It's time for another episode of Walkin' on the Wild Side! It's hard to believe, but we've never really explored the amazing alligator. An incredibly well adapted species that hasn't changed much from its ancestor over 200 million years ago, the American Alligator has survived two extinction events and human persecution to once again survive and thrive. Join Marvin and Gabrielle as they chat about this marvel of evolution, their biology, adaptations, and some great questions from Gabrielle!
