Alligators in the Sewers - Still!

A 6-foot long alligator loose in an urban lake in Southern California, a hurricane-displaced ‘gator wrangler named T-Bone Quinn, a dysfunctional swamp buggy and impending cooler temperatures force a stalemate in a strange game of chess.

This almost sounds like fiction or comedy, but it’s true. After a resident of nearby San Pedro, CA, released an alligator he couldn’t keep into a city lake, three potential reptile trappers have been thwarted in their attempts to capture the elusive ‘gator.

The amusing story is in the Daily Breeze: T-Bone Quinn throws in the towel in Reggie search

I’m rooting for Reggie, the ‘gator in this one . . . hope he gets safely caught and sent to an alligator retirement community.

Update 10/18/2005: The Daily Breeze offers an archive of alligator articles.
