Big shout out to @mina_bloom_ for breaking the #HumboldtGator story. @BlockClubCHI and their journalists are a great part of the news landscape in this city. #GatorWatch2019

WE GOT A GATOR

Alligator Bob is launching the canoe.

The #HumboldtGator was spotted around 10pm tonight, when it surfaced for a few minutes. Traps have been placed in the Lagoon to humanely catch the alligator. 'Alligator Bob' told us that it may take a few days to catch the animal. Now on @CapturedNews #GatorWatch2019

That all for #GatorWatch2019 coverage tonight. Chicago Park District security and CPD have cleared out the park. There is concern that the gator will be spooked and not find it's way to one of the traps. See ya lata alligata! #HumboldtGator
