Interesting fact about me: I LOVE alligators.
Adult Florida alligators are usually 6 to 12 feet long. The largest recorded Florida alligator measured 17 feet 5 inches.
Alligators eat fish, birds, turtles, snakes, mammals, and amphibians.
The breeding season begins in the spring.
Alligators are capable of killing humans, but are generally wary enough not to see them as a potential prey.
In 1967, the alligator was listed as an endangered species
The lifespan of an alligator is 30-40 years in the wild
They breed at about 8-10 years
Alligators communicate by hissing and bellowing
In the Everglades they have an Alligator Farm.
It contains over 2000 alligators
Home of the famous 14 ft. "Grandpa" alligator, the farm has an awesome staff of Airboat drivers, Alligator Experts, and even Snake handlers.
