My sister told me on the phone tonight that there are alligators in the Pittsburgh rivers again.

Do you remember before when they took alligators out of the river there? How long ago was that?

OMG, I just did a youtube search for Pittsburgh alligators and 6 or 7 years ago they were finding them everywhere.

Where I lived in Texas near the gulf there were gators, apparently some could even be found in this ravine near the main strip of I-35...or so I was told, never wanted to go and look lol.

They didn't say all these were pets.

Looks like gators can tolerate much lower temps then people think. There is a gator farm in Idaho. I also see it on a TV show years ago. Make me wonder why they never expanded there range north until maybe now?
