SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? Authorities in Northern California made a snappy discovery during a routine probation check: An alligator-like reptile named "Mr. Teeth," who was apparently protecting a stash of marijuana.
When Alameda County Sheriff's deputies entered the Castro Valley home on Tuesday, they not only found 34 pounds of marijuana valued at an estimated $100,000, but also the 5-foot-long caiman inside a Plexiglas tank guarding it in a bedroom.
Caimans are usually found in the wetland regions of Central and South America. They're considered close relatives of alligators.
"We get guard dogs all the time when we search for grow houses and people stashing away all types of dope. But alligators? You just don't see that every day," Sgt. J.D. Nelson said Thursday.
Assif Mayar was arrested on suspicion of possessing marijuana for sale. He could also face citations from the California Fish and Game Commission, including possession of an exotic animal without a permit.
The 32-year-old told deputies he got the creature to commemorate rapper Tupac Shakur's 1996 death.
"We have come across alligators before, but nobody can remember one this big and situated in such close proximity to act sort of as a sentry to the marijuana," Nelson said.
Officials at the Oakland Zoo said Mr. Teeth died Wednesday, a day after it was seized by county animal control officers.
The caiman was very sick when it arrived at the zoo's veterinary hospital, zoo spokesman Nicky Mora said Thursday.
"The veterinarian said he came in with a poor prognosis and was unresponsive when he arrived here. He passed away overnight," Mora said.

UNIONIST political leaders in Northern Ireland have indicated a willingness to talk directly with the loyalist paramilitaries involved in orchestrating the violence associated with the Union flag protests.
STORMONT First Minister and Democratic Unionist leader Peter Robinson and Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt stressed the importance of inclusivity in their bid to find an alternative to the ongoing street demonstrations.
Northern Ireland's Chief Constable Matt Baggott has blamed members of the paramilitary Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) for directing the rioting linked to the dispute that has erupted in east Belfast.
Mr Nesbitt and Mr Robinson today chaired a special meeting of unionist and loyalist representatives to discuss the flag row and other issues of concern within that section of the community.
The Unionist Forum at Stormont was convened in response to the controversy sparked by Belfast City Council's decision to limit the number of days the flag flies over City Hall.
Mr Robinson said the meeting witnessed "the most representative group within the unionist community to meet probably in half a century".
Loyalists have held protests across Northern Ireland in the six weeks since the vote by Belfast council, with a number ending in violence. East Belfast has seen the worst of the disorder, with six successive nights of rioting in the new year.
The forum was attended by members of the loyal orders, community leaders and some paramilitary representatives.
During the inaugural meeting, attendees agreed to set up a task force to engage with the wider unionist/loyalist community.
Asked if the task force would engage with loyalist paramilitaries involved in the riots, Mr Robinson said: "We will talk to anyone who wants to talk to us about how we can move forward in an exclusively peaceful and democratic manner - that's the way forward for Northern Ireland and that's the basis upon which we would be talking."
The First Minister said if politicians were to convince others that the constitutional route was the only one to take, they had to talk to them.
"I don't think logically I could do anything other than if I am a constitutional politician, to convince people that that is the way forward, that they should give up violence, that they should not be involved in violence, that this is the way to do it - that's the job of constitutional politicians. There is a better way, this is a better way.
"Never before have people within the unionist community had the opportunity of all of their representatives, no matter what their viewpoint might be, to be in the one room looking at a common agenda and moving forward in that direction - this is quite unique, this is something that no one has seen for decades in Northern Ireland and I think it gives us immense opportunities to take the unionist community forward in a cohesive group."
Mr Nesbitt said: "The lesson of the last 15 years is that the only thing that works, the only thing that sticks, is inclusive dialogue. And I understand the media asking questions about will you be talking to quote unquote 'loyalist paramilitaries' but I think you also understand that people with that sort of past look at what's up here (Parliament Buildings), look at who goes into that (Assembly) chamber to represent republicanism (Sinn Fein) and they see frankly a hypocrisy and they think one side is being picked on while the other's being celebrated."
The forum also agreed to set up eight working groups to focus on a series of issues of concern within the loyalist community.

For those about to rock out (in direct sunlight, at least), Eton won't just salute you, but offer you more options for your environmentally-friendly moshing. At this year's CES, it's launching two more solar-powered Bluetooth boomboxes to compliment the Rukus that arrived at 2012's show. The Rugged Rukus offers the same hardware as the flagship, but wrapped in a sturdy IPX-4 shell that'll keep it safe from knocks and splashes. It's also trotting out the Rukus XL, a not-too-distant cousin of the old Soulra XL iPod dock, which ditches the e-ink display in favor of a chunky, triangular body, flip-out solar panel and six more speaker drivers. The Rugged Rukus will arrive in Q1 and will cost $99.99, and the Rukus XL setting you back $199.99 when it arrives in Q2.

One of the neat things about CES is that it gives us a chance to check in with startups we covered the previous year. In the case of, Tobii, twelve months makes a world of difference. When we met with the company last January, it had never publicly shown off its eye-tracking Gaze UI, which allowed us to navigate, zoom, select and scroll on a custom Windows 8 laptop with just our pupils and a touchpad. After playing with it, it was obvious to us the technology still needed some fine-tuning, but nonetheless Tobii promised it would have a product to sell in about a year's time.
Fast forward twelve months: Intel now owns a 10 percent stake in the company, and Tobii recently started shipping its first piece of hardware, the REX. This small USB peripheral, just slightly thicker than a pen, attaches to the base of any computer display, allowing it to bring eye-tracking technology to any Windows 8 machine. For now, it's only available to developers for a price of $995, but Tobii expects to ship 5,000 consumer units by the end of 2013. Happily for us, though, we got to play with it here at CES 2013. Meet us after the break to see how the technology's grown up since we tried it out it a year ago, and stay tuned for a demo video!
