Jojo is an approximately 8 foot long American Alligator. His travel from
Buffalo, NY to Tampa to become a resident at Croc Encounters in June of
2007 was a media sensation.
Even though our organization takes in alligators all the time, from all over
the country, Jojo captured the public’s attention. His story was unique.
The average length of incoming alligators is between 2-4 feet long. Jojo
was nearly 8! His owner illegally kept him as a pet in his basement in
Buffalo, NY. Because of the owner’s compliance with the Department of
Environmental Conservation in New York State, he was not brought up on
charges for this offense.
Jojo was not kept inhumanely, however he seems to truly enjoy being
kept in a large outdoor dirt pond in sunny Florida. He shares this pond
with a female – “Princess”.
