Thieves are likely responsible for the disappearance of seven rare alligators from the same brood as the alligator pictured here in São Paulo, Brazil, on January 4, 2008, authorities say.

The extremely rare alligators are worth about $9,700 apiece, according to the director of the zoo that lost the reptiles.
