Happy update on alligator from Chicago, Chance the Snapper

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla — The famous Chicago alligator, Chance the Snapper, got a blast from the past visit at the St. Augustine Alligator farm and Zoological Park.

Chance is living his best life in a large enclosure with a variety of alligators, crocodiles, and caiman.

The pool Chance now calls home is attached to a popular guest spot, the porch of the Anastasia Island Conservation Center, where guests can relax in our rocking chairs and toss crocodilian pellets into pool.

Chance is the round-faced American Alligator, waiting for someone to toss him a handful of pellets. (The animal above him in the photo is a crocodile.)
