Alligators live in the hot, swampy south: Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi. They can’t survive Michigan winters.

Alligators that have grown too big and become too dangerous for others to handle are being shipped to an alligator sanctuary in Michigan.

It may be legal for a pet store to sell alligators in your city but if you take one home, could you get in trouble?

There is a thriving market for pet alligators in Michigan and many of the reptiles end up abandoned when they start to get too big.

Abandoned alligators are being found more often in Michigan.

It’s hard to believe this is all happening right here in Metro Detroit.

A Florida man was bitten by an alligator after apparently mistaking it for a dog in the middle of the night.
