Some may have heard this phrase and may be wondering what the difference is.
A nuisance alligator is any alligator that is over four feet long.
A prime example of this took place when a nine-foot alligator was discovered at Lake Lewisville back in 2015.
Alligators of this size are believed to pose a threat but they are not spotted on a regular basis.
Since the aforementioned incident, no other nuisance alligators have been spotted.
