Believe it or not, Gators CAN survive in the cold.

California has to be careful if there’s any more alligators in lakes and rivers they could possibly thrive in their environment. Like the pythons in Florida.

Is this the same gator that was spotted 5 years ago in elk Grove????

[Specogecko]

That’s a captive alligator that’s been released just by looking at it

“Just outgrew its owner” Translation = ate its owner and bounced.

I own an alligator, and it is highly illegal to release a gator in the wild without consent from the local wildlife commission. Also, if you don't want your gator, give him to me. Domesticated gators make very good pets.

lmao I let it go in 2017 yall just found it??

[Tricia]

Poor gator!! Of course it was an illegal pet 😡😡😡. At least someone came to their senses and made an anonymous call to notify the right people about this dangerous situation. This could have ended badly for the animal and for others. Thank goodness 🙏🏼 this has a good outcome.

Come on now I bet u is there the guy who Caught it.

Non-sense! Someone's pet became ill and it was turned in as "captured."

[harleyquinn]

If this can happen now, who’s to say American alligators didn’t reside within the region of what is now California centuries ago?

Will alligators could survive in cold waters and they could hibernate with there nose sticking out of the ice how do you think they survive in Alabama same thing the water gets freezing cold and they will stick the nose up as the water freeze over there

[Jairplaysalone]

they probably think alligators came from mostly Florida

[JoelGalvan-wy]

Ala gators, turtles and sharks are worlds oldest animals. They know how to survive. So get ready for babies.

[worldpeace]

We all know how it got there, humans.
We are ignorant enough to desire something that does not quite make a good pet. Morales people. Respect people.
EDUCATION, RESPECT, DISCIPLINE AND
EDUCATION again, because we think we know EVERYTHING. LOL
