A drug bust in Virginia surprised police when they found an alligator living in the basement of the house they were searching.

The gator is okay, but can you imagine how the police officers felt when they found an alligator while looking for drugs? I don't think that was what they were really expecting to find.

Maybe you could relate a little more with your fennec fox if you knew that they too, can get love handles.
