Gatorland Orlando prides itself on being low-tech, low-maintenance, and on providing millions of visitors with an authentic Florida experience. Despite the name, Gatorland is about much more than alligators. At 110 acres, the park is a haven for other wildlife too, showcasing the beauty of the swamp as an ecologically-diverse paradise of flora and fauna.

Alligator facts

Alligators have been here since around the time dinosaurs went extinct and have been described as living fossils.
There are two living types of alligators in the world - Chinese and American.
American alligators can reach half a ton in weight.
Alligators can have up to 80 teeth at one time and new teeth are grown to replace worn ones.
Alligators and crocodiles are often mistaken for each other but alligators have slimmer V-shaped snouts while crocodiles are much broader.
