Special to the Opelika Observer
The KPNC alligator habitat finally has a resident for this year. Each year from March to October, an alligator on loan from Alligator Alley in Summerdale calls the preserve home. This little guy is between one to two years old and will be available for visitors to see every day in its habitat adjacent to the main pavilion.
