PANAMA CITY BEACH - Florida Fish and Wildlife officials are searching for an alligator that one of their officers lost shortly after taking it to his daughter’s school.
The officer brought the 5-foot alligator to Breakfast Point Academy for show and tell Friday, said FWC spokesman Stand Kirkland. The alligator was taped around it’s mouth. Shortly after the officer left the school, a driver flagged him down and told him that his “passenger,� the alligator, had jumped out of his vehicle.
“They have an amazing jumping ability,� Kirkland said.
The animal is believed to be in a wooded area near Pier Park, officials said. Officers still were searching for the alligator Friday afternoon.

This is just funny. Thankfully it didn't jump out at the school. 5 feet is pretty good size. But if it's mouth is taped it can't do too much...still funny. I wouldn't wanna be that officer tho...oh the jokes.

OK ... so:
a. FWC officer caught the gator just for show and tell?
b. FWC officer keeps one as a pet?
c. FWC agency keeps gators on hand just for such an occasion?
Won't ask how the gator was being transported, but imagine if it jumped out on I-10?
