:-) Not in Iowa. An alligator would be unable to survive the cold
winters of Iowa and would certainly die if his body of water froze over.
Most of the alligator population lives in Florida and southern
Louisiana but there are gators in the southeast coastal states from
Texas to North Carolina. Here in Florida I can find a gator by walking
about 100 meters to the creek. While they certainly exist elsewhere
I've never seen one elsewhere.
The distance from Joel to the nearest place reported to have alligators
(extreme southeast tip of Oklahoma) is about 600 miles.
