PA Gators!

Yeah it's been hot. The weather's been rather tropical this week, but it's still surprising to come across alligators in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. A Pennsylvania man says he spotted one Monday night while driving in Butler County!

So, naturally, he pulled over to the side of the road, grabbed a rope and chased after the four-foot-long gator. He managed to get a lasso around the animal's snout. Not bad for an amateur!

Meanwhile just across the state line police captured a three-foot-long alligator that was spotted near a convenience store in Fairmont, West Virginia.

Anybody out there missing a few gators?

July 16 our local paper reported the capture of a 4 foot alligator in Steuben County NY. It's looks like someone from the south had a few in the back of the truck and randomly tossed them out on a drive north.
