Alligator mississippiensis
Getting bit by a baby alligator is something that only happens if you are being stupid.
I was a seasonal keeper at the time and the senior keeper was showing us how to move the baby alligators, who were each about 10 inches long, from one tank to another for cleaning. Right after she said “Don’t touch them near their heads” I reached out to touch one. Yes, near its head. And so it bit me. This was more a pinching feeling than a painful bite, but boy, did I feel dumb! Because I only worked with baby alligators for one summer, I don’t know much about them, so please follow this link for more information:
