Why am I suddenly reminded of an old Saturday Night Live skit:

On Penny Creek Drive in Bluffton, South Carolina, there was a knock, knock, but it was no joke. In a matter of moments, amateur photographer Richard Holinski ripped off the pictures that tell the story. A wayward 6-foot alligator was seemingly trying to ring the doorbell at a neighbor's home.

And here I thought all this time that only Florida had to worry about alligators.
