The Animal Blog

Imagine you get up in the morning, go through your morning routine, and get ready for your day. You open your door to pick up the paper off of your welcome mat. Something's odd. You try to turn the page, but for some reason you can't.

But then it hits you...

You forgot to start the coffee pot!

...oh and there's an alligator on your porch.

A similar situation (not really) happened to a woman and her dog in Kentucky. According to the article on the Lexington-Herald Leader it is supposed that the alligator was smuggled into Lexington and left at this woman's apartment.

I offer two different theories:

1. The gator is a big fan of the Colonel, so it crawled up to meet him.
2. The gator got lost on his was to St. Loius to see the Cardinals play.

I can't really see any other situation being plausible.

Another alligator gone astray later today.

"'I thought it was a muskrat,' she said."

Umm... that's not a muskrat lady.

Montana. Also known as "the land with no alligators."

Well, not anymore. While fishing on a local pond, a mother and her two children were very suprised to find the newest resident of Kalispell, Montana. Once again authorities believe that this gator was once a pet, set loose by its owners after it grew too big.

And once again, I disagree and offer up my own hypotheses regarding the situation:

1. The gator had never seen a moose, but desperately wanted to
2. Um... or maybe a buffalo

Mystery solved.

Here is yet another story about an alligator in a place it shouldn't be.

This time, the gator was captured in an apartment in Massachusetts. This could be another sign that the real estate bubble hasn't quite yet burst in Massachusetts if even the gators are still renting.
