Is that an Alligator in your room?

Three Florida Gulf Coast University students were issued warnings by Wildlife officials after they took a dead alligator to a dorm room and posted pictures of it on social media.  They claimed to have found the reptile dead on the side of the road. Wildlife officers took possession of the carcass and while the school gave the three students warnings for possession of an alligator without proper permits.  What if the alligator was just stunned, like the deer in Tommy Boy?  It would be a bad scene, a very bad scene.
