A wildlife and safari park in Florida announced the hatching of a rare albino alligator.
Representatives with Wild Florida said their Croc Squad team kept the albino eggs in an incubator and a climate-controlled room under careful watch.
“With the hard work and dedication of our Croc Squad, we worked together to produce one perfect healthy albino alligator hatchling this season,” Andrew Ayala on the Croc Squad said.
According to the animal team, it’s almost impossible to have albino gators reach maturity in the wild and they are dedicated to providing the best environment possible for the animal to thrive.
The albino gator hatchling is expected to make its debut at Wild Florida’s Gator Park after a month of maturity.
For now, guests can see the parents, Snowflake and Blizzard, in their exhibit or the Albino Gator encounter.
“We are most proud of the parents who continue to beat the odds and be a one-of-a-kind experience for guests,” Ayala said.
According to Wild Florida, it is proud to be the only attraction in the world with a successful albino alligator breeding program.
