KidFlamess stopped by Everglades Holiday Park and headed into the Gator Pit with Devin and some of our rescued alligators. He had a couple of great questions for Devin: Why are alligators so important to the Everglades, and what exactly is an apex predator? Devin breaks it down while getting up close with the animals that play such an important role in the Everglades ecosystem.

Gary catches Devin taking it easy in the pit with some of our rescued alligators, but not everyone is happy to see Gary. Which alligator do you think hisses at him? Watch until the end when Devin gets an alligator rescue call and it’s time to go.

George spends some one on one time with Hector while feeding him and talking about something that might surprise you. Hector really does not eat as much as some of our other rescued alligators. Every gator is different, and George breaks down a little about Hector’s diet and how it compares to the others.

Devin is inside Hector’s habitat talking about how an alligator’s brain works, including how parts of the brain control essential functions like breathing and what’s really happening when you see an alligator seemingly sleeping on the bank. And of course, Hector gets a nice piece of chicken during the visit.

Zilla has his eyes locked on that piece of chicken, and when George gives him the opportunity, this big rescued alligator goes for his best jump to grab it. Think he got enough air?

Gary starts out wondering if Snoopy the rescued alligator is going to give him a hiss, but Snoopy stays pretty relaxed. Then Devin walks over and Snoopy opens that mouth wide. Hungry? Not quite. No chicken this time, but Devin does manage to sneak in a little boop on the snoot.

Devin is down in the gator pit for feeding time, and Fahrenheit and Sea Bass are ready for their weekly chicken meal. Fahrenheit wastes no time giving us that nice bone crunch. Turn the sound up for this one.

George spends a lot of time around Hector, feeding him, hanging out with him, and getting a feel for how Hector reacts to his presence. But does Hector actually see George as a friend, or does he just know George is the guy who shows up with the chicken? With a rescued alligator like Hector, that is an interesting question. What do you think?

Hector does not need a whole lot to keep him happy. George spends some time feeding Hector, one of our rescued alligators, and talks about how he really does not need much food at a time. A little chicken, some quality time with George, and Hector seems pretty content.

Devin steps into Hector’s habitat to see just how comfortable this rescued alligator is with him being in his space. Hector definitely has his own personality, and reading his body language is a big part of working around him. Do you think Devin crossed the line, or was Hector just keeping a close eye on him?

Looks like someone was a little early for class at Coconut Creek High School 🐊 There’s a familiar face in this rescue story, too. Devin from the Gator Boys Alligator Rescue Team helped with the trap, and this big guy is now here with us at the Park. Can you spot Devin in the photos?

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, honor the heroes who answered the call, and reflect on the strength and unity shown in the days that followed. Their courage, sacrifice, and memory will never be forgotten.

Hector was VERY excited to see George, or maybe just the bucket of chicken. George uses his bucket as a shield, gets Hector settled down, then spends some one on one time with him to see just how reactive he’s feeling.

This gator had one thing on his mind: getting to that bucket of chicken. He climbed right up onto the tree stump in the Gator pit, but the leaves growing out of it got in the way. A few bites later, he realized pretty quickly that he had grabbed the wrong snack. It’s pretty cute!

You could hear that crunch! George tosses Jigsaw a nice piece of chicken, and Jigsaw makes quick work of it, bone and all. Just another feeding day with one of our rescued alligators here at Everglades Holiday Park.

Take a closer look at Fahrenheit’s nails. There’s definitely a little polish still hanging on, and we’re pretty sure Devin had something to do with it.

George also treated Fahrenheit to a nice piece of chicken, and she came right up like the good girl she is. She may be a rescued alligator, but apparently she still likes a little style with her snacks.
