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.

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.

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