Speaker 4 (00:49):
Everybody knows it's too cold for an alligator there.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
This is a fake news story.
Speaker 2 (00:54):

real news story or a fake news story that is
one hundred percent real.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Staff at the Pine River Motel and Sheboygan, Michigan, were

He was like by Wally?
Speaker 3 (01:22):

Speaker 2 (01:23):
The owners said they believed Wally had escaped into the
wild oh and would eventually be he would reunite with
the alligator.

an alligator onto a plane after claiming it was a
therapy animal.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
What I can't do that.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
While emotional support peacocks and turkeys have made it onto
planes before, there still has not been an emotional support
alligator that's made it on you. Imagine he's sitting next
to someone who's holding a peacock.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I don't love that. Can I pet your peacock? Don't
they like? Mean?

They claimed that.
