Amos is an American Alligator and the first that ever would call Croc
Encounters home. He is not just an alligator though, he is not only the
largest at the sanctuary at 9 feet long, but also the one that got the
founders of Croc Encounters – John and Laura Paner – to establish the
organization.
This distinction is why he appears on the front of our promotional flyers.
Amos was originally kept as a pet in Ambridge, PA by a family. After 2.5
years in a small fish tank, Amos was quickly outgrowing his space. That is
when his owners decided to place him with us. Amos is now over 9 feet
long and living in a spacious outdoor pond.
