There was no blog post yesterday like we normally do for science because we've been working very hard on a project on a website for a certain animal at the Fresno Chaffe Zoo. Time flew, but I'm pretty sure we did just fine. The worst part was we got the most boring animal ever, the American Alligator. It just sat there. We had to stand there for like 5 minutes and take notes on its behaviors. Seriously?? It did nothing! We left for a few minutes and when we came back, he/she had moved from the water to the grass, but we didn't see it move.
I learned a lot from this project. I mean, I had the basic idea of an alligator and its behaviors. Like it eats zebras, which is messed up because I love zebras (they're white with black stripes, by the way). I was surprised because I thought they were more active. The alligator did nothing, which was disappointing, but overall, the trip was fun. The research we did made the alligator seem very nice and tame, but you have to remember what dangerous animals they are. A lot of people get attacked, and that is never good. The research definitely changed my view of the animal. They aren't as bad as they seem. They are actually pretty interesting. Not in person, of course; they're super boring in person. The alligator was very long; it had to have been at least 7 feet long. It was very cool. Good thing it wasn't hiding like a lot of other animals were.
