If you live in western Tennessee, be on the lookout: A 7-foot alligator was recently spotted in the southwestern part of the state and is the latest of “several confirmed sightings,” wildlife officials warned. Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) personnel recently caught footage of the massive reptile at Wolf River in Feyette County. Spencer said alligators are most likely migrating north because the winters in Tennessee are relatively mild. (In fact, according to TWRA, alligators “can withstand periods of ice by sticking their snout out of the water before it freezes which allows them to continue breathing”). Spencer said the agency has no plans to remove the reptiles and cannot stop their progression into Tennessee.
