Love in the swamp: Gatorland educates public on alligator mating season
ORLANDO, Fla. – Experts at Orlando’s famous roadside attraction, Gatorland, are busy educating the public about the mating season of Florida’s most popular reptiles.
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, alligator courtship begins in early April with mating season beginning in May or June. Females will build a mound nest of soil, vegetation, or debris and lay an average of 32 to 46 eggs in late June or early July. The eggs will then hatch between mid-August to early September.
