Yeah, yeah, that's what the NC alligators do when they encounter a day or two of the chill. Chicago and alligators won't mix well. Wink

Denver had an alligator in a pond near I-70. It was reported for a few years.
Those that reported it were treated as though they had reported a UFO.
It was finally captured.

I noticed that that article does not mention if it's handbags for Chance, or a cushy zoo life.

Ended up calling in an expert from.....Florida. Who nabbed Chance in no time.

that's a little plaid ribbon around his neck. he dressed up for the press conference.

quote:
The male, 5-foot-3 alligator weighing about 30 or 40 pounds, was captured around 1:30 a.m. at the northwest side of the lagoon, officials said. New alligator trapper Frank Robb, who was brought in over the weekend to replace a volunteer trapper, spotted him hiding in the lily pads.

When Robb saw the alligator, the animal went down and spoke a little “crocodilian." Robb cast hooks at the animal with a fishing pole and caught him.

“The second I put my hands on him, the hook fell out,” Robb said.

The animal “put up a little fight,” was unharmed, Robb said.

Robb joked that when he’s asked how he catches alligators, he says “just barely.”

Robb had while he had little sleep overnight, the alligator “was exhausted too, I’m sure.”

Asked to imitate the alligator’s noise when it “vocalized,” Robb said “that’s a trade secret buddy, I’m sorry.”

Are they going to put him in detention and make him drink out of the toilet?

The guy who caught Chance is throwing out the opening pitch at the Cubs game tonight.

Do we know how to make people feel at home, or what?

A very respectable opening pitch.

And he got to turn on Buckingham Fountain this morning. And Lou Malnati's treated him to pizza. And he went on the Ferris wheel at Navy Pier.

Chance is heading to a sanctuary in Florida. Robb will get to seem him on a regular basis.
