Feeding and Training Time


 The biggest alligator at the Naples Zoo is 12'6" long.  Nine alligators appeared at 3 o'clock, when it was time to feed them and to train them.  They know their names and come forward when their names are called, to get a treat.  (Most of the feeding is done on their own, in the pond.)





Feeding alligators is another job I do not want to have.

    Amazing that Alligators can be trained. I agree with you about not wanting this job. You got impressive photos.

    I don't think I'd like to train alligators either. There's nothing cute about a trained alligator. I hope you photographed these with a long lens!

    Wow. That would be a scary job, at least for me. Great photos.
