Alligator Foot Found in Truck!

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) officers became suspicious after they noticed an alligator foot sticking out of the pickup's dashboard, the agency said. 

The driver, who had been stopped as part of a routine check for day-use passes at a wildlife area, initially told the officers he legally killed the gator years ago. 

But the officers noticed other alligator parts "scattered throughout the truck" and "could smell that the alligator had been taken recently", the FWC wrote on its Facebook page on Monday.

The agency said the driver, who was not identified, eventually admitted he had killed the reptile within the last few days without a hunting permit.
