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!
during my docent-guide training at CAS this past weekend i got to snap some sneak peak pics:

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."
Pulled because of a "special to the Chronicle" no doubt. Bastards.
oh god, what pricks. and the CAS will look back on this with regret.
Huh? What got pulled?
Oh, the video. I saw the preview but the removal notice didn't appear until I tried to play it. Quick, call Thomas Hawk!
