Great pet!  :

[steve863]

Wow, alligators!!  I don't think they can survive very long in NYS, however.  I think the mountain lions will eat them up before they could get a real foot hold in the state.  LOL

[WNYBuckHunter]

LOL steve, I was just about to say they can find 3 gators in one river, but no sign of the mysterious ML population in NY.

Bigfoot was playing fetch with his pet Mountain Lion when the gator came out of the river, grabbed the ball and disappeared!

wow crazy... it might not survive the cold winters we have here in NY. however it does dip down into the high 30s in Florida my grandparents told me and they survive there. georga is cold and also loaded with gators.. life finds away... however i do not thing that little gator would make it

[fasteddie]

Maybe they will swim south for the winter ........ ???

[biggamefish]

Oh no,  You guys didn't say mountain lion did you.  Here come the stories!!

[erussell]

Gators are illegal to own in NY but just like fireworks you can go right across the boarder into PA  in Hallstead and there are Gators in the pet stores there that people go and buy, then let them go when they get to big.

[fasteddie]

hey , I wear Gators when I snowshoe !  ???

[Fantail]

Gators fear Betty White.

No wait, she feeds them cows.

Back in the 70-80's there were stories on Gators in NYC sewer system. I do not remember if it was verified, but you never know ??? . 

[noodle one]

Oh no,  You guys didn't say mountain lion did you.  Here come the stories!!

YES, there are wild mountain lions living in New York.

[WNYBuckHunter]

In zoos and other captive situations.

Please show us picture of one or any other hard proof.

Would be great to see the 1000's of claims finally verified and back by the first real bit of proof.

[SteveB]

Just can't help myself.

[bigd]

release a few more crime control maybe another hunting season for new york to charge for >

[Cabin Fever]

I wonder if the DEC is planning on catching the critter to get it out of there? They didn't say anything in the video about any plans of capturing it.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Id bet they dont bother. The gators wont make it through the winter anyway.

[Cabin Fever]

I was just wondering if they would want to get it out, due to public safety? You know, kids swimming or people seeing it there and trying to catch it, resulting in someone getting bit...

[fasteddie]

Oh no,  You guys didn't say mountain lion did you.  Here come the stories!!

YES, there are wild mountain lions living in New York.

The DEC says "NO" .........
