    KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Two alligators matching the description of the one that attacked a canoe Tuesday have been “recovered,” Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission agents said during a press conference. The 10- and 11-foot gators were found by trappers near the attack site at the mouth of the Tiger Creek in Lake Kissimmee. Testing will be done to see if either of them was responsible for the attack while trappers look for other gators nearby.
