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.

Arkansas’ White River Monster - Serpent or Penguin?
Long before Bill and Hillary Clinton made this Arkansas River famous because of the scandal aptly called Whitewatergate, a land deal, the White River had its own claim to fame. It has a water monster. Even better, the monster, named Whitey, has its own game preserve! It was first sighted in the 1890s. The next were in 1915. The sightings were sporadic. In 1937 and 1971, there were numerous documented sightings. What was, or is, Whitey? A river serpent? Giant sturgeon or catfish? Elephant seal? A species unknown to science? Or, a giant penguin?

The Unique Serpent of Silver Lake
School children know that water occupies a greater percentage of planet earth than land does. Salt and fresh water cover 71% of earth’s surface. In 1885, a serpent was sighted in Silver Lake, NY, throwing the townspeople into panic and drawing visitors to the quiet resort community. Discovering an unknown animal in a lake is not a common experience, nor are sightings of strange aquatic animal life, but this one was very unusual. It only had a life span of two years and the last sighting was not when it was in lake, but when it was out of the water.
