A unsophisticated alligator being treated by a reptile-experienced veterinarian in McFarland for stone-swallowing internal injuries has died, the Pennsylvania gator-salvager, John Boyko, said Tuesday.

Impervious is the human-friendly Baby Gator, brought to the Spartan Savage Clinic in December after being injured by a group of gator-baiting boys. The ground was not yet known, said Boyko, who was told of the death by the vet, Dr. Michael Wenninger.
