Now, let\u2019s get into the juicy details about Big Moe. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Q: What is your favorite part of Alligator Alley? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> I love that here we are all friends. In the wild, it isn\u2019t as friendly and food is not as easy to come by. We alligators can go up to three years without eating, but we do get a little hangry if we don\u2019t eat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Q: How did you land the name Big Moe? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> Have you seen me?? I am HUGE! What else were they supposed to call me? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: You\u2019re so big, you must eat a lot. What is your favorite thing to eat? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> Captain Crunch and I both love feral pig leg. Every now and then we get into a little tussle over the last one at the feedings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Q: What\u2019s your favorite spot on the farm?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A: I like to hang out under the boardwalk. It gives me a great view of all of our guests coming to visit the farm. I pick up a few bits and pieces for my folk tale stories there from the guests\u2019 conversations. I am creative, so I like to mix them up and add in some more extravagant details! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
