Gatorama’s legendary “Killer Croc,” Goliath, is turning 75. Hatched in 1950, Goliath’s story is one of dominance, survival, and awe-inspiring power.
Goliath came to Gatorama in 1968 as a young adult. He spent the first 30 years living in the front pond, socializing with the older Crocodiles and Alligators. Over time, Goliath began to establish his dominance over territory and animals in the pond. He was the first of this croc colony, the only such colony in the U.S., to take the Alpha Male Title.
From now through June 2025, Gatorama will be honoring our apex predator with special activities and events to mark this milestone. Plus, anyone born in 1950 will receive FREE admission!
Discovered underneath a plane at MacDill Air Force Base in April, this massive 12 foot gator has been safely relocated to Gatorama Inc. in Palmdale. Renamed “Major MacDill”, the gator’s saga began on April 22 when he was found under a KC-135 Stratotanker.
After initially being released into the Hillsborough River by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC), the persistent gator reappeared at the base near a medical building on May 15. MacDill’s Facebook posts humorously dubbed him “Airman Ally Gator” and put him “in charge of the complaint department.”
Finally, wildlife officials brought Major MacDill to Gatorama, a more permanent and suitable home.
Gatorama, a family-owned animal park in Palmdale, Florida, has announced that Georgie, the taped alligator, has found a new home. Ben Register, general manager at Gatorama, quickly checked on Georgie as soon as he arrived at work this morning.
“She is doing well so far and will be offered a feeding as soon as the day warms up,” said Register. “Even though she probably won’t eat for a few days due to the stress of being moved and the ordeal she been through.”
At Gatorama, Georgie will be provided quality care and treated with respect by experienced personnel who understand how to handle large reptiles properly.
Don’t miss your chance to witness the remarkable one-of-a-kind sight of the leucistic pied alligator! Alongside this rare creature, our albino alligator will also be featured in this very special exhibit. With more than a million adult American alligators in the wild, only an estimated one hundred albinos and roughly twelve leucistic gators remain.
