When I was quite young, my sister told me there were alligators in the river near our home. I believed this until, at age 24, I was directing a youth canoe outing on that very river and told them not to get in the water because the alligators would eat them. One bright young fellow informed me that it was way too cold where we were for alligators to thrive in the rivers!
