Recently, Chance The Snapper (aka the Humbolt Park Alligator) has captured the hearts and minds of many Chicagoans.

Evading capture for days, news coverage, memes, social media posts and more caught fire talking about the little guy.

I say instead if hiding this legendary piece of Chicago history away, we give him a permanent exhibit at the Lincoln Park Zoo for Chicagoans to admire him for years to come!
