Well, if it’s a caiman in Florida, then it was also stupidly released into the swamp, as they’re not native there.
I feel a little bit for the guy who is now immortalized as completely ditching his girlfriend to a small crocodilian.

They just pulled a gator out of the harbor in Chicago:

Ah yes. Sorry not a harbor, but a lagoon.
The one from October I guess was swimming around in the lake.
