A wildlife officer in America decided to bring an alligator into his daughter's school, but it ended up escaping and heading to the local pond for a drink.
Annova reports thatr Dave Brady came under much scrutiny when he decided to bring a five foot alligator into his daughter's school for a show and tell. Dave Brady had only just captured the alligator and thought it would provide a good educational speach for children in the school.
The alligator's mouth was taped shut and the class were impressed. The school in Florida enjoyed the speach, but it was when Dave Brady tried to get the alligator in his truck that things went wrong. The alligator headed for a local pond and has not been captured since. Stan Kirkland who is the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman has told people to be on the look out for the alligator.
