A man in Florida is facing charges of aggravated assault after allegedly throwing an alligator into a fast-food restaurant.



Joshua James, 23, has been accused of tossing the live animal through a drive-thru window at a Wendy's restaurant.

His mother reportedly said he wanted to play a practical joke on his friend, who worked at the place.

The animal was captured and released back into the wild.

Mr James, from Jupiter, Florida, had found the alligator on the side of a road and lured it into the back of his truck, according to an incident report by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, cited by local broadcaster WPTV.

He then went to the restaurant in Royal Palm Beach, where he placed an order at the drive-thru window, received a drink and threw the 3ft (1m) long animal through the opening, the report said.

The incident happened in October but the suspect has only now been taken into custody.

He also reportedly faces charges of unlawful possession and transportation of an alligator.

His mother, Linda James, told WPTV his action was a "stupid prank".

The TV station posted a photo of the alligator - taken from the incident report - on Twitter.

I usually maintained my amused observer status during the most stupid of our high jinx....

A. One will see you later, and the other will see you in a while.

Alligators have a rounded, shovel-nosed snout; a crocodile's snout is more V-shaped.
Although personally, I don't think I'd take the time and effort to get close enough to compare.

That's my type of obscure humor. I didn't know you had it in you.

No, it's about 3 1/2 inches short of a metre.

Inches are an English unit of measurement, and meters are a French unit of measurement, for those of you poor unfortunates who do not have their own unit of measurement.

Baby Dolphin Dies After Tourists Pass It Around For Selfies
February 18, 2016 7:42 AM

A rare baby dolphin has died on the beach after selfish tourists pulled it from the ocean so they could take selfies with it.

Shocking footage from Santa Teresita beach in Buenos Aires, Argentina, shows the body of the marine mammal lying motionless on the floor as dozens of people surround it.

The Franciscana dolphin had been passed around between sun worshippers while they took out their phones and posed for pictures.

It was then dumped on the side to die from dehydration and overheating from exposure to the sun.

A spokesperson for the Argentine Wildlife Foundation (AWF) condemned the actions of the tourists.

They said: “This serves to inform the public about the urgent necessity to return these dolphins to the sea as soon as possible.”

The footage sparked fury from viewers, many taking to Twitter to vent their anger at the actions of those on the beach.

The Franciscana dolphin is listed as a ‘vulnerable’ species as there are just 30,000 left on the planet and are only found in the southeastern parts of South America.

The SWF spokesperson added: ”It is fundamental that people help to rescue these animals, because every Franciscana counts now.“
