ALL1eAroRs IN CAPTIVITY.
Not Hard to Raise, but Are Cannibals
and Eat Their Young.
From Scientific American.

From Scientific American
Probably as long as alligators have been
known the young have been kept as cur'osl-
ties. and most amusing pets do the little
fellows make. Unlike the young OF other
wild animals. which are sometimes domes-
ticated when small they grow very slowly,
especially when out of their natural envir-
onment and are consequently well adapted
for this purpose, as a number Of years
elapse before the alligator Is large enough
to be troublesome or even dangerous. ALI
gators do not appear to be very intelligent.
the recognition of the person who feeds
them in captivity being about the limit of
their mental attainment. The older ones
are sluggish and lazy, though they some
times fight viciously with each other and
are capable of doing terrible execution when
aroused.
If properly taken care of, the young alii-
gator. will thrive even in unnatural cir
cuLnstances. His main requirement Is suf-
f1cent heat, and If the box cage be kept
at too low a temperature the little reptile
becomes languid am almost torpid, refuses
to eat for long periods, and frequently dies
at the end of some weeks. IT, however, the
temperature of the air be raised, or the
tank wherein he lies be warmed by the
addition of little hot water he soon re-
wives and attests his continued interest in
life by renewed activity and the reappear-
ance of his appetite. Unlike the older MEM
bers of his family, the young gator in cap
tivity is quite lively; sometimes of an in
vestigating turn of mind, and usually COM
bative, his antics are often diverting. If
he can escape from his cage he will travel
considerable distances, and unless overcome
by cold will wander indefinitely, subsisting
as best he can.
Many people who have attempted to keep
young alligators have made the mistake of
trying to feed them on a vegetable diet, for
the alligator is first and last a carnivore
The diet of the young, who should be fed
nearly every day. is simple. and consists of
bits of fresh meat, insects and worms. They
often show great fondness for the ordinary
earthworms, and will frequently refuse all
food but these. The larger specimens IL
captivity are fed about three times a week
on fresh meat or small live animals and
they require little attention other than this
The older ones, particularly the males
will. If possible, eat the small alligators
with avidity. and to check these cannibaI-
istic tendencies the reptiles must be prop
erly segregated.
Aligators seldom breed in captivity, and
while the females sometimes lay eggs. the
latter are usually unfertile. However, the
eggs that have been found in a natural con-
dition in the curious cone-shaped mud
nests are easily Matched by the application
of heat. and while the young are at first
feeble and helpless, they usually survive IL
carefully handled. Aligators live to be OF
great age, and there are a I,amber of au-
thentic records where individuals have been
known to exist for nearly century.
