Film du Jour: Albino Alligator Arrives at California Academy of Science

Did you climb up on your chair? We did.

The above footage was taken today at the CAS, which opens at the end of September. Here's just a taste of what they'll have to offer: an albino alligator. Enjoy!

UPDATE: Boo! Clip pulled by CAS PR person. Alas.

Did they find it on the corner of 6th and Market?

On behalf of my species, I apologize.

Well, albino alligator, enjoy your stay in my nightmares for the rest of my life.

Wow, at the end everyone wanted to ride it!

Creepy critter, but also beautiful.

best comment thread! keep em coming.

Diversity training in the alligator pit at 9 AM tomorrow. Donuts and raw chicken!

This is a non-story with Dhaliwals in the clink.

Hmm, looks like CAS has a trademark on all images associated with them. Gba watch out!

Willie Brown's last column alluded to the multi-culti world of alligator species. I believe he asked, which one would win the eventual fight.


Klassy!

I think Willie meant "Which one would receive the greatest amount of special interest payola."

oh god, what pricks. and the CAS will look back on this with regret.

Oh, the video. I saw the preview but the removal notice didn't appear until I tried to play it. Quick, call Thomas Hawk!
