Gators on Wisconsin!....................

[ComputerGuy]

Once those things learn to hibernate during the winter, they’ll be there year-round.

Winter will not go well for alligators in Wisconsin.

[BipolarBob]

Not the first tie gators have been spotted in Wisconsin.

[Dr. Franklin]

I’ve never seen an aligator that had spots...

"only a 10 minute drive over the state line from Dubuque"

So? Are alligators supposed to be in Iowa but not Wisconsin?

Shucks - this ain’t nothing.

In the ‘60’s a frat brother and I “borrowed” a 6’ 200lb. alligator from a small zoo in northern Indiana for a prank that didn’t work out. A 2nd prank didn’t work either so we let Alberta go in a pond in the woods.

What we didn’t know was a creek went from that pond to the largest lake in Indiana and Alberta took it to the lake, freaking out summer residents who called for whoever put the alligator in the lake to get the electric chair.

Alberta was eventually caught as were her kidnappers, labelled as “Gator Nappers” by Indiana newspapers.

Facing $6,000 in fines and 6 years in jail, the Lord showed us mercy with a $35 misdemeanor fine after a tongue-lashing by the judge that made us think we were getting life.

“After Wagner’s husband John safely captured it in a cat cage, neighbors called the Wisconsin DNR to come pick it up.”

They’ll just tag it and release it...hopefully into one of the Madistan lakes, LOL!

“She told KWWL, ‘We were both in disbelief, um, just looked down, and, it’s like oh boy, called the men folk and said you gotta come check this out.’”

She must be an Illinois Transplant. We don’t talk like that, LOL!

And it’s: “On, Wisconsin!” :)

1. "...these alligators continue to grow throughout their entire lives" 2. "...measuring about 2.5 feet and likely not fully grown yet" Think about that for a moment. There there is "...only a 10 minute drive over the state line from Dubuque." Is the author suggesting gators typically roam a lot more than 10 minutes from Dubuque? How far do they roam? Hours-long drives? Who drives them? Why are those Iowans driving gators to Wisconsin? This article leaves the reader with a lot of unanswered questions.

gators migrate North to escape the hot Florida summer

[gitmo]

I prefer living in environments where gators can thrive.

Awwwww, it’s just a baby.
