Brooklyn alligator facing ‘long process’ as it continues its recovery at Bronx Zoo — Bronx Times
Reddit Animals
MARCH 21, 2023
Sharks in the water may be a given in some places; alligators too. But in New York City, they’re not thought of as common, which is why it was such a shock when an alligator was found and saved from a lake in Brooklyn last month.

I am, of course, referring to Alligator mississippiensis , more commonly known as the American Alligator , or, colloquially, as gators. Though alligator attacks are rare they do happen. According to Wikipedia : Alligators are capable of killing humans, but are generally wary enough not to see them as a potential prey.

Can animals that typically live on both land and water live without being in the water?
Reddit Animals
MARCH 21, 2023
I know that there are certain animals like frogs, capybaras, alligators, beavers and turtles that live on both land and water. Apologies for the weirdly worded title. If any of these animals were put into a place where they had access only to drinking water, but no body of water to swim in, does this jeopardize their ability to survive?

Five-Year Old Shoots 35-Year Old in Head

OCTOBER 5, 2009
It saddens me, and I find it extremely disturbing, that a five-year old child is giddy, and his parents (and the journalists on this program) are so pleased that he killed a 35-40-year old alligator. Let's deconstruct a few details: The young boy shot the alligator, who had been trapped , in the head and killed him.

The second thing they did was to interfere with the genetic pathways in some chickens, which produced a chicken with beaky bits that were more like snouty bits found in, for example, a Alligator. However, both birds and Alligators actually use this pathway. Alligator are not birds lacking this pathway. Here’s the thing.

I guess when you live with alligators, humans just don’t seem like that big of a deal. They are normally nocturnal (these photos were taken at sundown) but in Florida, they can be seen during the day. As with many Florida birds, they don’t seem to fear humans as much as other places. Presumably, that’s what happened here.

The first attracts lots of local tourists, because of the many alligators that live in its waters.

Barra de Pichi has fewer gators.

And while finding snails is not difficult for a long legged bird that is not afraid to wade into alligator-infested marshes it is difficult to extract the yummy snail meat from its protective shell. That is, they eat snails of the genus Pomacea to the exclusion of all else, provided the snails are available.
