In North Carolina, an alligator casually comes for a bagel. A three-foot-long baby alligator entered the closed Bagel Doc Express bakery. The back door was open, and the reptile walked through the kitchen straight to the counter, where it confronted the owner. His reaction was caught on video. The alligator was taken away by police and animal control officers. The bakery responded to the incident with a joke: "The rumors about our bagels have reached the swamp."
