First the Cougar - Now an Alligator Found in Chicago!

 A five foot long alligator was found in Bubbly Creek this afternoon. Bubbly Creek is the South Fork of the South Branch of the Chicago River, it got its name because for decades it was the sewer for the Chicago Stockyards. The gator was found at 37th and Racine, that is just a few blocks from Comiskey Park, I mean, US Cellular Field, home of the Chicago White Sox. As I posted this morning the Sox are playing the Cubs this weekend (the Cubs currently lead the series 1 game to none). Okay Cub fans, fess-up, who let their gator loose down in Bridgeport?

Oh no! I suppose that is someone's pet, who got too big to be a pet anymore.

It probably got awfully expensive, after all that is a pet that won't eat Basmati rice and live chickens are probably getting pretty pricey.
