Wildlife Biography

Snappy is an adolescent female alligator known for her speed. She holds the park record for the highest vertical jump during supervised feeding shows, launching nearly 4 feet out of the water.

Snappy is incredibly agile. She is one of the few alligators in the lagoon who can jump vertically out of the water from a stationary floating position.
