@MariadB thanks for the info on the mission. I wasn't sure if we could post captive animals. I am glad they were accepted. Thanks again

Thanks for adding the information about where you saw them. You could add this to the Captive Animals mission (http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7973468) and add the scientific name as well: Alligator mississippiensis
