Michael Wilk, of Salem, Wisonsin, has a 4-foot-long alligator displaying scale patterns that seems to spell out "G-O-D." An alligator biologist says that the markings appear to be legit. From the Chicago Tribune (click image for full photo by David Trotman-Wilkins):
Rev. Philip Wilde, a pastor at Zion Lutheran Church in nearby Bristol, said he views the markings as a coincidence of nature.
"Obviously it's there because God wanted it to be that way," said Wilde, who has not seen the gator. "But I don't see any special message in that."
