Alligator Alley is a place where alligators that are dangerous to humans or have been injured can go and live instead of being killed. The owners have built raised boardwalks through the swamps so visitors can safely observe and feed the alligators. The alligator food looks like big chunks of charcoal or dog food.
Near the entrance of Alligator Alley they have built a viewing station. The owners feed the alligators deer and pork several times a day. This is just one of several pictures we got of the alligators eating.
We thought even alligators like pillows?
The kids all got to hold or touch a year old alligator. The alligator had his mouth taped shut with electrical tape. Even at that age he/she had a lot of sharp teeth!
The kids were more brave than mama. No way was I going to touch an alligator. I had the willies the whole time we were there. However, we had a great time. None of us had seen an alligator before, and we got to see them as up close and personal as you would want to.
