A very strange story that comes from Mobile Alabama where an alligator was seen coming out of a storm drain recently. Talk about bad timing since when the alligator came out of the storm drain, a school bus had dropped off students who had come home from school. The fear from the persons who were in the area was the alligator would come toward the children and harm them for being in the path of the alligator. However the alligator who was 50 feet away from the children stay away from the children as the four to five alligator crawled on the grass toward the bushes near an apartment complex when members of the Game And Wildlife officials managed to take the alligator away from the neighborhood and release into the wild. Talk about the children who got off the school bus to go home as being lucky that the alligator did not come near them.

I'm glad that the alligator stayed away from the children.

I know what you mean since I know that alligators are in Florida and Louisiana since in the latter I have seen mascots of alligators as cartoon images in some office buildings.

I know what you mean since the report was that there could have been a major tragic incident in Mobile if the alligator went after the children.

Let's hope he doesn't come back. Baby alligators I heard were in the sewers of New York city

I hope so as well since alligators are not to be messed with.
