Before Grumpy Cat, Doug the Pug and P-22 became viral animal celebrities, there was Reggie the alligator. LA Times staff writer Corinne Purtill wrote about where Reggie is now, 15 years after his capture. Purtill joined host Lisa McRee on “LA Times Today.”When Reggie was first spotted in Lake Machado in 2005, he quickly became a sensation. But finally, in August of 2005, the alligator crawled out of the lake and started sunning itself, and it was undisputedly an alligator. Watch “LA Times Today” at 7 and 10 p.m. Monday through Friday on Spectrum News 1 and the Spectrum News app.
