Louisiana's Rockefeller Refuge: EH TOl! A MARSH PRIMEVAL WITH ALLIGATORS GALORE

摘要

GIVE SOME THOUGHT to Jimmy when you visit the Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge, a 76,000-acre wetland that rims Louisiana's Gulf Coast. He is, after all, one of the biggest and oldest American alligators, grandfather to numerous offspring. At age 50, Jimmy weighs more than 800 pounds and measures nearly 14 feet in length. He'd be even longer if a rival hadn't bitten off a piece of his tail during one of the annual mating wars.
