Alligators in the Sewers of NYC? Yes!
Many people think that tales of alligators in the sewers of New York City is just another urban legend. Doubtless some of the tales are that, but there is documentation that there were real alligators living in the subterranean passages. How did they get in the sewers? The most popular explanation is that people went to Florida and brought back baby alligators as pets. When the animals grew, the people decided that having them as pets was not a good idea, so they flushed them down the toilets. Most likely some of the alligators were caimans, a Central and South American reptile that is related to alligators. During the 1960s, there was a widely told rumor about alligators on New York’s sewers. The basis of the rumor were events that happened in the mid 1930s. One was reported in the New York Times on February 10th 1935.

A Bull Island Adventure
The coast of North and South Carolina is unique in that it is dotted with numerous barrier islands. Some of these islands have become tourist havens for vacationing visitors looking to escape for days or weeks of fun in the sun. Other Carolina barrier islands have been reserved by the government (local, state, and/or federal) or have been saved by conservation groups in order to serve as a different type of haven - a haven for nature in its purest form. One such natural haven is Bull's Island, South Carolina.
