They are a lot more common than people think. And they have no problem moving from lake to lake via rivers and creeks. They don't even mind walking a mile or so at times.

The late Monte Stratton of MLB fame had a few free range gators in his pond just outside of Greenville when I was growing up. There have always been gators in Tawakoni, and I saw a little one, maybe 4 to 5 feet, on the bank of the Sabine River in Greenville when I was working on a bridge crew back in 1984. The guys I worked with claimed they saw slides and other gator evidence (old hatching nests) all the time up and down the Sabine and its tributary creeks.

Never heard of any gator attacks on humans in any of those areas. I think the biggest worry with them is they will eat your dog if he likes to swim.

Is that a gator or a croc? Methinks it's a croc...
