The color of blood depends on how much oxygen is in the blood; when here is plenty of oxygen, the blood is more reddish in color. The reason that this is so is because of a protein called HEMOGLOBIN, which carries the oxygen in your blood. When hemoglobin has a full oxygen load, it gives the blood a reddish color.
Egg Incubation. A female alligator lays between 35 and 90 eggs. Once the eggs are laid, she covers them with a layer of vegetation to keep them warm. The incubation period is 65 days and the temperature within in the nest plays a critical role during this time.
Baby alligators are called hatchlings. When hatchlings reach maturity, they grow to be approximately six feet long. Mature males are known as bulls, and mature females are referred to as cows. Alligators mate in the month of May. The females build nests and lay 20 to 50 eggs. The gender of a hatchling is determined by the temperature during the 65 days of egg incubation.
