N. Louisiana welcomes two rare albino alligators

NATCHITOCHES, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — Gator Country in Natchitoches, Louisiana, welcomes two rare alligators into their reptile park.

Natchitoches Reptile Park named their two baby albino alligators Glacier and Yeti. Unfortunately, their white skin makes them obvious for prey to see and very sensitive to the sun.

Gator Country says visitors will be able to view the gators very soon.

“We’ll have this thing open, ready to go. Normally, we try to shoot on Monday, they can actually come up here and venture in here and take a look at them, versus all your green alligators. These guys are just really really amazing as far as being white. Who wouldn’t want to see a white alligator?” says Gator Country’s General Manager, Leonard Parfait.

Gator Country is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. General admission is $11 per person.
