Gator Hunts; The Good Bad And Interesting

By Patrick Hill


As people, we have made a lot of mistakes and nowhere are those mistakes more apparent and documented than those done to the animal kingdom. Whether it s for tusk or hides, as humans we have made plenty of mistakes, some of Gator hunts have had irrevocable consequences. To species like crocodiles and alligators which have been some of the oldest animals to live in modern times.

Alligators are reptiles that are often confused with crocodiles because they look so similar. The easiest way to tell them apart is through the size of their snout, with that of the American native reptile more broader than it s nice based cousin. As a result, it s a great idea to see this animal while the opportunity is still there in case it suffers the same fate as its Chinese relative of the same species.

Though the persistent efforts of conservation programs and ranchers dedicated to the livelihood of these animals have not only helped to increase their numbers. They also allow for small little tidbits like these to be shared with people who go out to tour a place that houses these beasts, be it a park, sanctuary or farm.

It s also a great way to learn some general knowledge such as the fact that alligators can go through approximately 2000 teeth in their lifetime. Now that s something to brag about next time you re out with friends debating about animals over the fire of a barbeque.

Historically speaking, farms like these were used for commercial purposes in the same way chickens are put on a farm in order for them to produce products that are easily accessible. Minimizing costs in the long run. In the case of these crocodilian animals, those products included but were not limited to meat and of course leather.

Although these animals have helped the plight of so many people, both greedy and needy alike. There have been some concerns raised regarding the captivity of alligators and crocodiles. The first and point of order being the welfare of these reptiles. Because they re unable to speak, they cannot speak up when they find their living conditions unfit for the strongest set of jaws in the planet even if those who have created their living space think otherwise.

Depending on where the tour is, you can also take advantage of other amenities such as fan rides and hiking in the swap. Which should add some spinach to the overall experience of going out on an alligator tour.

Although they may come across as slow sluggish animals, looks can be deceiving, so much so they re even able to boost the local economy through tourism efforts. Alligators are a species filled with many tricks up their hypothetical sleeve.
