Almost 200 alligators call Critchlow Alligator Sanctuary home. The smallest are only a foot or two long but the largest, named Medusa, is 11 feet long and is expected to keep growing. The sanctuary takes in around 20 to 30 new alligators each year. Many of those are pets from people who are unable or unwilling to care for growing gators, but some are captured by animal control officers from around the Midwest and brought to the sanctuary.
