We followed this gator removal truck for awhile the other afternoon. We were on our way to Coral Springs to a teaching appointment and saw the truck. We thought we could find out where they were going, but we got separated in traffic and lost sight of it. There is a lift gate at the back, where they load the gators and then slide them into a cage like enclosure to transport them back to the Everglades. Nor unlike a "dog catcher", but the gators are released back into the wild, far from the populated neighborhoods where they have been found. The raccoons are released back into the Everglades also. They are a food source for the gators.
