Default Alligator tips

Tip #1 - An alligator is fast, even on land. Twice as fast as most people, which is about four times faster than us Villagers. You cannot outrun the gator. So if you're walking with your wife by a pond and you see a gator approaching. Run, run fast. And remember you don't need to outrun the gator, just outrun your wife!

Tip #2 - Alligator groups and gender identification - groups of alligators are called a congregation. See, you learned something today! If you see a congregation and they're all bunched together, snorting and swishing their tails, these will be males having a good time. If you spot a congregation of females, you can recognize them, because they'll generally be in small bunches of two or three, and will be snarling, barking and snapping their teeth at the other bunches.

Just TEASING, it's better than politics and pandemics.
