join right now by meteorologist francis dinglasan.een talking about that story since the start of this newscast. i've worked with a lot of alligators in past jobs. i will say you've worked with them well over at gatorland in orlando years ago, and i will say that alligator didn't look so healthy coming out of the water with that hunchback there. i'm concerned with his health, and if authorities have it, maybe they can help him. >> yeah, and it seems like they were concerned about the owner's health, too. or just the alligator's health. >> i think just the alligators. >> i'm sorry, but you can't believe you'd have something like that in his house. >> and then you're saying that he would let neighbors pet the alligator? >> yeah, i believe so. >> yeah, that just sounds. >> you're really not supposed to go in their water habitat with them. so that's a little off there. >> yeah. yeah, i think that just sounds like a recipe for something to go terribly wrong. >> well, the good news is there's not much gator habitat here in the bay area. rig
