Ripley’s Believe It or Not has a snap-tacular new exhibition this season, a 14ft swamp alligator!

Believe it or not but there have been an unbelievable 356 attacks on humans from alligators since 1950! Our new gator, native to Florida has thankfully never attacked a human, this alligator prefers the taste of golf balls!

Ripley’s gator took up residence in a water hazard off the 14th hole of a golf course. It seems his strange appetite resulted in his downfall as the cause of death was put down to a diet of more than 200 indigestible golf balls!

This amazing animal is now on display along with many other incredible artefacts including a floating tap and a model of the world’s tallest man!

Ripley’s Believe it or Not is located on Ocean Boulevard by the Pleasure Beach. For the latest information and discount offers visit www.ripleysblackpool.com
