The last place I’d expect to find an alligator is in a Pathmark parking lot on Long Island!  Click “more” below for the full story.

There seems to be a trend in the area: An alligator was found on a front lawn at a Mastic beach homevlast Friday. And in Brooklyn last week, a 3-foot pet gator was discovered in a couple’s apartment along with loaded guns. (For anyone thinking that having an alligator for a pet in New York City is a great idea, think again: It’s illegal.)

Unfortunately for the pet gator, police were quoted as saying the animal “didn’t look very good” and may have been starved by its owners. It was picked up by the Center for Avian and Exotic Medicine.

Those with knowledge of why the heck so many gators are running amok in Nassau County are asked to contact the Nassau County SPCA, which is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the people responsible for releasing the alligators in the Pathmark lot.

Meanwhile, those two parking lot gators will be sent to a reptile sanctuary in Florida.
