A female alligator realizes the swamp is warming up and it is spring. She can now leave her den and venture out to hunt for food. She finds a male alligator and soon she will be a mother. She digs a hole to lay her eggs and covers them with grass. She always stays close by and protects them. When she hears them hatching, she uncovers the nest. Mother alligator is gentle, caring and leads her babies to shallow water where they can hide and she can watch over them. Alligator babies immediately have to feed themselves. The babies stay with their mother for a year.
I really enjoyed Baby Alligator. The photographs were interesting, and amazing. Lang describes the danger and success of a growing baby alligator. Children will be intrigued to see such fearsome and cute creatures in real photographs.
