 | The temperature of the nest that holds alligator eggs will most often control whether an alligator is male or female! If the egg is in 90 degrees or higher it will produce a male. However, if the egg is in 82-86 degrees, it will make a female. If nests are created on leaves, the eggs are in a much hotter location. If the nests are on wet marshes, it is cooler. Therefore, more males hatch on leaves and females on the marsh! |
