The original Orlando theme park, Gatorland bills itself as “The Alligator Capital of the World,” complete with gator wrestling (man vs. gator) and opportunities to feed the gators. In March, it is also a destination for birdwatchers, who will find over 1,000 pairs of nesting herons and egrets in the trees above the park’s alligator breeding marsh. The birds find the well-fed gators below good protection for their young from predators like racoons and snakes. Perhaps that’s why visitors can get very close to their nests without alarming them.
