I was walking in my neighborhood once and found a huge alligator skin about 5' long. Before then, in my ignorance, I never thought of them shedding like a snake. My next thought was "Wow, this big thing walks among us and there was no water nearby". I was cautious going out after that but learned it was spring time and that is when they travel from place to place looking to mate and I didn't move to Jurassic Park.
