Gator mailed to Colo. greets postal workersDenver Post, Nov. 11.2003A 4-foot alligator bound for Colorado chewed its way out of a shipping carton at a Milwaukee post office on Friday. "It had bit through the corner of the box, and the nose... was sticking out with its teeth hanging out," postal employee Jennifer Hejdak said. A postal worker was able to pick it up by the tail and toss it into hamper. Eventually, it will be shipped to a Florida sanctuary. Milwaukee station WTMJ-TV re ported Friday night that a Marquette University student mailed the alligator. He told a reporter that he had the creature at his residence for about a week before deciding that it had to go. Its exact destination was unclear Saturday. The Postal Service does allow alligators to be sent through the mail if they are longer than 20 inches. Copyright © 1998 - 2006, Colorado Herpetological Society. All rights reserved. | ||
