KENANSVILLE, Fla., Aug. 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Wild Florida is
excited to announce the hatching of a rare albino alligator at its
Gator Park. This latest addition to the park's wild and exotic
animal family followed a careful 60-day incubation period led by
their dedicated Croc Squad.
Wild Florida is proud to be the
only attraction in the world with a successful albino alligator
breeding program, marking this as their third successful
hatching.
"With the hard work and dedication of our Croc Squad, we worked
together to produce one perfect healthy albino alligator hatchling
this season," said Andrew Ayala on
the Croc Squad. "We are most proud of the parents, Snowflake and
Blizzard, who continue to beat the odds and be a one-of-a-kind
experience for guests."
Throughout the egg incubation period, Wild Florida kept the
albino eggs in a climate-controlled room only accessible to the
Croc Squad. The eggs were held in an incubator while under careful
watch by the Croc Squad. While it's nearly impossible to have
albino gators reach maturity in the wild, Wild Florida is dedicated
to providing animals with the best environment possible so they can
thrive.
Parent albino gators, Snowflake and Blizzard, have been with
Wild Florida for seven years, and the pair's last hatching was in
the Summer of 2022.
The new baby albino gator will make its debut at Wild Florida's
Gator Park after a month of maturity. For now, you can see parents,
Snowflake and Blizzard, Monday through Saturday in their exhibit or
in the unique Albino Gator encounter, where you can take the role
of an animal trainer and see their behaviors. Wild Florida offers discounted rates for
Florida residents; all information
