She makes it by burrowing into bank
OF soft mud, and sometimes 1t is 20
feet or more inland The only way to
get her out of den like that Is to
take long steel rod and thrust 1t
down the tunnel, which Is always
slanting. When the gator feels the
prodding she will come out to see
what the trouble Is. 1t takes alligator
eggs two months and six days to hatch.
When the little ones come out, the
mother calls them together by noise
which is something between a cluck
and grunt, and they all scramble
down from the nest to her den. II
1t is on the edge of a river. the den is
filled with minnows. As the mother
enters the den she swishes her tail
around with terrific force. killing the
smallest fish, and when they float the
little alligators nab them up.
"A mother alligator will sometimes
have four or five dens, and she takes
her brood from one to another, re-
peating the swishing process in each
one until the young ones have had a
