Roger Desjarlais shared a photo of the 11-foot-long dead gator that was removed from a drainage system in Fort Myers on Monday.

Eleven feet long." Lee County public information officer Betsy Clayton told news-press.com residents had called complaining of bad odor in addition to the clogged drains. "About twice a year we get calls for gators," she said before clarifying that the gators are usually much smaller. "Our pipes are not that big." A DOT crew arrived at the scene to remove the gator with an excavator before taking the body to a designated dumping site. "This was an abnormally large gator," County DOT director Randy Cerchie said. "It's just part of what we do."
