WOA Exclusive: Monster Photographed in Enchanted Lake!

Taken just before 7am today (August 25).  These are the first known high-resolution photographs taken of the mythical beast that roams Enchanted Lake, and possibly Highland Oaks park.  The pictures were taken of 19740 NE 24th Court.

As you can see, the monster has fire in its eyes... or is it just red-eye from the camera flash?

Awaiting determination from the Florida Wildlife Commission on whether this is an alligator or a crocodile, which has been the subject of much debate the last few years (and has a major impact on what action can be taken: Crocs are protected; Gators are not).   Whatever it is, it's described as 10 feet in length!
