SAN FRANCISCO. Animal transportation worker Rick Cleveland says he has no problem transporting alligators around the United States despite their hostile demeanor.
Cleveland, who delivered an American alligator to a San Francisco aquarium this week, said delivering the potentially deadly reptiles poses a much more substantial risk that animals like bears or lions, The San Francisco Chronicle said Wednesday.
"I won't do giraffes," he said. "I won't do elephants. I won't do rhinos... Lions, tigers, bears -- those are a piece of cake."
But the fact he is open to transporting alligators makes Cleveland a rare commodity in the delivery world nationwide.
"There's not many people who do it," Cleveland told the Chronicle. "For obvious reasons."
Nonetheless, Cleveland said the ideal journey with the typically intimidating beasts is one that is "boring."
"You try not to have any problems ... we just want it to be real boring," he told the newspaper.
