Chomp

Usually found near the warm rocks by the back-nine bridge.

Wildlife Biography

Chomp is a veteran resident who spends 90% of his day basking in the Florida sun. Because of his calm nature, he is often the primary focus of photography workshops and reptile education talks at the park.

Chomp is extremely relaxed and ignores most movement around him, making him the easiest alligator to spot and photograph during a game of mini golf.
