RESIDENT GATORS

Big Padre

Big Padre, the most beloved alligator in Port Arthur, was a frequent visitor to the local boat dock, where he would receive scraps from the friendly fishermen. However, one day, he approached a tourist's boat and rested his head on the side, causing a bit of a stir. The gentleman called Texas Parks and Wildlife and Big Padre, unfortunately, had to be removed. However, we are delighted to have Big Padre under our care, where he can live his days in comfort!
