A rare albino alligator has hatched at Wild Florida’s Gator Park in Kenansville as part of a successful breeding program dedicated to albino gators. The baby gator’s parents, Snowflake and Blizzard, who also live at the park, have been cared for by the “croc squad” at Wild Florida and their eggs were kept in a climate-controlled room. Albino alligators are extremely rare, with only an estimated 100 to 200 in existence. These gators exhibit their albinism through white skin and ruby-red eyes due to the absence of melanin. The new baby albino gator will make its debut at the Gator Park after a month of maturity.
Wild Florida is dedicated to providing animals with the best environment possible for them to thrive, as it is nearly impossible for albino gators to reach maturity in the wild. The park is committed to conservation efforts and ensuring the well-being of their animals. The albino alligator is the latest addition to the park’s collection, with the last hatching occurring in the summer of 2022.
