In one of the US zoos, a 36-year-old alligator named Thibodeaux became a patient of emergency surgery. The reason for this was 70 coins that visitors threw into his enclosure. Mail.ru reports this with reference to NDTV.
Veterinarians were able to successfully remove all foreign objects from the crocodile's stomach. The operation went without complications, and Thibodeau is now undergoing rehabilitation.
The zoo drew visitors' attention to the fact that throwing coins and other objects into the animals' enclosures is dangerous. This can lead to serious health problems in animals.
After restoration, Thibodeau will once again delight visitors with its appearance.
