as told to me by An ALABAMAiN:
some fur traders saw these and thought they would make nice coats, so they bought a bunch from what ever country, and put em on an Island...of bamma/Louisana...they found that their skin was too thin for fur coats, and left them there...they reached the mainland and have been a pain in the butt ever since...they are slow, dumb, can swim, but not really climb, and the gators love them...
