[External_Sender] DOA American Croc within FPL Cooling Canal System Attachments: Image.jpeg; Image.jpeg; Image.jpeg Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged On 5/21/23 at 1512 a DOA American croc was reported within the FPL Cooling Canal System. On 5/22/23 a FPL biologist responded and was able to retrieve the carcass at 08:35. The carcass was floating ventral side up by Lock Rosetta within the FPL CCS. The crocodile showed no obvious signs of trauma and seems to have perished of natural causes and therefor noncausal to plant activity. The animal was already severely decomposed with layers of skin peeling off most of its body. The biometrics are recorded below.
