Gator Update: Reggie Edition

keyetv.com - Reggie The Alligator Resting Comfortably At Zoo: "(CBS) LOS ANGELES Reggie the alligator was resting comfortably Friday in his new digs at the Los Angeles Zoo, officials said.

The 7-foot gator is expected to undergo a physical examination next week to make sure it is healthy, and to definitively determine the beast's gender, according to the zoo's reptile expert, Ian Recchio.

Zoo officials are also expected to decide in the coming weeks whether Reggie will be sent elsewhere or remain in Los Angeles with the zoo's six other American alligators and two Chinese gators.

'This whole situation is still so fresh and we're still trying to catch our breath,' Recchio said. 'We're just concerned about getting him comfortable right now and just dealing with the media attention.'"
