Gatorland Zoo

We are on Spring Break this week so today we ventured to the Gatorland Zoo. We had an awesome time and saw soooo many alligators and crocodiles!

Here are E&M at the entrance to the park...We fed raw hotdogs to these guys and they LOVED it!In this area there are 100 females to 30 males...it's the breeding area...this photo doesn't do it justice.This crocodile was just sitting there on the grass soaking in the sun with his mouth wide open.Check out this snake! ;)Riding an alligator....Now this photo is of Miss E holding a REAL, LIVE PYTHON! Yes! SHE wanted to do this...I was shocked! She's in this funny pose since the snake was trying to slither away under her leg. Too funny! But she loved it! She could have had her photo taken with a python or an iguana, and she chose PYTHON....she's BRAVE my Miss E!Twins on the playground...

There were so many gators in this area! You would not have believed how loud they bellowed!...it is mating season you know. AMAZING...they sounded like a motor boat! Again, this photo doesn't do it justice as to how many gators and crocs were out there. Here I am with E&M waiting to watch a man wrestle an alligator!
Here is the man trying to get him to open his jaw...I definitely would not want this man's job!Playing possum? ;)It was a great day for sure!
