Mysterious reptile eludes capture in park (Reuters):

A mysterious, alligator-like creature that surfaced in a Los Angeles suburb has eluded capture for nearly a week, shrewdly passing up raw chicken bait and dodging reptile wranglers in pontoon boats. The 5-foot-long (1.5 meter) reptile was first spotted last Wednesday swimming in a lake at an urban park in the gritty Los Angeles suburb of Harbor City. Park officials concluded that it was probably a Caiman, a relative of the alligator indigenous to South America, and speculate that it may have been an exotic pet that was abandoned when it grew too large.Adult caiman measuring about 2m long, swim in artificial ponds east of Montevideo, August 29, 2004.

Gin. You need to capture him with gin. Bourbon in a pinch.

If you do catch him, deliver him back here, and we'll buy all your drinks for the night.
