There's a prosthetic for everything

including an alligator's tail.  Mr. Stubs lost his tail to another alligator several years ago.  He's managed to survive but has had a number of problems.  Swimming is difficult and he could not store food as other alligators do - in his tail.  His 'owners', the Phoenix Herpetological Society, decided to create a prosthetic tale for Mr. Stubs.  It took almost a year to make, but the alligator seems pleased.
