Swamp Ghost August 19, 2011

Surrounded by the mists of Creole legend and Bayou lore, they are the Zoo's newest attraction-white alligators. Our "swamp ghosts" are natural anomalies that are said to bring good luck to those that look them in the eye. Some plants, animals and even gems are said to bring good luck and fortune to those lucky enough to stumble across them. "Swamp Ghost" is a nickname for a white alligator.
