Alligator stands on hind legs
Daigooro is an alligator that stands upright when doused with water. He lives at Marine Plaza Miyajima in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. From Mainichi Daily News:
Link (Thanks, Paul Saffo!)The 80-centimeter-long male alligator was first spotted standing up about two years ago, when water that a keeper poured on plants in his cage splashed on him...
From this year, Daigoro, a three-year-old dwarf caiman alligator from South America, has been entertaining visitors by performing the stand-up show every noon when a keeper pours water on it.

I, for one, would like to welcome our new alligator overlords...
Stop eating alligators! Get Geico!
This standing animal tastes like chicken.
Imagine the corporate possibilities...
I would stand up if someone poured water on me, too.
Here's hoping it doesn't grow thumbs when some other common liquid is poured on it. Pepsi, maybe?
It's a dog in an alligator suit.
Alligator stories always make me think of Steve Irwin (RIP). Imagine the wrestling match they could have had!
Just don't feed him after midnight.

This reminds me of something Japanese noise artist Merzbow wrote about Minazo, the elephant seal who died in 2005 and was the inspiration for the bucket-pining lolrus, as well as a two volume album by Merzbow. This is what Merzbow wrote in his liner notes for Minazo vol.1.
Dammit, #2 beat me to the punch.
maybe when the water hits his head and back with the force of being poured, it presses on a nerve damaged by rough human handling and causes incredible pain -making him rear up.
Yes, the alligator was "almost raped" and lives in misery because of mistreatment at the hands of man. What an uplifting worldview
is he standing because he likes it, or because he doesn't like it? he needs to be more clear...
Maybe Daigoro is just trying to see over the top of his heavily armed Baby Cart.
And I, for one, welcome our new reptilian overl...
Dammit, #13 beat me to the punch saying #2 beat me to the punch.
We're a totally meme-controlled species, aren't we? :) No wonder the alligators are taking over.
Quick! Somebody get him a pink pork-pie hat and a white collar!

Feh. Splash Mountain is filled with alligators who stand on their hind legs. And wear hats. I think some sing, as well.
Reminds me of the children's book by Leo Lionni, Cornelius, which is about a crocodile who is shunned because he could stand upright. http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/8409888&tab=details
How do we know it's not stuffed? The people demand video!

Yeah, poor alligator. We all know how much alligators hate water.
