Poor old Rex had arthritis so badly in his jaw that he could only open his mouth about an inch, but owner Steve “Doc” Hopkins said people still needed to exercise caution after the reptile turned up missing.

The alligator Rex is among a menagerie of exotic animals living on the property of Doc's Harley-Davidson in Bonduel, about 30 miles northwest of Green Bay. The place is home to other alligators, a kangaroo, camels, birds, tortoises and more-common farm animals such as horses and pigs.
