Cheap Chicken Wing Deal Ruined by Gunslinging Teens
FIT Students Busted For Drug Dealing Get Probation
The alligator that was found in Brooklyn yesterday was successfully turned over to Animal Care & Control. The police found the 2-foot caiman alligator in a cardboard box with a shoelace tied and double-knotted around its jaw. Animal Care & Control warmed up the caiman and said it would go to licensed wildlife care or rehab facilities in Long Island or New Jersey. Oh, come on - at this point, the city should open up its own alligator zoo. They could reside in habitats that look like the sewer system.
If you check out the photos in this link, am New York revisits a May incident where two teeny alligators were abandoned at an auto repair shop - the mechanics tried to feed it fried chicken!

That is an AWESOME IDEA!!! A sewer themed zoo/Park, with Alligators and asorted other Urban Myth Sewer Dwellers.

Chicken is one of alligators favorite food. This reminds me of when a 4 foot alligator somehow found its way into a small polluted river in Hong Kong about 2 years ago. Having failed to catch it after weeks of trying, the HK Department of fish and wildlife hired experts from China and Australia to do the job. However they're not successful either. Every day, folks, especially children go to the riverbank for alligator sightings. The alligator was left alone in that little river until about a year later it was captured and moved to the zoo.
at least it was double knotted!
i wanna be cold blooded
P.S. An alligator is not the same thing as a caiman. There actually only 2 species of alligator in the world, one found only in the US and one in China. Caimans more widespread and are native to South America.
