veterinarians at a zoo in omaha, nebraska, found some unusual objects in an alligator stomach.ed 70 coins during a routine an x-ray exam, the 36 year old gator underwent a procedure last week to remove them before they could cause any health issues. the gator has now fully recovered from that procedure. the coins most likely came from zoo visitors, and the zoo is now asking visitors to please not throw coins into water. exhibits and into the habitats. >> okay, well, in this ktvu idea of the day, we asked ai microsoft designer to imagine an alligator piggy bank. okay, the right way to do this. and here's what it came up with. could be a good fundraiser item for the zoo gift shop though their gator was already collecting donations. the 5:00 news is coming up in just a inut i love you want to see who we are as americans? i'm peter dixon and in kenya... we built a hospital that provides maternal care. as a marine... we fought against the taliban and their crimes against women. and in hillary clinton's state department... we took on gender-based violence in the congo. now extremists
