Are there alligators in new Orleans?

No, there is no thriving colony of alligators -- albino or not -- living in the New York City sewers. This extremely popular urban legend seems to have originated from a few isolated incidents in the 1920s and 1930s. From the snopes.com page, "Alligators in New York Sewers":

September 4, 1927: "A 'good-sized Florida alligator' found in a storm-swollen stream in Middleton, NY. 'It was later discovered that the alligator had escaped several months ago from a pan on the premises of Dr. F.E. Fowler.'"

February 10, 1935: "Boys shoveling snow into a manhole discovered a 6-foot gator trying to make his escape from the sewer. The boys lassoed the sickly saurian and dragged him up to street level. Because the gator snapped at the kids (and thus convinced them he could indeed be dangerous) they attacked him with shovels and killed him. Speculation was the gator had fallen off a passing steamer, swum to shore and found the entrance to the sewer."

June 1, 1937: "A barge captain captures a 4-foot alligator in the East River. The gator 'was clearly exhausted and seemed in no humor to fight.'"
