Creature Comforts

The American alligator is the largest reptile in North America. In Mississippi, they're most prevalent in the southern two-thirds of the state, but can be found in most parts of Mississippi. Today, the Alligator Program Coordinator, Ricky Flint, for Mississippi Wildlife, Fisheries, & Parks, joins the show to discuss what to do if you spot an alligator and how to safely participate in the alligator season. As always, Dr. Troy Majure, DVM, with the Animal Medical Center, is here if you have any concerns about your furry friends or general wildlife experiences and Libby Hartfield likes to hear your encounters with nature.
