Alligator Hatching 01

Baby alligators hatch fast in comparison to pythons. Usually, it will take me "only" a few hours to film the hatching of an entire alligator nest. The hatchlings make use of their tinny but sharp egg tooth to cuts through the egg shell from inside. The bridle shell cracks and eventually brakes apart due to the alligator's constant movements. This is truly an exhausting task for any baby alligator. Hence, the babies take periodically naps to regain new energy before shedding of the entire egg shell. Female alligators guard their nests well, help their newborn during the hatching and carry them to the safety of the near by water. She will protect her young from any predators for at least the next twelve months. The hatching of american alligator was filmed by Heiko Kiera in 2010.
