I didn’t know there were alligators in Texas.
To be fair, I didn’t realize there were so many here either until I moved to this region. They are even finding them much farther north of where we are. Almost every neighborhood up here has a “water feature” if they don’t have a natural lake or pond, they make one. And they also have signs saying to stay out of the water and to contact the game warden if you see an alligator. We see them often and there is a story at least once a month (of not more often) of police officers having to catch a gator in someone’s driveway or back yard.
