Watch American alligator eggs hatch in the wild. The temperature of the nest determines the sex of the hatchlings. As they instinctively head towards the water they have lots of predators on the way looking for an easy snack, in-cluding raccoons, birds and even other gaitors

Awaiting nearby is mama gaitor who will try to protect her Young through the most vulnerable time of their early lives.
