We had a WILD time with you at the 2025 Hatching Festival!
This past June, Gatorama celebrated a true milestone — the 75th birthday of our legendary “Killer Croc,” Goliath! Hatched in 1950, Goliath’s life is a remarkable story of dominance, survival, and raw prehistoric power.
Goliath came to Gatorama in 1968 as a young adult. For the first 30 years, he lived in the front pond among older Crocodiles and Alligators, where he quickly began to establish his dominance. Over time, his strength and territorial instincts made him the first in this unique croc colony — the only such colony in the U.S. — to claim the title of Alpha Male.
Brandon is an American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) who resides in the front pond at Gatorama. He is easily recognized by the round bulge on his body, which resembles a ball he “carries” everywhere he goes.
Brandon was brought to Gatorama in 2013 as a nuisance alligator after being captured at the Ortona Landfill by Allen and Ben Register. It is believed that during his time at the landfill, Brandon ingested plastic waste, resulting in a pocket of trapped air within his intestines. This unusual condition causes the visible round shape that makes him so recognizable today.
Discovered underneath a plane at MacDill Air Force Base in April, this massive 12 foot gator has been safely relocated to Gatorama Inc. in Palmdale. Renamed “Major MacDill”, the gator’s saga began on April 22 when he was found under a KC-135 Stratotanker.
After initially being released into the Hillsborough River by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC), the persistent gator reappeared at the base near a medical building on May 15. MacDill’s Facebook posts humorously dubbed him “Airman Ally Gator” and put him “in charge of the complaint department.”
Finally, wildlife officials brought Major MacDill to Gatorama, a more permanent and suitable home.
Gatorama, a family-owned animal park in Palmdale, Florida, is proud to share an exciting update on Georgie — the once “taped alligator” who found a safe home here in early 2023. After a remarkable recovery and steady growth, Georgie has now graduated to Gatorama’s front pond, where she actively participates in the park’s daily feed shows.
When Georgie first arrived at Gatorama, she was kept in her own private pond to rest, regain strength, and adjust to her new surroundings under the close supervision of our animal care team. Thanks to proper nutrition, expert care, and patience, Georgie has flourished — growing stronger, more confident, and ready to join our larger colony of alligators.
Don’t miss your chance to witness the remarkable one-of-a-kind sight of the leucistic pied alligator! Alongside this rare creature, our albino alligator will also be featured in this very special exhibit. With more than a million adult American alligators in the wild, only an estimated one hundred albinos and roughly twelve leucistic gators remain.
