Just about an hour outside of the center of New Orleans, things are even wilder than on Bourbon Street! Amid the moss-laden Cypress trunks, woodsy environs and watery avenues of Louisiana lurk the famed local fauna: lots and lots of Louisiana alligators. Louisiana's wild alligator population, in fact, is increasing at a rate faster than anywhere else in the world. To learn more about these fascinating creatures - and man's relation to them - consult the experts at a Louisiana alligator farm. Year-round, you can do it all with the gators: hatch 'em, feed 'em, eat 'em, hold 'em, even wear 'em. A visit to an alligator farm is an itinerary must for any nature lover's New Orleans visit.
