We had one here in Coffee County TN at Normandy Lake for a long time until it attacked someone’s dog. They caught it and got rid of it.

I bought one of those little gators from the dime store in the early 60’s. I’m sorry now I flushed his ass down the toilet

when I was a kid, we brought an alligator back from a Florida vacation. Built him a nice pen and gave him a name (Al) and made him our pet. He didn't survive the first freeze! They are a cold bloodied reptile. They use the sun to warm their blood!

Thats it! play the gators in December!

In all seriousness, it's no coincidence that the Birmingham office sets our games against Florida for the hottest week of the football calendar year.

They're all over the place on the SC coast where I live. Not a lot of fun. You'd think they would stick to fresh or brackish water, but they get into salt water too.

Many years ago when I could still run, I got chased by a gator (for a reasonably short distance before he quit) on Hunting Island. They are really quick in a straight line but they are really clumsy when they try to turn when they're running fast. They can't make a sharp cut while running with those short legs.

Let’s hope their secondary has the same problem here in four days 😉

All joking aside, there has been a breeding population of alligators in Shelby County for over 20 years, and they got there naturally. Alligators, like fire ants and armadillos, have been moving north for a long time. Their movement through Mississippi and Arkansas is well known, and we’re just the next spot on the landscape. Also, there’s nothing invasive about them as they’re in our fossil record from times past when temps stayed high enough to allow them to live here.

This is me pulling a 9 foot gator from a small lake in southern Florida a few years ago. Caught several that day and euthanized each of them later that evening with a .22 round to the back of the head.
