alligators

UPDATE: Dedham's safe for granny again: They grabbed the gator.

Channel 5 reports a canoeist spotted a decent-sized gator on a log in the Charles yesterday. With photo to prove it.

So, to recap: We've got coyotes and turkeys up the wazoo, emus running amok, wild parakeets ruling the roost, jellyfish in Walden Pond and a pig rooting around the Commonwealth Avenue Mall. And now an alligator. Maybe the state could make some money by declaring greater Boston a wildlife preserve and putting up admission booths around 128.
