KENANSVILLE, Fla. — Few animals symbolize the Sunshine State quite like the American alligator, and at Wild Florida Adventure Park, visitors can get an up-close look at these powerful reptiles — including one that looks dramatically different from almost every alligator you’ll ever see in the wild.
Meet Frostbite, Wild Florida’s albino alligator.
American alligators are native to Florida and can be found throughout the state’s freshwater lakes, ponds, rivers, swamps and marshes. Adult males can grow to more than 10 feet long, with especially large individuals reaching even greater lengths.
But Frostbite stands apart.
Unlike the dark coloration normally associated with American alligators, albino alligators lack the pigmentation that gives typical gators their familiar appearance. Their light skin and distinctive eyes make them exceptionally unusual — and an unforgettable sight for visitors.
Frostbite is one of the many reasons families can experience much more than the Florida landscape during a visit to Wild Florida’s Gator Park.
Guests can explore the park and see alligators along with an assortment of native and exotic animals while learning more about the wildlife that calls Florida — and places around the world — home.
Want to see alligators in an entirely different setting? Add an airboat adventure to the day.
Wild Florida’s airboat tours travel through the Headwaters of the Florida Everglades, giving guests an opportunity to experience Central Florida’s wetlands and potentially spot wild alligators, birds and other wildlife in their natural surroundings.
Visitors can also take their own vehicle through Wild Florida’s Drive-thru Safari Park, where animals including giraffes, zebras, bison, wildebeest and other species can be seen across the sprawling safari.
That means one trip to Kenansville can take visitors from meeting Frostbite to exploring the Gator Park, driving through a safari and speeding across the water aboard an airboat.
