Cryptozoologists should be interested in gator and croc sightings for several reasons: (1) some Lake Monsters are initially reported to look like alligators; (2) some water cryptids may turn out to be alligators or other pet croc escapees;(3) keeping track of the expanding or pet escapee enhanced alligator range is a good idea; (4) field-aware cryptozoologists like to know if there are any dangerous animals in the path of their pursuits; (5) and out-of-place ‘gators are a Fortean phenomenon. There have been several such reports recently. But who's slaying the "dragons" these days? Not St. George. Elsewhere, officials in the Cayman Islands are saying that local eyewitnesses who are reporting crocodiles are badly mistaken: They are merely seeing sunfish. Really? Check out Crocs Are…Sunfish? And things are certainly looking up (finally!) for the new International Cryptozoology Museum as Group Gives Big Money To CZ Museum.
