American Alligator — Lacoste
Psst… want to meet a real-life dragon cousin with scales that shimmer like treasure? Come and meet American Alligator — better known here as Lacoste — a treasured resident of our tropical sanctuary in Epping. Stand quietly, watch closely, and you might spot a blink, a stretch, or a cheeky scramble that makes you fall in love in five seconds flat. Behind every smile is a story. Animals like American Alligator often arrive because a home changed, a rescue needed space, or someone realised wild beauty deserves expert care. We promise warmth, the right food, enrichment and keepers who know each personality. When a child presses their nose to the glass and whispers ‘hello’, that second chance becomes a lifelong memory — for them and for American Alligator. The American alligator, sometimes referred to as a common alligator or just gator, is a large crocodilian reptile native to the Southeastern United States. It is one of the two extant species in the genus Alligator, and is larger than the only other living alligator species, the Chinese alligator. Adults often remember: Crocodilian native to the Southeastern United States. At Get To Know Animals we turn those wild facts into daily care — the right heat, humidity, UV where needed, climbing or digging space, and food that matches what American Alligators evolved to eat. It costs over £35,000 every month to feed, heat and care for 300+ animals. UVB bulbs alone can cost £20–£40 each and need regular replacing; add heat mats, live feeders, vet checks and tropical electricity and one reptile room becomes a serious bill. Adopting American Alligator, sponsoring a meal, funding the wish list or joining Patreon isn’t ‘extra’ — it’s how American Alligator eats next Tuesday when the weather is quiet and the till is slow. You can help today: adopt American Alligator, buy a treat, play Get To Feed Animals, or become a monthly patron. Every pound is love you can measure in full bowls, warm lamps and wagging (or flicking) tails.
