Gator Captured in South Sacramento!

Update:  The following post was written on June 2, 2016, weeks before the terrible tragedy involving the death of a child in Florida on June 14th.  We offer the child's family our deepest and sincere condolences and prayers.  The post below is intended as satire to highlight the sad state of urban conditions in South Sacramento.

With reports from Florida and Georgia concerning sightings of large alligators, the South Sac Blog brings you an update.  This unidentified man reportedly captured a large alligator found roaming the streets and open drainage ditches of unincorporated South Sacramento. 

The gator was allegedly removed from a typical South Sac drainage ditch like the one below by Elsie/Cottonwood and Wilbur.

The alligator may also have been attracted to the large bush-like weeds growing out of cracks in the crumbling South Sacramento sidewalks as shown on below.  These litter-infested areas, ignored by local politicians, may offer concealment for wild animals.

The gator was reportedly released back into the wild, and its current location is unknown.
