Two separate incidents involving alligators made headlines recently. In Granite Falls, Washington, a 10-foot alligator was spotted near the Pilchuck River, prompting local deputies to monitor its movements as capturing the animal is currently not a priority. Meanwhile, Marty Welch and his wife encountered dozens of alligators while boating in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in Georgia. Video footage shows the couple navigating through alligator-infested waters, highlighting the reptiles' congregation due to low water levels and abundant food sources. Both situations underscore the unexpected sightings of exotic wildlife in areas not typically associated with such animals.
