I see no point for two distinct pages, especially since both document the same uban legend. A simple redirect would do just fine. Pascal.Tesson 05:25, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Agreed -- merging makes sense here. Fairsing 22:07, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Considering this merge has been uncontested for at least 4 months, but nobody's actually done it yet, I'm going to do it now.Psychonaut3000 20:57, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Caiman in Central Park

Now, this is simply from my personal memory (which I why I'm asking for verification before I start to edit anything), but I remember during a trip to the Central Park Zoo in New York in the late 1990's/Early 2000's there was a Caiman (a reptile related to the crocodile, appearing like a cat-sized alligator) on exhibit in the Zoo, near the children's area, with a panel mentioning alligators and sewers. I vaugely remember my father saying that one of his colleages at work (and, while this may seem deus ex machina, at the time he worked for a news-wire service) that a caiman found it's way into Central Park from the sewers and after being captured by animal control, was put into the Zoo. Any confirmation on this?

Yes, I heard about the caiman, I think his name is "Dayman", not sure. But they said he couldn't have come from the sewers. Why? He was small and could not survive in the sewers and besides, caimans live in South America, not Florida where the legend started. Radical3 16:35, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
