Holidays are a time where fun should be the number 1 thing on the agenda. And with fun comes the need to try out new things, be it conquering a phobia or learning a new skill. Florida and more specifically the Everglades are a great place to enjoy Gator hunts, be it as an international tourist or a domestic one. And the reason for this is simple, the abundance of wildlife, festivities and of course the alligators.

But such an animal doesn t get to live as long as it does on luck. Adapting to the environment and taking advantage of the weak are lessons that have stood true but have also been its downfall, which almost rendered it extinct. Through the powers that be, conservation and a few people who really didn t want to see them on a list of the extinct put a lot of work in ensuring that they live on for another century and maybe another one after that.

Though the persistent efforts of conservation programs and ranchers dedicated to the livelihood of these animals have not only helped to increase their numbers. They also allow for small little tidbits like these to be shared with people who go out to tour a place that houses these beasts, be it a park, sanctuary or farm.

It s also a great way to learn some general knowledge such as the fact that alligators can go through approximately 2000 teeth in their lifetime. Now that s something to brag about next time you re out with friends debating about animals over the fire of a barbeque.

Even from the 20th century, alligator tours have been a way to make money for those who had the foresight in investing in one. Even if those tours had ulterior motives like the breeding of these reptiles for their skin, which was the thing back in the 20th century. So that needs to be taken into account and acknowledged.

But by 1967, these animals were protected by law in America means that the intentions of farms had to change tact. And thus the change began, from slaughterhouse to sanctuary began. Although nobody gives these patches of land any credit they were instrumental in reviving the population of alligators once it dipped to dangerously low levels.

Depending on where the tour is, you can also take advantage of other amenities such as fan rides and hiking in the swap. Which should add some spinach to the overall experience of going out on an alligator tour.

Although they may come across as slow sluggish animals, looks can be deceiving, so much so they re even able to boost the local economy through tourism efforts. Alligators are a species filled with many tricks up their hypothetical sleeve.
