Check out the video! Alligator VS Watermelon
The video has circled the globe appearing on Japanese TV and popping up on blogs all over the web! The video has even sparked some scientific debate about the possibility that crocodilians are not entirely carnivorous, and may be built to have vegetable matter in their diet! This notion has been circling the crocodilian community for a few years since there have been quite a few observations or alligators consuming fruits and veggies. But since the video has gone mainstream scientists are revisiting the issue. A great article showed up on a blog post check it out here

Much of what we do at Gator Adventure Productions is take what we “know” about alligators and challenge it. We draw inspiration from all kinds of sources. We have seen a lot of success offering alternative food sources such as watermelon for enrichment. Alligator training is something else we do a lot of focusing on, since reptile training has evolved exponentially in the last 10 or so years. These are the kind of things we are focusing on to improve quality of life, safety, and guest experiences within our company.
