Mystic, an extremely rare white leucistic alligator, and her brother, Mayhem, can now be seen every day in their beautiful habitat in the White Gator Swamp.
Gatorland, the “Alligator Capital of the World,” is excited to present to the public for the very first time, daily viewing of Mystic and Mayhem, two of the rarest alligators in the world.
Mystic is the only white, leucistic alligator ever hatched outside of the swamps of Louisiana, and the only baby leucistic ever displayed to the public.
Mystic and her normal-colored brother, Mayhem, now reside in a $50,000 specially-built habitat that protects their skin and features ultraviolet lighting to assist them with normal growth and vitamin production.
This beautiful, temperature controlled home is designed with two large water features so they can swim together or hang out in their own pool.
“This is incredibly special for us here at Gatorland to have these two amazing, rare baby alligators in public view in our White Gator Swamp,” exclaimed Mark McHugh, President & CEO of Gatorland. “Our visitors get to experience something they will never see anywhere else but here at Gatorland. Mystic and Mayhem are just steps away from our adult leucistic gators so guests can see the babies, then turn around and see the giant adults.”
Mystic weighs in at 177 grams and is 420 mm long. Her little brother Mayhem weighs 146 grams and is 400 mm long.
They eat bite-size pieces of raw chicken and tiny Croc Chow pellets made to supplement their nutrition. Gatorland’s animal care staff also takes them outside for additional enrichment.
