Notes

In one scene after Murdock finds a baby Alligator,he is told to put the baby gator back,as its Mother will surely be looking for it.Murdock says that once an Alligator is born,it is on it's own.Really?,I always thought that,it was the baby Tuttle that was on its own.I thought that Mother Alligator took care of their young.Perhaps both are (in a way) correct?
