Alligator in rivers of America?

[Tomorrows child]

Walking along roa this morning and saw small alligator tucked back in underbrush. Was nearly dead center of frontier land and on the inside of walkway. Is it real or just a really good replica

Probably real. They do have real alligators that reside on there and all over property.

Real. I saw it swimming under the lower bridge next to SM when we were there back in October.

Ditto for us in August.

Was staying at Caribbean Beach a few years back and rented from the marina there. We half jokingly asked one of the CMs about alligators and he told us they do have them there but they keep an eye on their growth and move them when they get "too big". Could be he was just telling us what we wanted to hear but I'm inclined to believe it. It is Florida.

As is always said - any natural body of water in Florida is going to have alligators in it.

There is a certain size they have to get to before they are moved, I believe it is around 5ft.

Not uncommon, really. It's been said before by many others, but, ALWAYS assume that any freshwater body of water in Florida is home to at least one alligator (and dozens of snakes).

You beat me to it, by just a minute.

Here in Tejas, they like to wander into more interesting places.

We saw two at the same time in September.

And the famous three legged one a few years back.

we saw a gator swimming in Bay Lake just off the Wilderness Lodge beach back in 2014

We live about 70 miles south of Disneyworld and our Fish and Wildlife told us anything under 3 feet they do not remove. We had one smaller in the drainage ditch aside of the road where the kids wait for the bus.

I'm not sure. Pet it and report back?

This past July there was one at Coronado Springs swimming up to the Laguna Bar. Patrons were feeding it and giving it alcohol.

It's not the first that there was a gator at ROA and there was one spotted 4 years ago even. Proof:

Gator has to get down too man. I wonder if they are partial to tequila?

Someone gave it a bit of margarita and it didn't turn the offer down.
