UPDATE: Dedham's safe for granny again: They grabbed the gator.
Channel 5 reports a canoeist spotted a decent-sized gator on a log in the Charles yesterday. With photo to prove it.
So, to recap: We've got coyotes and turkeys up the wazoo, emus running amok, wild parakeets ruling the roost, jellyfish in Walden Pond and a pig rooting around the Commonwealth Avenue Mall. And now an alligator. Maybe the state could make some money by declaring greater Boston a wildlife preserve and putting up admission booths around 128.

They've already identified the crocodilian as male!
Or it could just be the banality of everyday sexism...

First frost, that sucker's deader than a doornail.
By the way, that's not really proof- how do we actually know this photo was taken anywhere but, say, Florida?
Because it had been sighted

Because it had been sighted before and was captured there this morning?

Holy crap.
A favorable gratuitous mention of CraigsList? The Globe must feel bad about skewering CL's pimping sideline.
