NAPLES, Fla. (AP) - Add a dozen alligators to the Naples Zoo's collection.
The alligators have joined the nine other gators who already lived at the southwest Florida zoo.
The seven male and five female alligators, ranging from six to ten years old, were transported from St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park this weekend.
Naples Zoo officials say the expansion is part of the zoo's goal of educating the public on the official state reptile.
St. Augustine, which also provided three alligators to Naples Zoo six years ago, has more than 650 alligators at its zoo.
