just kidding, I offered to help and am always happy to wrangle some gators! This is a feisty little hypomelanistic alligator at @xtreme_wildlife_foundation Being “hypo” is a recessive genetic trait that means it has much less black pigmentation than normal. Even at this little size this gator can take a finger off, and if you watch that initial grab you’ll see one of the most important things I preach when I’m teaching someone how to handle- you can NEVER hesitate and always have to fully commit! That little gator turned to bite as I was moving in and if I had hesitated it would’ve got me! Thanks for having us Stephen and always a great time visiting!! #gator #alligator #hypo #hypomelantistic #florida #education #animaleducation
