This just in. Alligators are not native to Wisconsin. However, they have a knack for showing up there. A very young alligator was just spotted in a Hazel Green, Wisconsin yard which led to a mad dash to capture the creature.
I think alligators are amazing creatures. I'd like to see one, but there's the whole "it might bite your arm off" problem. There is new video of an alligator that really is in Missouri, but it's probably fine.
Planning to adventure in or near the water in Missouri? You might want to be careful if you do as I have video proof that you're often not alone in the water. Can you say alligators?
You can't have an alligator in Missouri at least legally. That didn't stop one man who tried to make sure the entire population of a small town in the bootheel had a chance to own one of these potentially vicious predators.
No, you won't normally find alligators in Missouri. Yes, there was an alligator that was just spotted in a lake in the Show Me State. But, I've got some bad news and it's not about the alligator being found in a lake where it shouldn't have been.
You might want to look twice before you jump in the water after you see a video that proves a water park in Illinois really did have an alligator swimming in it.
It began with a simple question that has a complicated answer. Are there alligators in Missouri? The answer is yes, but also no. I'll attempt to explain with a flashback to a real alligator encounter that happened in Missouri as recently as last summer.
