Alligator Found under Escalator at Chicago Airport |

![]() ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,... 's O'Hare International Airport has left authorities puzzled. A maintenance worker discovered the alligator, which is about a foot (30 centimeters) long, on Friday in Terminal 3, Chicago Police front man Jose Estrada said Sunday. An officer captured the reptile by putting a trash can over it. "We don't know where it came from or how long it'd been residing in the airport facilities," Estrada said. "It's one of those random incidents." The gator is now being cared for by the Chicago Herpetological Society. "It was in pretty bad shape," said Jason Hood, the group's president. "We're trying to get it healthy and find a place for it." He said the gator would likely head to an out-of-state alligator farm once authorities give the organization the all-clear to release the animal. |

#2 Glenmore, I thought Chicago was the factory for the sort of crocodiles you're talking about. ION... How doth the little crocodile Improve his shining tail, And pours the waters of the Nile On every golden scale! How cheerfully he seems to grin, How neatly spreads his claws, And welcomes little fishes in With gently smiling jaws! |

#1 And here we were thinking Chicago was aiming to be the place the crocodile ate last. |
