00:00 Today is a very exciting day here at Gatorland with our Gatorland Global Program.
00:04 I'd like to introduce you guys to Jerry so he can tell you about this amazing alligator
00:09 we just got here at Gatorland.
00:11 We got a call about this gator a few weeks ago.
00:14 It hit social media and blew up.
00:17 We went out there and got him.
00:19 What do you think happened?
00:21 I think he probably years ago got hit by a propeller on a boat to be honest with you.
00:27 Little alligators have it hard here in the state of Florida.
00:29 With all of our boating and all of our development.
00:32 So if you see an alligator out there stay away from it.
00:34 But if you do see something like this please bring it to the attention of the good people
00:38 at the FWC.
00:40 We are asking you to help us name this little alligator right here.
00:43 I'm pretty sure it's a she.
00:45 Hopefully we'll have more success stories like this.
00:47 If you look this injury was from a long time ago.
00:49 We'll have our vet take a look at it.
00:51 Make sure he's okay.
00:52 But right now he's going into quarantine.
00:54 And thank you Jerry so much for being a good friend to Gatorland.
00:57 And for bringing him here to live with us.
00:59 And he's going to get to live out the rest of his life here in alligator paradise.
