Overweight gator rescued from a Coca-Cola plant is put on a diet

An alligator relocated from a Coca-Cola plant in Florida has been put on a diet.

The 9-foot gator was taken to Croc Encounters, where he was discovered to weigh 400 pounds.

"That's a little heavy for that animal," Director John Panner said. Apparently, nearby residents would feed the gator lunch meat and hams. He was even given the nickname "Coca-Cola."

Coca-Cola's new diet should be better suited for him.

"We'll also feed fish, we also feed chicken, we'll do that on a regular basis, and hopefully he'll slim down a bit," Panner added.
