A simple and fun explanation about alligator eggs lying in the sand and the baby alligators that hatch from them, perfect for young children.
Hi there! Let's learn about alligator babies and where they come from.
Alligator mommies lay their eggs in the sand or dirt near water. They make a special nest by piling up leaves and mud to keep the eggs safe and warm.
Inside those eggs, little baby alligators grow. When they are ready, tiny alligators hatch out of the eggs. The babies use a little tooth to crack open the eggshell.
You might see eggs lying in the sand with small baby alligators just coming out. The baby alligators are very small and need to be careful to stay safe until they grow bigger.
It's like when a bird hatches from an egg, but for baby alligators!
