Chucky still missing
In Gulf Shores, the Alabama Gulf Shores Zoo was littered with wood and
other debris. Most animals were evacuated before the storm, but
authorities were looking for 12 deer and six alligators that hadn't been
evacuated and have been seen wading -- or swimming -- around the flooded
island.
Among them is Chucky, a 1,000-pound, 12-foot-long alligator, and zoo
officials spent three hours fruitlessly searching by canoe for him
Thursday afternoon.
Officials believe he got away in the dark of night, though they concede
Chucky could be anywhere.
Chucky is a nice animal -- he has been fed by humans and could approach
people if he sees them -- but people should be cautious, an official
said.
"If you're a male -- say 6-foot-5 -- and he wants you, you're his," zoo
general manager Kate Raymond said.
