Baby Alligator Found In Small Aquarium At Restaurant

Nandhini sent me the photos below at midnight last night. �Apparently, a restaurant in USJ is keeping a baby alligator (or crocodile) in a small aquarium. A quick check reveals that this species is protected and it may be breaking the law to keep this poor animal in a small aquarium.

Nandhini has called the Wildlife Crime Hotline at 019-3564194 but was told that this case belongs under the Tiger Alliance and they cannot take any action. They will forward the report to the Wildlife Department when the offices re-opens on Wednesday but it would depend on their workload.

If any of you know how or what we can do to save this poor animal, please leave a comment here.

This poor fellow does not belong in an aquarium.
