There  probably aren't many alligators in the NYC sewage system but it  does
happen.


Someone let a Cayman (alligator type reptile) go in a pond in Central  Park.  
It would not have survived the Winter but fortunately the Park  Rangers 
captured it and it is now in the Zoo.  
 
It is rumored that people buy baby alligators on their vacations in Florida  
and then when they grow too large they flush them down the toilet, My only  
question about this rumor is what if they got stuck?  Always check before  you 
sit down!
 
A decade or so ago a woman I met in a bar (and her friends) made  
papier-mache alligator half bodies and placed them so it looked as if they  were coming 
out of the sewer.  They called the Daily News who sent a  photographer and it 
lightened up someone's day with a laugh.
