American Alligator Exhibit

Aug. 5th, 2014.
Builder: "hmm, do you think alligators need water?"
Exhibit designer: "Water? Don't be ridiculous! all animals need are red steel cages with woodchips on the ground. Aquatic just means they need small containers with a bit of water. Do that for the alligators and the capybaras and you know what make all exhibits the same tiny red steel boxes with woodchips on the ground and make sure all exhibits are as small as possible"

This is a joke but the exhibits are really terrible.
 
this really is just like "why is the bowl of water there?" What use is that to the alligator?
 
If you guys click on the photo and then on "original" you can zoom in and see that somewhat amazingly there is an alligator curled up inside the tiny bowl of water. This "exhibit" is a complete travesty.

As you can see, there is a pool in the exhibit-who said, it is necessary for alligators to bath all feet, the tail, the head and the body AT THE SAME TIME ?:D

You are right, but surely that must be a much smaller specimen than the larger one - or its an optical illusion!!?

I never would have spotted that, that must be the only contortionist alligator in existence! A pitiful existence for any animal!
