I liked the part about those crocs moving north from Texas. :lol:
I did see Alligator among the Sabal in southern OK, just across the Red River from Texas. So, not much has changed.

As long as they don't keep moving north.

Poor beggars during the Southern cold this spring :?
So, not much has changed.
I think they were more widely distributed in those days...

Ugh! :evil4:
