This one mile self guided tour opens February 13th and gives you the background to 10 of Gatorland’s best known gators.

Included are their 4 white, or leucistic, gators who are among Gatorland’s biggest stars. These beauties are not albino but have small patches of pigment around their mouths and tails and bright blue eyes. Among the rarest of gators, they live in their special habitats protected from the sun and other males who see them as prey due to their color.

"Mania" is another one of the stars of the show. A big bull gator, he was caught down in a small pond near Miami airport where he had been known to chase fishermen along the bank. Gatorland handlers call him psycho for they never know quite how he’ll react to his surroundings.

"Toxic" has a strangely shaped head and has been called a good gator by his handlers who say he’ll come right up to you and try to eat you.

The Mile of Monsters stars 10 "monsters" for now but is scheduled to increase to 24 in the future. Come on over and spend the day at one of Florida’s original attractions. You can even eat some gator nuggets too!
