Take a walk on the wild side back in time with an original dinosaur, the Florida Alligator. Our reptile exhibit features dozens of species both native and exotic to Florida.
Along with our friendly turtles and iguanas, you can learn about Cannibal, our 1000 pound alligator. Our handlers are happy to demonstrate how these animals live and survive in the wild.
We now have a water monitor named Mona. Mona is an adopted monitor from the Wildlife Care Center in Fort Lauderdale. She was abused and left on the side of the road, nursed back to health and eventually found her way home here at Sawgrass. She has a bit of a bad attitude but we love her anyway. Mona eats bits of raw meat and for a treat she loves eggs!
Be sure to bring your camera, so you can capture the excitement of you cradling one of these majestic animals with our "Hold a Baby Alligator" experience. Please note that the variety of animals on display may change from day to day and there is no guarantee of specific animals at any time.
