The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission received a call about the incident at around 3:45 pm Thursday, according to a statement shared with CNN. Lake Thonotosassa is in Hillsborough County, near Tampa.
The Hillsborough County Fire Rescue transported the 34-year-old victim to the hospital, the fish and wildlife commission said, adding that it dispatched a contracted alligator trapper to the lake and is continuing to investigate the incident.
Around 1.3 million alligators live in Florida, in all 67 counties, according to the commission. The agency recommends people stay away from alligators and avoid handling or feeding them. Nuisance alligators — those that are 4 feet or longer and believed to pose a threat to people, their pets or property — are trapped and killed by the agency through its Statewide Nuisance Alligator Program. A total of 9,442 nuisance alligators were killed in 2021, the commission says.
There have been at least three fatal alligator attacks in the US this year. In July, an elderly woman died after falling into a lake and being grabbed by two alligators in Florida. Another person was killed by an alligator near a retention pond in South Carolina’s Myrtle Beach in June. And a Florida man was killed by an alligator while searching for Frisbees in a lake in late May.
Activision has finally announced when it will be revealing more details on Call of Duty: Warzone 2. We’ve known for quite some time now that the follow-up battle royale shooter, which Activision is only referring to as “Warzone 2.0,” would be releasing at a time later in 2022. And while the end of the year is rapidly approaching , we still haven’t seen anything about what will be next for war zone. Fortunately, Activision has now confirmed that more information will be coming around the corner in a new event next month.
Revealed in a new blog post on the Call of Duty website, Activision detailed what it’s calling “Call of Duty: Next,” which is an event slated to take place on September 15th. In short, Call of Duty: Next will feature news on “the imminent future of Call of Duty” which includes information on Modern Warfare 2, war zone 2and the mobile port of Call of Duty: Warzone. Rather than revealing all of these details slowly over time, Activision and developer Infinity Ward have opted to instead have one mega-event that will highlight a number of upcoming projects.
Clear your calendars September 15 for #CODNEXT – an era-defining, livestream franchise event.
✅full #ModernWarfare2 MP reveal ✅ The future of #Warzone ✅ The #Warzone mobile experience ✅ Live gameplay from your favorite streamers
— Call of Duty @ #CDLChamps (@CallofDuty) August 7, 2022
In addition to seeing new footage from Modern Warfare 2 and war zone 2 at this event, there’s a good chance that we could also get a launch date for the latter title at Call of Duty: Next. given that war zone 2 is set to release before the end of the year, Activision is nearing the point where it would likely start revealing more plans for launch. If a release date does come about at this event, we’ll be sure to keep you in the loop here on ComicBook.com.
whenever Call of Duty: Warzone 2 does release, it will be coming to PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC. The game won’t be compatible with the original war zonehowever, which means that progress and items won’t transfer to the sequel.
How do you feel about Activision opting to hold one big showcase to show off more of what’s coming to Call of Duty in the future? And what are you specifically expecting to see from war zone 2? Let me know either down in the comments or reach out to me on Twitter at @MooreMan12.
The NRL has conceded the use of the captain’s challenge “needs to be reviewed,” however no action will be taken regarding the Wests Tigers’ controversial loss to the Cowboys in Round 19.
Meanwhile, the Tigers have confirmed they will not pursue the matter any further.
The Tigers lodged a formal complaint after the Cowboys received an escort penalty in the final seconds of the game, allowing Valentine Holmes to kick the matchwinning goal.

While there were big question marks raised over the penalty itself, there was also confusion over how the Cowboys were able to trigger a captain’s challenge when it seemed like play was never stopped.
As a result the Tigers demanded answers and began looking at legal options to potentially get the result overturned.
NRL defends Bunker call | 00:43
The NRL acknowledged that the escort penalty was incorrect but stood by the Cowboys’ right to use their captain’s challenge.
Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe and chairman Lee Hagipantelis met with ARL Commission chairman Peter V’landys, NRL CEO Andrew Abdo and NRL head of football Graham Annesley last week to discuss the matter.
The NRL released a statement on Monday afternoon to confirm that no action will be taken regarding the result other than a review of the captain’s challenge at the end of the season.

“The Chairman and CEO of the Wests Tigers met with the Chairman of the ARLC, NRL CEO and NRL Head of Football last week,” an NRL statement read.
“The meeting was agreed to discuss various aspects of the rulings made in the final minutes of the Wests Tigers and North Queensland Cowboys match on 24 July 2022, being the subject of a formal complaint lodged by Wests Tigers with the NRL.
“The NRL has acknowledged the concerns raised by the Wests Tigers and in response has put forward its interpretation of the rules which enabled the Captain’s Challenge to be made and the subsequent decision of the Bunker match official.
“The NRL has already acknowledged that the Bunker official decision of “escort” was incorrect, leading to the erroneous awarding of a penalty in favor of North Queensland Cowboys which ultimately decided the match.
Tigers Chair won’t rule out legal action | 04:10
“On the matter of whether the Captain’s Challenge was permissible in terms of how the rules were drafted, the NRL and the Wests Tigers expressed differing views and interpretation.
“The NRL is comfortable with the interpretation that was applied but has acknowledged, in light of the concerns raised by the Wests Tigers, that the rule needs to be reviewed at the end of the season to provide more clarity so as to ensure that there is no future misunderstanding as to the intent and application of the rule. Wests Tigers will be consulted as part of the review, together with other interested Clubs and stakeholders.
“The NRL acknowledges the professional and respectful manner in which the representatives of the Wests Tigers have pursued their concerns on behalf of their Club’s members and fans.
“There will be no further consideration in relation to the match of 24 July 2022.”

Following the NRL’s decision, the Tigers released a statement to confirm the club will not pursue legal action.
“Wests Tigers have decided not to pursue a course of legal action following the club’s loss to North Queensland Cowboys in Round 19 of the NRL Telstra Premiership,” the statement read.
“The club, through Chair Lee Hagipantelis and CEO Justin Pascoe, has been involved in lengthy discussions with the NRL over the past two weeks, and following the receipt of external legal advice, has decided against pursuing this matter any further.
“The NRL has acknowledged, in light of the concerns raised by the Wests Tigers, that the rules do need to be revised at the end of the season, so as to prevent similar incidents occurring again. Wests Tigers will be consulted as part of that review.
“Wests Tigers have been overwhelmed and humbled by the support the club has received from its members and fans.
“We have made our point to the NRL and made it forcibly. We did so on behalf of our members and fans and gave voice to their legitimate concerns that the outcome of the match was not just nor fair.
“We extracted a concession from the NRL that the obstruction penalty which was given was erroneous and therefore, by implication, Wests Tigers should have won that match.
“We know it, everyone knows it. Unfortunately, the history books will not record it that way.
A fed up Ray Hadley has stormed off midway through a live broadcast after enduring 30 minutes of “technical difficulties”.
The 2GB host was presenting his program from the Ekka, the annual agricultural show of Queensland, in Brisbane when he became increasingly agitated that the show wasn’t running smoothly.
Hadley repeatedly apologized to listeners and threw ad breaks throughout the first 60 minutes of the three-hour long program.
“All I can do is apologize most sincerely for the first 30 minutes of the program which has been a complete and utter fiasco,” he said.

“But I do apologize. I’m broadcasting from the Ekka, which I didn’t get a chance to tell you because nothing seemed to work.
“I hope it is currently working and we’ll see what happens from hereon… and obviously we’ll be having some discussions at midday about the fiasco I’ve presided over.”
The host threw several breaks telling listeners “there are people here trying to fix things – unsuccessfully I might mention”.
Another round of advertisements followed before Hadley decided to throw the towel in.
“Look, we are having some rather severe technical problems here at the Ekka to the extent that Mark Levy will be looking after the program after ten o’clock this morning, for which I do apologize to Mark and everyone else,” he said.
Hadley then went on to tell listeners he was making his way “back to Sydney” despite the program being scheduled to broadcast live from the showground until Friday.
“I’ll make my way back to Sydney and I’ll be broadcasting from the studio in Sydney tomorrow given the problems we’ve encountered this morning,” he told listeners.
Nine Entertainment refuted the claims, telling The Australian Hadley “will be on air at the Ekka for the rest of the week”.

Is it time for Port Adelaide to go in a new direction?
Power coach Ken Hinkley is contracted for 2023, but David King wonders if it’s time the playing group heard a different voice.
Hinkley has been at the helm for 10 seasons, guiding the club to three Preliminary Finals in 2014, 2020 and 2021.
It’s been a topsy-turvy 2022 for the Power, losing their opening five games before rallying to put themselves back in the finals mix.
Four consecutive losses in the backend of the year have ended their final hopes.

“I’ve said this before, but If I’m Ken, I’m looking at other options saying, ‘Is there another opportunity at the Giants? Is there an opportunity at the Kangaroos? Is there an opportunity somewhere else to go and reset and be another six to eight to 10-year coach at another club?’ Because I think he’s good enough to do that,” King told SEN’s Whateley.
“I think he provides a great environment, he’s a really positive guy, he can clearly coach, he’s had teams at the pointy end even though they’ve haven’t won it or made a Grand Final, and I understand the negativity around that .
“But maybe it’s time for a change, maybe it’s time for Port Adelaide to hear a different voice and look at a different method.
“I think they’ve had the three-to-four-year window – I think that’s gone. How do they reset quickly to get back to there, and is that with Ken, are the biggest questions they’ve got to answer.”
Power president David Koch says every role at the club will be under review at season’s end.
“It’s not just about one individual person. It’s the whole program. Turn it around or watch out,” Koch told FIVEaa.
“Because every single person’s role will be assessed at the end of the year, as we do each year, but this year is more important than ever, and we are not afraid to make change. We have made plenty of changes.
“We have got to win games and we know that is what we exist to do.
“We will be making those hard decisions at the end of the year across the entire program to make us better next year.”
The Power will look to snap a run of four-straight defeats against Essendon at Marvel Stadium on Sunday.
Australians are bracing for a nationwide cold snap as some parts of the country battle temperatures below zero, rain, hail and flood warnings.
The Bureau of Meteorology told NCA NewsWire that Queensland’s August average so far this year had fallen between four and eight degrees since the same time period in 2021, plummeting to -2C temperatures in some parts of the state.
“It started off a lot warmer last year than it did this year,” meteorologist Livio Regano said.
The Darling Downs and Granite Belt regions were the coldest parts of the state, falling to -2C on Monday morning as a cold, dry air mass pushed north from South East Queensland.
A 1800km blanket of frost is also expected to hit Queensland, stretching between Stanthorpe and the far north.
The cold snap sweeping the nation has torn through NSW, ACT, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, bringing fog, rain and snow to some regions.
Widespread fog blanketed five states on Monday, triggering a weather warning for SA motorists.
The road weather alert was issued early on Monday, saying there would be reduced visibility and potentially dangerous driving conditions in Adelaide and the Adelaide Hills.
In Victoria, meteorologist Dean Narramore said temperatures in Westmere, in the state’s southwest, nosedived to -1.4C, while other regions were hit with zero degrees.
“The high pressure system has moved in from late last week, which is giving Victoria in particular those cold mornings,” he said.
NSW and the ACT are bracing for snow over their southern ranges, with a chance of thunderstorms on the slopes later this week.
There’s a flood warning in the southern NSW town of Gundagai following the highest recorded overflow from the Yass River into the Burrinjuck Dam.
Water releases from the dam increased to 98,000 megalitres a day over the weekend following heavy rain in parts of the region.
Down south, Tasmanian residents are feeling colder than forecast temperatures due to the cold northwesterly winds hitting the state.
Hobart sat at 1.5 degrees on Monday morning, although the temperature feels-like dropped to -4C.
Alongside Adelaide, the state has also issued road weather warnings and urged motorists to drive to the conditions following thick fog.
The east coast of Tasmania could also experience minor flooding over the weekend, with a Tasman low likely to form and bring heavy rain.
Residents living in Queensland, NSW, ACT, Victoria, SA and Tasmania are expected to experience milder mornings after Wednesday.
A pair of Chicago-based podcast hosts have spent the past 5 years holding Jones and his Infowars network accountable. Their program, Knowledge Fight, has produced more than 700 episodes, anduses comedy to “cut through crazy lies,” Stelter said on Reliable Sources Sunday.
Hosts Dan Friesen and Jordan Holmes traveled to Texas to witness Jones’ trial first hand. Friesensaid the most powerful moment inside the courtroom was watching Jesse Lewis’ mom Scarlett Lewis give her testimony and speak directly to Jones.
“I think it will stay with pretty much everyone there for the rest of their lives,” Friesen said.
The co-hosts have been covering Jones since 2017, watching his transformation from a seemingly untouchable figure to one that is now in serious legal and financial jeopardy.
“During this whole stretch of time, his content itself has been essentially hollow,” Friesen said. “Watching him from my perspective has gotten a lot less interesting.”
But despite Jones’ legal woes, Holmes said that the culture he’s helped engender has gotten a lot bigger.
“Conspiracy culture is something that is created through the cracks of our regular society,” Holmes said.
And although their podcast focuses on scrutinizing Jones and his tactics, Holmes said the trial was really about the victims.
“People would like to focus on Alex being kind of a bombastic character that we can mock and make fun of, but this isn’t about him,” Holmes said.
The podcast format allows the hosts to go beyond Jones as a character and dive into the mechanisms of what he’s doing and why these conspiracy narratives exist.
“We approach it with the understanding that it’s a serious topic,” Friesen said. “But also that in order to make it interesting for anybody to listen to, we have to make it make something entertaining.”
Friesen has listened to countless hours of Jones’ program, and calls it an “incredibly boring experience.”
“The reason that I do this is because I can stomach that boredom,” Friesen said. He endures the task in order to help others get insights into the misinformation phenomenon. “So they could be in a place where they could better understand what Alex is doing and what he brings to the table.”
Many hope that the legal and financial jeopardy Jones’ is now facing will help curtail misinformation and conspiracy culture. But Friesen isn’t convinced it will be a severe blow.
“The conspiracy producers and people who engage in the sorts of conduct that Alex does end up becoming a little bit savvier,” Friesen said. “They end up learning where the lines are… of what they can do and what they can get away with.”
Sometimes, life becomes easier if you look back at the things that made it great. Or, on the complete other end of the spectrum, your life becomes riddled with nothing but sorrow from the cursed things you’ve seen in your lifetime.
I like to think the Mario Koala is one of those cursed things.
My life has never known peace since I set my eyes on him. Roughly once every few months, I find myself remembering that fucked up beast. I don’t know why, he just haunts me. I respect him only because I fear the power he holds over me.
Just in case you forgot, I’m going to make you remember. Because I never forgot him.
The Super Mario Koala is a painted sculpture made by artists Kate Clarke and Bernadette Wallace. He was cursed to live motionless upon this forsaken Earth for nice reasons, though. AAs part of a fundraiser for the Currumbin Wildlife Hospital Foundation, the Super Mario Koala was created along with many other koalas to raise money for the hospital in the Gold Coast.
The foul creature has lived in Surfers Paradise for most of its life. However, according to reports (Editor’s note: It’s me, I’m ‘reporting’ — David), the Super Mario Koala has been on the move. Now at the southern tip of the Gold Coast, he physically haunts the entrance of a Timezone in a Coolangatta shopping center called The Strand. He is now meters from the NSW border. I fear he may attempt to flee interstate.
I fear he may be trying to reach me.
I am a lover of horrible things. I see yucky little freaks and they make me smile. Truly, there is a piece of me that has a deep love for the Super Mario Koala. I simply just wish it would stop taking up real estate in my brain.
I’m in bed. I’m about to fall asleep. A 4-hour YouTube documentary about a YouTuber I’ve never heard of plays wistfully in the background. I feel myself fading into a peaceful slumber, my shitty little body held tightly by my weighted blanket that I still believe one day might cure me of my unforgiving brain rot.
And soon, I fear, there he will be, in the doorway. Still. Lifeless. On all fours. He will say nothing, but his eyes beg for eucalyptus leaves. He will breathe in deeply, and let out a bellowing ‘Wahoo!’
I haven’t slept in years. The Super Mario Koala will not leave me alone.
