It was a wild day in Chicago. Literally. An alligator was found in the Humboldt Park Lagoon and the city has been entranced ever since. Other than confirmation that a 4-5 foot alligator WAS in fact in the lagoon, the delight of many has been the assistance of a man named "Alligator Bob." According to local reports, Alligator Bob is an animal "expert" and often helps Animal Control with "exotic-animal searches."

Do you think Alligator Bob woke up this morning knowing it was his time to shine? No, dammit. But he rose to the occasion. Be Alligator Bob.
