At least that's what Rebecca calls them! We went to Florida last week with my parents, sister, and niece, and everyone had a good time. Rebecca LOVES reptiles of all sorts, and has been asking to visit alligators for a while, so one of the things we did was went to Gatorland. She got to pet a baby alligator, and I think that pretty much made her day (and maybe her vacation-- she still is talking about the alligators!).
Cool "did you know" fact: Alligators can close and retract their eyes so far into their skulls that they can have holes in place of their eyes. This helps protect their eyes from objects as they swim through brush in water.
Yes, they feed the alligators chicken.
We went and fed the giant tortoises after seeing them hand feed the alligators. I think both girls really enjoyed seeing and touching them.
We took a train ride around the park.
Then we took a walk down a boardwalk through the breeding marsh. The trees are COVERED in birds nests, and there are alligator nests on the ground by the water.
The bird was hitching a ride!
WHITE Alligator! 
We let the little ones play in the water and on the playground before getting back into the cars to go back to the rooms. :)
