Reports on this forum had Elvis trying to escape from the set several times. Maybe he was able to escape one day. I wouldn't of gotten in his way that's for sure.

COOPER&BURNETT Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I don't know where he is, but I thought I heard he was in Florida in an Alligator park, or a park of former animal tv / movie / commerical former stars.I'm pretty certain he wasn't released.

cageyJG Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Just remember, if you're ever being chased by one of these giant reptiles, alligators have a sharper nose that looks more like the shape of the letter "A", and crocs have a broader snout that I guess looks more like a "C."Then you will be able to tell what you're being chased by.Also, I was told in 4th grade that you're being chased by either, that they can't exactly turn on a dime so it's good to run zig-zags until you can get away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT Long Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I'm no expert but a trained alligator owned by a film studio would seem to be in short supply. Only way I can see them getting rid of Elvis is if PETA,etc turned the screws and then one of us would have noticed it in the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alligator has the broader snout. And or more reluctant to attack a human. Crocs have the sharp nose, are usually bigger and less discriminating dinners.

jurassic narc Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I'm no expert but a trained alligator owned by a film studio would seem to be in short supply.There are no TRAINED alligators. Which is why it is very dangerous to feed them in the wild. They have a brain the size of a walnut, and will begin to associate the human form with a food supply. Elvis was chained down and sometimes not happy about it(as evident by his first appearance in Brother's Keeper) . For most of the time his mouth was taped shut.I know Georgia Department of Natural Resources Rangers who have to deal with them. They are VERY primitive creatures and up close they are VERY scary.

girtablilu Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Here's what I've been able to find online...One article from 1985 tells that there were actually 2 alligators used on the show, Elvis and Presley, both owned by George Harwell. It also explains that they were rented out to the producers of the show, but lived at Flamingo Gardens:http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1985-10-02/news/8502110501_1_elvis-lives-alligator-miami-viceNext an article from 1988:http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1988-09-01/features/8802200353_1_elvis-lives-gators-lizardIt tells about his "escape" and that he made $250 an hour.Then that Gator World in Davie (part of Flamingo Gardens) closed around 1990, and Elvis was "evicted" as seen in this article:http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1990-03-13/news/9001290192_1_zoo-animals-elvisThis article from 1992 explains what happened after Gator World closed:http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1992-03-26/news/9201300535_1_animals-hot-tub-alligator..."Harwell did not want to give up his animals when Gator World closed, so he kept the business going, housing the animals at his Davie nursery."Then I found this from just a few days ago, but I'm not sure how accurate it is:http://www.fark.com/comments/7124422/Worried-about-thieves-stealing-your-pot-stash-Easy-solution-invest-in-a-pair-of-guard-alligators"About 1999-2000, at about 9 feet long, Elvis' owner needed him gone. He wound up in our pit where, within a few short months, he was killed by a larger gator. In short, Elvis did not know/understand our alligators' social hierarchy and it cost him. Minus a few mementos, he's mostly buried in the same place."Lastly another article from 2011:from http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2011-07-09/news/fl-cn-gator-0710-20110709_1_pet-alligator-baby-alligator-michael-ruggieriIt states, in part:"...Don Johnson's pet alligator Elvis on "Miami Vice" was from Flamingo Gardens. The original Elvis is buried on the property, but the attraction has a male alligator named Elvis III." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D. Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 I live in Florida and I'm not interested whether it's a croc or gator.....I'm out of there. Florida has mostly alligators. Crocodiles are not native to Fl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
