See you Later Alligator


HAMILTON, Ohio — After taking a wild ride from a toilet through a wastewater plant, a baby alligator survives and has enough bite left to take a snap at one of his rescuers, according to Cincinnati.com.

"When I got there, he was in a bucket, just kind of sitting there wondering what in the world was going on, and he tried to bite me, as a little ’gator will do," said Damien Oxier, a Butler County man who heads Arrowhead Reptile Rescue, a nonprofit Greater Cincinnati group of volunteers.

Oxier said workers believe this is the best explanation for how the alligator ended up at the plant, stated the article.

The baby alligator passed through a 50-foot-tall mechanical bar rack that removes debris and a mechanized rake, according to the article.
