Florida wildlife officials believe they found a five foot alligator that escaped after being brought to a daughter's school for show and tell by a wildlife officer. Stan Kirkland said the animal is likely in a Panhandle pond and searchers scoured the wooded area around the school after the gator jumped from the officer’s vehicle with its mouth taped shut. Officials noted alligators have strong jumping ability that helped the escape.
