The
head of an Ohio reptile rescue group said a baby alligator was lucky to
survive being flushed down a toilet and brought to the city’s
wastewater plant. Damien Oxier of Butler County, who heads the
non-profit Arrowhead Reptile Rescue, said the foot-long baby was the
first he knew of in the area to survive being flushed down a toilet in
his 20 years on the job. Oxier, whose group rescues dozens of alligators
per year, said the baby alligator survived being flushed as well as the
water treatment plant’s “mechanical bar rack” and a “mechanized rake,”
which sent the gator to the first floor dumpster where he was found.
Oxier said the gator will be taken to a foster home for about a year
before being transferred to a reptile rescue facility.
