Of course, this trope is entirely fictional and unrealistic. Not only because it relies on AbsurdlySpaciousSewer, itself a fictional and unrealistic trope, but also because there's just plain nothing to ''eat'' in a sewer, and alligators (and crocodilians in general) need to bask in the sun in order to properly digest their food or else it will rot in their stomachs. In addition, the sewers used for this trope are depicted as the sewers under streets and sidewalks. These sewers are used for storm run-off and drainage to prevent flooding. A baby gator flushed down a toilet wouldn't end up there, but would instead go into the water treatment system, where the filters and chemicals found in a water treatment plant would quickly kill it.

Alligators that have been flushed down the toilet [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin will end up living in the sewers down below the streets.]] Most of the time, these alligators can be an example of NeverSmileAtACrocodile. They are sometimes said to be albinos, like many real cave-dwelling creatures, due to living in a mostly lightless environment (even though cave-dwelling albino creatures are that way in real life due to having ''evolved'' to be that way over countless generations). Many fictional works make alligators grow to gigantic proportions or become indestructible killing machines from all the chemicals (often growth and/or rage inducing) found in sewers.
Of course, this trope is entirely fictional and unrealistic. Not only because it relies on AbsurdlySpaciousSewer, itself a fictional and unrealistic trope, but also because there's just plain nothing to ''eat'' in a sewer, alligators (and crocodilians in general) need to bask in the sun in order to properly digest their food or else it will rot in their stomachs. In addition, the sewers used for this trope are depicted as the sewers under streets and sidewalks. These sewers are used for storm run-off and drainage to prevent flooding. A baby gator flushed down a toilet wouldn't end up there, it would instead go into the water treatment system, where the filters and chemicals found in a water treatment plant would quickly kill it.
The alligator-in-the-sewer thing is probably one of the oldest UrbanLegends UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity has.
