Too many Pennsylvanians travel to Florida for the winter and back in the spring. Somebody told me that live gators, a foot or so long, were cheap and easy to buy in Florida. It is only a two day drive to Pennsylvania, even less if you use a team.
We had a gator a couple of years back which was found swimming in our local reservoir. There were several attempts to capture the critter until September, when we gave up.
Needless to say, Mother Nature solved the problem. But it is a great way to get attention during the dog days of summer.

There is an alligator farm in Colorado at 8000ft. The water is warmed with a hot spring, but they often spread out to ponds not heated. They survive by letting their nose stick out of the ice and more or less hibernating.
