Chicago needs to know: Who is "Alligator Bob"? Is he the guy from this story? chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-20… #HumboldtGator
Also: the #HumboldtGator is hardly Chicago's first. This one was in Lake Michigan last year: chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/… #HumboldtGator
And in 2010, another alligator was rescued from the Chicago River, under the Belmont Avenue bridge. chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-20… #HumboldtGator
And then there's this tale from the July 8, 1902, Chicago Tribune. No word on how long that Chicago River alligator lasted in his "barrel of water." #HumboldtGator Image
