Thousands of alligators
More than 2,000 American alligators live in Gatorland’s 110 acres, a species once considered endangered in Florida. They fill the pools and the breeding marsh, where you can watch them from the boardwalk and the observation tower.
White alligators
In the White Gator Swamp, an indoor exhibit, you can see leucistic alligators, which the park counts among only a dozen known in the world, and albino alligators. Albino alligators lack pigment entirely and have white skin and red eyes; leucism is a partial loss of pigment that leaves the eyes unaffected.
Taken in from trappers
Gatorland is known for buying nuisance alligators from trappers, who would otherwise kill them for their meat and skin. One of its best-known residents, an alligator called Jawlene, lives without her upper jaw.
