The alligator in the picture is famous in Los Angeles. He was first seen in an LA park about two years ago. The city government worked hard to catch him, but he disappeared.
He finally was seen again about four months ago and was captured. He was put in a pen at Los Angeles Zoo in early August. About a week later, he escaped!
Zoo workers quickly began hunting for the alligator known as Reggie. He was found in the zoo, and the workers managed to catch him.

They said they think Reggie escaped by climbing a side wall in his pen.
"Reggie's a crafty alligator," zoo worker Jason Jacobs said.
Zoo director John Lewis said the zoo has taken steps to stop Reggie from escaping again.
"This alligator just keeps amazing us," Lewis said. "We are going to keep him under watch."

照片中是一隻在美國洛杉磯出了名的鱷魚。大約兩年前，首次出現在洛杉磯的一座公園裡。市政府努力設法要抓牠，但牠卻消失的無影無蹤。
大約在四個月前，終於再度被人發現，而且被抓了起來。今年八月初，牠被安置在洛杉磯動物園的欄舍內。過了約一個星期後，牠又逃脫了！
動物園工作人員馬上展開獵鱷行動，追捕這隻名為「雷吉」的鱷魚。結果牠在動物園裡被發現，工作人員好不容易將牠抓了起來。
他們說，他們認為雷吉是爬過圍欄的側牆脫逃。
「雷吉是一隻很狡猾的鱷魚，」動物園工作人員傑森．雅各布說。
動物園園長約翰．路易斯說，動物園已經採取措施來防止雷吉再度逃脫。
「這隻鱷魚一直不斷地讓我們吃驚，」路易斯說：「我們會看緊牠。」（翻譯：楊鴻泰）

Computex, Asia’s biggest electronics conference, kicked off Monday in Taipei, and as in years past drew industry chieftains from Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang and Qualcomm Inc.’s Cristiano Amon to Young Liu of Foxconn, which makes the bulk of the world’s iPhones and Nvidia servers. But while last year’s event was a celebration of the post-ChatGPT AI boom, executives this time are likely grappling with the uncertainty of the Trump administration’s effort to reshape the global trade order — disrupting a decades-old model for tech manufacturing. This year’s exhibition will of course feature the hardware required to bring artificial intelligence to life.
Have you ever wondered who decides what we see in a museum or how one artwork seamlessly connects to the next? Behind every thoughtfully arranged gallery space stands a curator, a skilled professional who combines art and storytelling to craft meaningful experiences. The term “curator” originates from the Latin word cura, meaning “to care.” Curators were originally caretakers of museum collections, but over time, their role has grown to include a broad range of responsibilities that extend far beyond preservation.
