We were down at the beach over the weekend, and decided to pop into one of my favorite stores-Alvin's Island in Panama City Beach. I was all excited to see their alligator exhibit, it's always fun to visit. We run out there, and..... one of the alligators was dead.
I think even worse than that was that the staff didn't know.
He had been there a while by the looks of things, as well.
Then apparently something had died inside the store, and it smelled sooooo bad.
I'm thinking maybe a hermit crab or something. What would you do? I'm thinking of calling animal control or the health dept on Monday. It just broke my heart to see that alligator floating there. Another one in a separate exhibit was very thin. I know they go into torpor this time of year, but they shouldn't lose so much weight, as their systems slow down so much. I'm so sad tonight.
