Just a few fascinating alligator facts…
The gender of an alligator is determined by the temperature of egg incubation. If the temperature is less than 86 °F, they will all be females; if the temperature is greater than 93 °F, only males will be produced; and a temperature from 86°F - 93 °F produces a mixture of male and female. Baby alligators typically stay with their mother for 1 to 3 years. Age does not define sexual mature, link does. The American alligator is sexually mature at about six feet long.
