Then This Happened: Musical Stories

Chance the Snapper is a four to five foot long alligator that was found swimming in the Humboldt Park lagoon, in Chicago, Illinois, on the evening of July 9, 2019. The animal was named after Chance the Rapper in an online poll conducted by the Block Club Chicago news website,beating other suggested nicknames such as Ruth Gator Ginsberg, Croc Obama, and Frank Lloyd Bite. The alligator inspired several social media accounts, and was the subject of national news coverage. Chance was captured on July 16, 2019, and found to be a male and in good health.

We brought in the man who caught that gator, Frank Robb - aka, Alligator Robb to tell the tale!
