Sewer alligator stories date back to the late 1920s and early 1930s; in most instances they are part of contemporary legend. They are based upon reports of alligator sightings in rather unorthodox locations, in particular New York City. The New York Times reports the city rescues 100 alligators per year, some directly from homes where they are kept as illegal pets (which can be legally ordered online in other states and are legal to mail when small), and some from outside (where they can attract considerable attention) though mostly above-ground.

  • Las leyendas urbanas sobre cocodrilos en las alcantarillas se remontan a finales de la década de 1920 e inicios de la década de 1930; en la mayoría de casos son parte de una leyenda urbana contemporánea. Se basan en relatos de observaciones de caimanes en ubicaciones bastantes inusuales, especialmente en la ciudad de Nueva York. (es)
  • Der Großstadtmythos vom Krokodil im Kanal oder Kanalligator ist eine weit verbreitete Geschichte, nach der Krokodile oder Alligatoren in den Abwässerkanälen leben sollen, nachdem sie angeblich aus Zoos entwichen sind oder als Haustiere gehalten und dann von ihren Besitzern die Toilette heruntergespült wurden. Die gesteigerte Form ist der Mythos der weißen Alligatoren, einer Albinopopulation von Alligatoren, in der New Yorker Kanalisation. Besonders in den USA, aber auch in Europa, ist dieser Mythos weit verbreitet. Weißer Alligator dient auch als Kennzeichnung für moderne Mythen. (de)
  • Krokodiloak estoldetan bizi daitezkeela hiri kondaira ezagunetariko bat da. Lehenengo aipamenak 1920ko hamarkadakoak dira eta zenbait kasutan oinarri erreala izan dezakete, hau da, ohikoak ez diren tokietan aurkitutako krokodiloen aurkikuntzarena. Gehienetan New York aipatzen da gertakarien hiria bezala eta agertutako espeziea aligatorra da. (eu)
  • La presenza di alligatori nelle fogne delle metropoli, in particolare di New York, è una leggenda metropolitana tipicamente nordamericana diffusasi a partire dagli anni 1920. Secondo i sostenitori di questa leggenda, che si rifanno a supposte prove e testimonianze, gli alligatori avrebbero costituito piccole comunità negli impianti fognari di diverse metropoli, perfino nell'antichità a Costantinopoli.

  • 하수구 악어는 1920년대에서 1930년대 초까지 유행한 이야기로 도시전설 중 하나다. 이는 뉴욕 시에서 앨리게이터가 발견되었다는 이야기를 바탕으로 만들어졌다. (ko)
  • 下水道のワニ(Sewer alligator)は、アメリカ合衆国各地で1920年代後半から1930年代前半にまで遡る、下水道にワニが棲んでいるという噂話であり、多くは都市伝説の一部となっている。これらの話の元は、特にニューヨーク市など、通常は棲息していないと思われる場所でワニが目撃されたという報告に基づくものである。 (ja)
  • De rioolalligators is een broodjeaapverhaal over mensenetende alligators in het riool dat waarschijnlijk in de jaren twintig van de twintigste eeuw in de Verenigde Staten is ontstaan. (nl)
  • Крокодилы в канализации (англ. sewer alligator) — популярная в США городская легенда об огромных крокодилах или аллигаторах, живущих в старинных канализационных системах больших городов и, в особенности, в Нью-Йорке. (ru)
  • 下水道的鱷魚,是世界上其中非常流行和知名的都市傳奇之一,源於真實事件,傳說主要描述成為人們寵物的小鱷魚,長得太大無法再當寵物養時,不負責任的主人將之沖入馬桶中,然後一直住在下水道內。 然而現實中,鱷魚不容易生活於不見天日的城市下水道中;鱷魚為冷體動物,無法自行調節體溫,變溫動物是没有体内调温系统的動物。一般体温不平,或者以行动来调节体温。但由於溫帶地區使用後的熱廢水亦會排入下水道中,繁殖期也因此比较短,讓鱷魚可以活動生長。 (zh)
