When people visit the zoo, they frequently throw food at the caged animals for amusement, and as they eat, the visitors remember the experience. However, a strange incident was recorded at the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium in Omaha, Nebraska.
Thibodaux, a 36-year-old alligator, suffered from a condition discovered by zoo experts. Following a regular examination by authorities last week, odd things were removed from the gator’s stomach.
They discovered a total of 70 coins ingested by the alligator. Zoo officials sighed with satisfaction when they disclosed that the coins had been safely removed and that the animal was unharmed.
A veterinarian, Dr. Christina Ploog, believed that the coins were presumably hurled into the alligator’s habitat by tourists.
