The label copy at Gatorland is something else! I love the voice & how the text meets the audience where they’re at & is approachable overall. Only an instance or two where they took things a bit too far.

No photo: a sign “don’t feed the wild birds, they poop where they eat”. Effective!

CROCODILES AND EMUS ARE RELATED?
Numerous well-respected publications such as National Geographic, Scientific American, and Highlights Kids have done articles detailing
ANZU WyLEr
PREHISTORIC THEROPOD
the similarities between living birds such as Emus, and dinosaurs.
MODERN EMU
We googled these articles and skimmed through them so now we are experts on this subject.
Recently discovered bird-like dinosaurs, such as the Anz u Wylei, have caused scientists to realize that emus have feet and legs that are very similar to that of theropods, or three-toed dinosaurs. (We googled that too.) That means that by studying the movements of Emus and Ostriches, we can get insight into how certain dinosaurs walked and ran when they were alive.
The fy teams on the Jurassic Park movies used Emus as the model for movements for theropods such as Velociraptors and Tyrantosaurus rex.
In 2008, Arkhat Abz hanoy, a Biologist at Harvard UnVersity, was elbow deep in Alligator eggs. Since Alligators descend from a common ancestor with dinosaurs, they can provide a useful evolutionary comparison to birds.
Despite their appearance, birds are more closely related to alligators than lizards are...Crazy Right??!! 6
Crocodiles are the closest iving relatives of birds, sharing a common ancestor that lived around 240 Million years ago. So Crocodiles and Emus really are related!

MISUNDERSTOOD MONSTERS
Only found in the Orinoco river basin in Venez uela and the Meta river basin in Colombia, these crocs are considered to be one of the most critically endangered species of crocodiles in the world. Like most endangered species, encroachment by humans into their habitat plays a critical roll in their declining numbers, however, these crocs were also extensively hunted by humans for their skins, meat, and teeth, all of which were believed to have medicinal benefits.
There is poor documentation about Orinoco Crocodiles in the wild due to their small numbers aid dense habitats. There are many misconceptions about them.
For example, despite their massive size and fierce looks, they rarely pose
threats to humans. Being a crocodile, they are opportumstic hunters who prey on birds, reptiles, and small mammals such as Capybaras. That's why we Keep our Capys on the other
side of the park hidden with the Flamingos. Venezuelar Locals blame the Oritocos for fish shortages, however, Orinocos mainly eat predatory fish, such as peacock bass and the Brazilian tucunaré, meaning they may be helpful to local fishermar after all.
Although the largest Known male Onitoco Crocodle measured in at 22 feet, today, most Oritoco crocodiles come it at16 feet ir length That's still big. The Orinoco Crocodile rarks amongst the largest iving reptiles as well as the largest predator in the Americas. They can be recognized by their relatively long snout, which contains 68 teeth. When water recedes in the dry season, the crocs retreat into burrows that they excavate in the hiver banks. Adults mate during the drier period of the year and the males attract the females by roaring. The females often outnumber males and appear to select the males with the deepest roars. The Orinoco crocodile. is a hole-nester, and they usually make their nests on a sand bank where the eggs incubate for 3 months. Young Unitoco crocs are often at risk from predation by…

SHHH... WE'RE ON A DATE
FOR HUMANS, WHEN YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR DATE YOU CAN JUST GHOST THEM.
WHEN CROCS DON'T LIKE THEIR DATE THINGS CAN GET REAL UGLy.
