CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Maybe there's a reason the alligator hiding out in Humboldt Park Lagoon is keeping such a low profile.
Among the vendors at this year's Taste of Chicago food festival is Chicago's Dog House, which is serving alligator sausages.
Authorities want to trap the alligator -- which may have been someone's pet before growing too big for them -- and transport it to a zoo for a checkup.
