Alligator Escape Shuts Down Dormagen Lake Bathing
In Dormagen on the Rhine, an 82 inch pet alligator named Sammy escaped its owner Joerg Zars and fled into a lake. Police used nets and a shark hook while searchlights illuminated the water but failed to subdue the creature as hundreds hesitated to swim. Local officials continued the hunt despite initial claims of a successful shooting.
