Chicago alligator nicknamed 'Chance the Snapper' evades capture—and draws onlookers.

The reptilian attraction that has taken Chicago by storm continues to evade capture, as authorities ramp up their search efforts and city residents yearn for a spotting.

“I don't really like them but I am really excited to see if it is out there in the lake,” Layla Ortiz told the station. The alligator is believed to have been a pet that someone dropped in the lagoon, Schlueter said. The new territory, and the alligator's need to acclimate to that territory, are possible reasons why the animal hasn't taken to the traps, which include chicken drumsticks, fish and rats.

“We haven’t trapped it yet,” Anthony Guglielmi, spokesman for the police department, wrote ABC News in an email. “The traps were set but he hasn’t taken the bait.”
