JAKARTA - Zoo visitors should obey the rules and prohibitions made by the management for safety, especially for animals in the zoo, as well as the visitors themselves.

The actions of visitors are thought to have caused a rare alligator at the mire zoo, Nebraska, United States to receive emergency action last week, because his stomach was filled with dozens of coins.

A total of 70 metal coins were found and removed from the stomach of Thibodaux, a 36-year-old alligator, according to the Zoo and Aquarium Henry Doorly.

"A plastic pipe was installed to protect its mouth and safely pass through tools used to access coins, such as cameras that help us guide the retrieval of these objects," veterinarian Christina Ploog said in a statement from the zoo.

The zoo said the coins were found during routine examinations of the animals. Luckily, all the coins were successfully removed.

Meanwhile, drh. Ploog believes the coins are thought to have been thrown into the animal's habitat by visitors.

"Guests should not throw coins into any waters at the Zoo," the zoo said in a statement.

The famous zoo has 10 American alligators, and Thibodaux is a rare legucistic alligator, which has clear white skin and dark blue eyes, according to the Audubon Nature Institute.

Last year, a very rare, very cute, leucistic alligator was born intensiveland in Orlando, Florida.

It is known, the alligator is an object that attracts the attention of many people, both in zoos and in the wild.

Although its reputation is deadly and its population reaches millions in the Southeast, attacks on humans are rare enough. And, deaths from these attacks are even rarer.
