An alligator that eluded capture for days in a Chicago lagoon is settling in its new home in Florida.
###
The St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park said in a Facebook post Friday that it welcomed the reptile known as Chance the Snapper with a banner, pizza and Chicago’s greatest hits.
###
The park that now houses Chance recommended the Florida trapper Chicago officials flew in to capture the gator.
######
The 4-foot, 18-pound American alligator became an instant sensation from the day he was spotted in the Humboldt Park lagoon and photos popped up online.
###
Investigators don’t know why the animal was in the lagoon, but experts say it wouldn’t have survived the winter.
###
Excited Facebook users dropped tons of comments on the post.
######
Park director John Brueggen says Chance will stay alone for 90 days to make sure he is illness-free, and then join other gators.
