Mysterious reptile eludes capture in L.A. park
LOS ANGELES (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 metre) reptile was first spotted last Wednesday swimming in a lake at an urban park in the gritty Los Angeles suburb of Harbour 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.
As word of the odd sighting spread, hundreds of spectators have turned up to watch crews of police, firefighters, park rangers, state fish and wildlife workers and even local herpetologists comb the 53-acre (21 hectare) lake in pontoon boats, carrying nets and dangling raw chicken over the side.
Park officials are planning to take the reptile to the LA zoo when they capture it but all efforts so far to nab the creature have failed, despite claims by a local fisherman that he briefly ensnared it in a net by using flour tortillas as bait.
"They're very fast, you can't believe how fast these animals are," Jarron Lucas of the Southwestern Herpetologist Society told local KABC-TV.
"Everybody's got their roll of electrical tape," he said. "If I'm on top of him the next person who runs up on top of me can quickly secure his mouth. If that happens here, you'll see everybody dog pile right on top of him."

I know it's funny, but on a serious point, what crime has the nappy wearer committed? What has he done to warrant a police search?
As I understand it, he hasn't broken any law. He hasn't attacked anyone. He hasn't threatened anyone. He hasn't indecently exposed himself. I agree that his behaviour is weird, but since when has that been illegal? In this country we are famous for our eccentric behaviour.
Once again the police try to meet their targets and show how they tackle crime by going for the soft target. A gang of yobs can hang around outside a care home for people with learning disabilities, vandalising cars and property, abusing staff and residents, breaking into the property and threatening bodily harm. Police aren't interested. Yet wear a nappy on the street or answer the door in a bikini and the police are there in a flash, protecting that thin blue line.

Knicker-Nicking Builder Gets Island Ban A builder who stole knickers and sex toys from women on the Isles of Scilly has been banned from the shores.Andrew Stephan, 42, stole the underwear and toys over five years on St Mary's island off the Cornish coast.A judge at Truro Crown Court has now banned him from setting foot on the island for seven years.
Eleven women were called to the court to identify their personal belongings in front of the judge.
Most of the knickers had been stolen from washing lines round the island.
The judge said Stephan had stolen "particularly personal items" in breach of the trust of the people of St Mary's who left their doors unlocked.
The theft came to light when the new boyfriend of Stephan's estranged wife found 160 pairs of knickers hidden under floorboards.
As he searched the house more underwear, toys and photographs came to light.
And as word of the find spread round the island, women turned up at the police station to identify their smalls.
Stephan's lawyer said his client was "deeply ashamed".
