We now have alligators in New Hampshire. A three footer was captured yesterday in the Lamprey River near Portsmouth NH. A town police officer, assisted by a state fish and game warden captured the reptile alive. And a good thing for the alligator, summer may be nourishing up here, but I don't believe alligators can take it when the river freezes over in winter. Global warming hasn't gone that far, yet. This story made the front page of the Manchester Union Leader.
Up here we aren't that used to alligators yet. A three footer took two men to deal with it, and caused a front page story. Down in real alligator country, Florida, a nine foot gator showed up at an elementary school. The school resource officer, a strapping young blonde woman, all by her self, got a rope around its neck, flipped it upside down, and duct taped its jaws shut. We need some practice before we get that good at dealing with gators.
