Largeat Alligator in Captivity Weight
1,400 Pounds and Would Be Ugly
Customer te Meet.
Ocklawaha, the largest alligator In
captivity, is thought to be several
hundred years old, weighs 1,400
pounds and 19 thirteen and one-half
feet long. He would be an ugly
customer to run into accidentally.
Experts determine the age of the
alligator by the width of his nose
between his eye teeth. After the
reptile is ten feet long, the nose
widens one-quarter of an inch for
each fifty years the alligator lives.
During his life, which often
covers a period of ten centuries, the
alligator has twenty-two distinct and
separate sets of teeth. So far as
naturalists and scientists know,
there are no contagious or germ
diseases to which alligators are sus-
ceptible. This is largely explana-
tory of their remarkable longevity.
The average layman imagines that
an alligator chews a leg or an arm
off his victim who is unfortunate
enough to fall prey to the reptile.
This is* not true. The alligator
snaps his jaws together with very
great rapidity and at the same time
he holds the leg or arm of his victim
in a viselike grip. Then the alligator
turns over and twists the appendage
of his captive off.—George II. Daey
in Nature Magazine.
