In this short film, Discover Animals’ videographer Geoff Moore visits Florida to explore Sawgrass Recreation Park and meet its rescued alligators as well as those living wild.
He finds out some fascinating facts such as:
- alligators in the wild can have a life-span of 30-50 years
- they can’t survive in salt water
- they are the largest reptile in the Southern United States
- they can have anywhere up to 2,000 teeth during their life
- a group of alligators is called a congregation
A recommended visit for anyone travelling to Florida or stopping off as part of a cruise.
