Kensington Metropark police warn of alligator

[Lowell]

Here's a step up from lampreys and zebra mussels when it comes to invasive species. Just in time for summer swimming season.

"An alligator may be on the loose in Kensington Metropark near Milford.

“We have been made aware of a possible alligator sighting in Kent Lake at Kensington Metropark,” Danielle Mauter, spokeswoman for the Huron-Clinton Metroparks, confirmed on Thursday. “Out of an abundance of caution, and for visitor safety, we have posted signage around the lake to notify visitors of this possibility and to contact Metroparks Police if this alligator is sighted.”

"The signs warn: “Be aware. Possible alligator sighting in Kent Lake.” They advise visitors that, if they see an alligator, they should call the Metroparks Police at 810-227-8910.

So I'm assuming another idiot had one at their home and released into the park?

Poor thing had a long walk in the cold over the winter.

when Texas had a freeze snap at -30 the alligators suspend themselves floating in the water with their nose above the ice to breath and allow the water to freeze around them like an ice cube.

They go into a comatose state,like lizards and the iguanas in south Florida,when it gets cold out they fall out of the trees,honey bees the same way.

Gator meat is good eating,cut it up into scallop size chunks,fry it and have like a gator meat salad.

When it gets cold here the gators come out at night and like to sleep on the warm pavement ,you find out it is better to just turn around and go back the other way cause you ain’t getting out and moving that log out of the road.

If they allow small dogs there,they are in a lot more danger then the human walking them,because they are snack size and gators are fast.

That should be posted warning,they do not bother people outside of the idiots that think it is funny to poke them with a stick,then when they get bit gator gets put down and the idiot gets to continue being an idiot.

That's the same one I saw in 1959, a double feature at the Bel-Air with "The Fly". They can live like 100 years.

Ditto, a night at the drive-in is like a college education.
