Default Traveling Alligators?

Is it true that Alligators can and do travel through storm retention ponds using the huge underground pipe system that connects the retention ponds to each other?

Thanks
Jeremy

Life, nature is a bit of a miracle. At one time there was a theory of spontaneous generation, there was Darwin, there was conflicts with the bible etc etc etc.

Alligators? We do not have a pool but there is no shortage of people finding alligators in their backyards, pools etc. Perhaps the story of the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Life survives because nature tells it to spread. An alligator is better suited to water but it can and does get up and walk.

I recall reading somewhere that humans survived simply because we do not taste good.

Yes, they may travel. But they require a COVID test 3 days prior to departure, proof of vaccination, and must wear a mask the whole time they are in transit
