Alligator Adventure

The kids and I went to Alligator Adventure, The Reptile Capital of the World at Broadway at the Beach. I was thinking to myself, "What a waste of money, this place is tiny and will be such a let down to the kids." Boy, was I wrong. They LOVED it! It really isn't a very big place but the people who work there are so nice and very eager to talk to you about the animals. They have alligators, crocodiles, snakes, bears, and tigers, along with a few birds. S took most of these pics too. I wish we have more of the lemurs. They had a two month old baby and it was so much fun to watch the interaction between the older lemurs and the baby. The kids decided lemurs are a cross between monkeys and our cat, Rico! We were there at feeding time and what a interesting thing to watch. The same handler feeds them daily so they knew when she came close to their room what she was doing. S also thought the albino alligators and "Bob" the alligator. He was born without a tail, and in the wild he would have died. He has a small enclosure that features a small shallow pool. Since he doesn't have a tail, he can't swim! As he grows, so does his grassy area. The kids had heard of him from a friend so they were thrilled when we finally found him.
