Jojo is a male American Alligator who is approximately 9 feet long. His travel from Buffalo, NY to Tampa in June of 2007 was a media sensation. Even though our organization takes in alligators all the time, from all over the country, Jojo captured the public’s attention. His story was unique.
At the time the average length of incoming alligators was between 2-4 feet Long, but Jojo was nearly 8! His owner illegally kept him as a pet in his basement in Buffalo, NY. Because of the owner’s compliance with the Department of Environmental Conservation in New York State, he was not brought up on charges for this offense.
Jojo was not kept inhumanely, however he seems to truly enjoy being kept in a large outdoor dirt pond in sunny Florida. He shares this large pond with several other alligators.
