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.
Male alligators can grow up to 16 feet in length, although 14 footers are rare, and female alligators can grow up to 10 feet. After breeding, females lay an average of 35 to 40 eggs that incubate for about 65 days. Alligators are about eight to ten inches in length when born.
