Mystery alligator puzzles Australians | Metro.co.uk: "Finding a crocodile on the Australian south coast is strange. Finding an American alligator there is even stranger.

So police assumed they had a crocodile, a native of Australia's tropical north, when vacationers caught a reptile in a volleyball net late Monday that had been wandering around their campsite in Pambula, New South Wales.

State police on Tuesday corrected an initial press statement to explain that the 5-foot (1.5-meter) reptile was, in fact, an alligator."
