Indiana animal sanctuary’s lacking alligator recovered in neighborhood retention pond
A 3-foot-long alligator that went lacking from the Indiana Wild animal sanctuary three weeks in the past was recovered after being noticed in a close-by neighborhood retention pond, the nonprofit introduced Thursday.
The alligator, Bert, is an envoy for Woodburn-based Indiana Wild, together with his likeness centered within the brand of the header on the nonprofit’s Facebook web page. Indiana Wild Manager Beth Woods defined how the group bought Bert again in a video on stated Facebook web page.
“We got the call today, it took about an hour to catch him. … He came up, grabbed a [frozen] mouse from me, just couldn’t get him close enough,” Ms. Woods defined — one other individual, with assistance from a web, ultimately helped her extricate Bert from the retention pond.
