450-lb. Gator Living Outside Coca-Cola Factory Moved and Put on Diet

 

 

A 450-pound alligator who lived behind a former Florida Coca-Cola plant was moved from his current habitation and put on a diet to lose some weight, according to a Croc Encounters Reptile Park and Alligator Farm Facebook announcement.

On Friday the 9-foot alligator — aptly named Coca-Cola — was removed from Temple Terrace, Fla., after neighbors expressed concern about a damaged fence near the pond the reptile was residing in, Croc Encounters' Karina Paner confirms with PEOPLE.

Karina tells PEOPLE that Coca-Cola was "well over" the standard size of a 9-foot alligator, confirming that an animal that size is "typically around maybe 200 pounds."

She explained that he was in a "small area." The reptile "was not able to really move around as much as maybe a wild alligator that's going out hunting for their food, so all those things contribute to an alligator becoming overweight, like he is."

Coca-Cola was captured by Greg Pollock. The animal was then "immediately" taken to Croc Encounters, and veterinarians agreed to put the 450-pound animal on a diet. "He'll eat fish, we also feed chicken, we'll do that on a regular basis, and hopefully he'll slim down a bit."
