NERD rescues crocodilian

New England Reptile Distributors has agreed to take a caiman, or an alligator, or something, the article is contradictory....
Anyway, this crocodilian was found wandering around on the road in Hudson, New Hampshire. NERD has decided to keep it for educational purposes, as in, "are you sure you want one of these in your house"-type education. I wish that more journalists knew what the hell they were writing about, is it a croc, or a gator?
