Alligator sneaks into Iranian gas facility “no man zone”

Alligator-iran-gas

Hey, it says ‘no man’, not ‘no alligator’ says this crocodilian creature caught on film by security at an Iranian gas production facility this month. It climbed onto a gas rig in Southern Iran, in search of food, say local personnel.

It was led back to the swamp.

Unlike in Canada, where police went crazy over a wild bear in Newmarket, Ontario, Iranians do not shoot scary wild animals, unless of course they are hunting for sport.
