Bald
Head Island Alligators
Bald Head Island features
alligator mississippiensis. These prehistoric
reptiles are found mostly in the fresh water lagoons
surrounding the golf course. Bald Head Island
is the northern most area in North America to find alligators.
The alligator of Bald Head Island has been known to
cause some golf cart traffic jams during mating season.
Please do not try to feed these
creatures. Alligators are wild and can be very dangerous. They have been
inhabitants of this area far longer than vacationers, so give them a very wide berth. |
