See ya later alligator.

The 3-foot long reptile was snagged Tuesday by a member of the Chicago Herpetological Society, who had set five traps baited with raw chicken for the creature. Residents had first spotted the reptile on Sunday, and it became a media sensation in the Windy City.
The alligator is the second gator to be caught in the Chicago River in the past month. Officials say they think both gators were pets that somebody purchased when they were babies and then released when they grew too big.
