  1. I lost my virginity here…

  2. The guy who stole the alligator might be already passed away.

  3. See you later alligator… 20 years later. With the price of eggs I can understand why the volunteer took one, but he waited a bit to long to make an alligator omelet. But really, who would want to keep something like that as a pet for 20 years? That's not Fluffy the cat.

  4. I can relate. Itโ€™s hard to go home again. You can see from its expression that the gator has mixed feelings about the whole thing.

  5. ahhhh maybe the Zoo should return the Alligator back to nature were they got it from.

  6. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ’ฅMust read :- " how I transitioned from a certified lunatic DemoRat to a healthy high testosterone alpha conservative STRAIGHT WHITE MALE. Absolute bliss. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‘

  7. How would you know it's the same one?

  8. WHAT?!?! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

  9. We know where the gator is. Where is the news anchor?

  10. At least they didnโ€™t throw it into the Comal River.

  11. They took it from a sweet old lady who had been properly taking care of it as you can see because she didn't have a permit and it would only be legal if she was educating with the gator. So sad and stupid . Poor lady

  12. How do they even know it was stolen if it was stolen as an egg?

  13. Is there a statute of limitations on gatornapping?

  14. Russian cannibals executed an unarmed Ukrainian soldier who, in the face of death, said Glory to Ukraine. Tell the world about this war crime.

  15. No reports on the newly released videos from January 6th?

  16. WHO returned it? The theif or was it confiscated by police and then returned?

  17. So who steals an alligator ๐ŸŠ?
    Being from Louisiana, and having seen a baby alligator in 3rd grade classroom, was a learning experience. The family had to return their new pet shortly after this show and tell.
