First a cougar, now a gator. Are suburbanites fair game for the wildlife? Sun Times:
Forest preserve volunteer Rita Renwick first saw the alligator resting on a log near a group of black crowned night herons.
"I thought, am I seeing things? What could that be besides an alligator?" said Renwick, who has led interpretive nature walks at the rookery for 18 years. "I've never seen anything like this."
Do people not realize these "pets" grow up and get big? Some other worries. Nature, untamed. I imagine the nature walks may be sparsely attended for a while, more's the pity. Love the picture, though. So artistic.
