Officials in a North Carolina county said a 500-pound alligator killed for eating a resident's dog will be displayed at a museum.
Onslow County spokeswoman Lisa Whitman-Grice said the reptile, which was killed by police using a high-powered rifle Wednesday, will be displayed at the Onslow County Environmental Education Center and Library, which is expected to open this November or December, WNCT-TV, Greenville, N.C., reported Friday.
"If we see these animals and can learn from them, then that makes it all that more important to care for them," said Whitman-Grice.
Whitman-Grace said the taxidermy process on the alligator is expected to take 10 months to a year.
CBS News reported the alligator ate a Husky Tuesday in Jacksonville while the dog's owner was walking it without a leash.
Personally I think they should also acquire a taxidermied dog to place in the taxidermied alligator's mouth, for that necessary bit of verisimilitude. Probably scare the kids, though.
