Alligators are basically lizards at that s o, ok, what do you have? What do you possess? Do you have an alligator key chain or night light? Like, what types of alligator paraphernalia have you been given, or have you purchased? It's funny that you say that. Om, literally wearing a gator sur right now. That as murder alog so, yes, the most intense collection of gaiter stuff. I just love anything her peti fana ad. Ever since starting alligator research, that's all i want. The males woare so chilled, never open their mouths at us. And the females just need to be stared at

Alligators, crocodiles and … a shut-down nuclear weapons plant? The excitement never ends when you’re Laura Kojima, an Alligator Ecotoxicologist. A longtime reptile cheerleader, Laura has passion to match some truly bananas stories about field work, tail smacks, gator jaws, mercury levels, swamp boats, and crocodilian evolution, overbites, and locomotion. Her incredible work keeps people -- and the gators -- safer in toxic waters and she recalls her favorite alligator bite and the one animal that sent her to the hospital. Also discussed: jorts & gator crotches.
