The French aristocrat and American hero, the Marquis de Lafayette, gave John Quincy Adams an alligator as a pet. Adams kept it in a bathroom in the White House until he left office in 1829. Adams was also responsible for the first installation in the White House of a pool table, and was the first president to be photographed. His wife was the only foreign First Lady America has ever had. Among his more unusual hobbies, he regularly went skinny dipping in the Potomac river, and he kept silk worms as pets.
