Workers at a Michigan motel got quite the surprise when they stumbled upon a three-foot-long alligator that had been left behind by its seemingly absent-minded handler. According to a local media report, the weird discovery occurred on Friday morning at the Pine River Motel in Cheboygan as staff set about turning down a room that had been used the previous evening. The normally routine task took an unexpected turn when one of the cleaning crew looked under the bed and came face to face with the sizeable reptile that they later learned was named Wally.
