I did'nt know they had gators in Arizona! Perhaps that little feller will do ok, but it sounds like war has been declared on him.
I had folks tell me there's lots of frogs in the canals out there, and they used to gig'em when they were kids. If they don't catch him, he may have plenty to eat.
I also heard somebody spotted a skunkape years back, near I-10 in Goodyear.
Think it was about the same time my brother was passing through them parts!
