Gator In Long Island NY Pool

[Alf]

First, Chicago. Next, Connecticut. And now Long Island? What's with the sudden influx of alligators in places they don't live?

I can see Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and probably North Carolina being home to more than a few gators, but Illinois? Connecticut? New York? Gators better pack their long johns before they move that far north.

A Long Island family made a jaw-dropping discovery Saturday when they found a baby alligator trying to beat the heat in their backyard pool.

Bayport resident Joe Baron says he went out to check the pool filter around 7:30 p.m. when he stumbled on the lizard as it was lounging in the water.

“I see a stick, and I look at the stick, and I’m like, ‘It’s attached to legs — and a head!’ I’m like, ‘Oh my god, that’s an alligator!’ ” Baron told The Post on Sunday. “At this point, I’m just stunned. A frog you get once in a blue moon, but an alligator, not in a million years.
