Alligators Under New York!!!!

You've heard the stories, but I now have proof! There are alligators under New York City. I surreptitiously snapped this picture this morning on the N train, Northbound between the Canal Street and Union Square Stations.

Like all such spottings, the photo is a little blurry. I didn't want to attract attention by using the flash, and risk startling other riders, as well as the alligator. See for yourself:

Just beyond the gentleman reading the Chinese language newspaper, a modern-day Crocodile Dundee is casually subduing a small alligator. Look closer:

Look at those sharp, uh, blurry teeth!

Even in New York City, this is something we do not often see on the subway.
