With spring approaching, flowers are in bloom, the mocking birds sing all night long and the alligators come out in Machado Park.
Reggie: Part II is expected to open at lake in April
The original Alligator Tale of Harbor City had quite a cast of characters, including Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin. The sequel is shaping up nicely.
Rise and shine.
It’s spring. The sun is shining and temperatures are climbing. The days are growing longer.
Can Reggie’s reawakening be far behind?
Harbor City’s elusive alligator hasn’t been seen since October, when a reptile’s normal winter hibernating season begins.
But Russ Smith, reptile curator for the Los Angeles Zoo, says the South Bay’s favorite watery beast should be stirring back to life any time now in Machado Lake, where he’s eluded capture since August after he was allegedly released illegally over the summer by his owners.
“It’s going to be soon,” Smith said of the alligator’s expected resurfacing. “I still think March would be a good possibility, but I imagine the (recent) cold weather probably pushed things back a little bit. It will probably be April now.”
