WATS OF ALLIGATORS
THE SAURIAN AT CLOSE RANGE ?N
HIS FLORIDA HOME.
How the Female "L&ys Her Eggs and Cares
For Her Young-A Mother Will Fight
Anything That Threatens Her Babies.
Diet and Luxuries of Alligators.
One of the sights mest eagerly watch?
ed for by the newly arrived Florida vis?
itor, as he glides over the lakes and
rivers of that genial land, is the alliga?
tor. A few years ago this desire was
easily gratified, but the great saurian is
comparatively rare nowadays along the
older routes of travel. This is due partly
to the bullets of the visitors and partly
to the shots and traps of the more legit?
imate alligator hunter, who finds in
that pursuit the chief means of support
for himself and his family.
It is in the dense fastnesses of the in?
land swamps and everglades that alli?
gators may be seen in great numbers cn
a bright day, basking in the sunshine.
They are gregarious and love to assem?
ble in such places, where they bring
their two rows of strong teeth together
with a prodigious clatter and roar with
a noise that resembles thunder.
The female makes her nest m the sand
near .the water's edge, scraping a hole
with her paws and dropping the eggs in
a regular layer. Then she scrapes grass,
leaves, mud and sand over them, on
these places another layer, and so con?
tinues alternate layers until thc nest
contains from 30 to 40 eggs. As the hole
is rarely deep enough to hold all these,
the result is a decided mound easily de?
tected by the experienced hunter, who
finds ready sale for the eggs as curiosi?
ties. They are white, hard shelled and
rather larger than a hen's egg. "If he
prefers to await their hatching, he se?
cures a fine lot of little alligators, for
which also there is alwnys a ready sale.
While she thus leaves her prospective
children to the doubtful guardianship
of the earth, the mother does not desert
them Patiently she keeps watch over
the nest in which they lie, never allow?
ing that mcKmd of sand to be long out
of her sight. How she knows exactly
when the little folk are ready, like the
emancipated chicken, to step cut of their
shells and take their first peep at the
world, who shall say? But, all tho same,
it-is a fact that, however far afield her
excursions may previously have been,
the day and the hour cf that happy
event in her family circle find her on
the spot ready to gather the little ones
under her wing, as it were, and lead
them to their future home in the water
that lies before them
This watchful care the mother con?
tinues until her babies are old enough to
forage for themselves and their scales
are firm enough to enable them to dis?
pense with, her protection. The extent
to which the young alligators or croco?
diles require this watchful care can
hardly be realized by those that are not
familiar with their habits, for the little
ones are terribly persecuted by birds and
beasts and even by their kinsmen, the
bull alligators, which sometimes eat a
dozen or two cf their own children at a
meal The mother on such occasions
has been known to turn and fight the
unnatural monsters with such f:3ry as to
?ut them to iiight. Ir. is not only the
bull alligator that she will attack when
alarmed for the safety cf her young-she
often holds the most experienced hunt?
ers at bay until lier little charges have
time to flee to a place of safety.
The sight presented by the mother,
surrounded and followed by a whole
brood- of her little ones, is a pleasing
one, but let an enemy come in view and
the scene ceases to be pleasant. In the
twinkling of an eye the little ones dash
away into the mysterious shadows, and
the placid mother becomes transformed
into a raging fury, fairly churning the
quiet waters into waves in her mad rush
to do battle with the intruders. Without
this incentive of maternal affection,
however, it is but seldom that an alli?
gator or a crocodile attacks a human be?
ing.
The lower animals are less fortunate.
Cattle in the far south, where the open
ranges and shallow waters extend a
tempting invitation to roam, are some?
times seen with shortened tails, an ab?
breviation for which the wily alligator
is responsible. Pigs rooting too near the
water's edge and unobservant of the log?
like form lying close at s their side are
often caught by a lightninglike sweep of
the alligator's formidable tail.
But the most cherished of all tidbits
to an alligator is a nice, plump dog.
The saurian's peculiar attraction toward
this animal is so well known to hunters
that they frequently imitate the yelp of
a dog to entice their prey within range,
and the call never fails of its purpose.
The squeal cf a pig is almost as effec?
tive.
These dainty bits, however, are rath?
er in the line of luxuries. For a steady,
everyday diet the alligator depends up?
on fish, and it haunts those localities in
rivers or lakes where its .tural prey
mest abounds. It catchy the fish by
diving swiftly under a passing shoal
and snatching two or three, in its open
jaws as it passes through the shoal.
Then, rising to the surface, it tosses
them^in the air, for the purpose of eject?
ing the water that has entered its mouth
along with the fish, aud adroitly catches
them in their descent.-Helen Harcourt
in Philadelphia Times.
