Inside California Alligator Farm where kids could ride and play with alligators, 1920s

Inside California Alligator Farm where kids could ride and play with alligators, 1920s





Between 1907 and 1953, patrons of Los Angeles' California Alligator Farm mingled freely with trained gators — and sometimes even ate lunch with them.⁠
Experience more of the strangest photos from the archives of history and learn the fascinating stories behind them by visiting the link in our profile.⁠

In 1907, Joseph “Alligator Joe” Campbell and Francis Victor Earnest Sr. relocated an alligator farm in Hot Springs, Arkansas, to a Los Angeles location adjacent to the Selig Zoo and Motion Picture Studio in Los Angeles. The Alligator farm rented reptiles to the motion picture industry.

The farm moved to Buena Park in Orange County in May 1953 and continued to operate as California Alligator Farm until 1984, when its lease was not renewed

Four buildings on the farm contained more than 100 displays of snakes and lizards from throughout the world. The farm contained snapping turtles, giant tortoises, and more than 1,000 specimens in what was called the largest reptile collection in the world.

The original admission was just 25 cents, visitors could peruse alligator handbags in the gift shop, watch a trained gator slide down a 16-foot chute, or take pictures of their children riding atop the animals. At one point, the alligator park was one of Los Angeles’s most popular tourist attractions.

A promotional brochure for the Farm claimed: “Here are to be seen hundreds of alligators of all sizes, from little babies, hardly the size of a lizard, up to huge monsters, 500 years old or more.” This is inaccurate, as an American alligator will expire at around 50 years of age.

The alligators were segregated according to size in a series of twenty ponds. They would range in size from just a few inches up to thirteen feet.

A 1910 article by Arthur Inkersley in Overland Monthly describes how the alligators were captured, how the eggs were incubated, and even how the animals exercised.

“With a strong line and a big steel nook baited with pork, it is as easy to catch an alligator as to catch a trout with a minnow,” Inkersley wrote, “but you must know what to do with your alligator when you have caught him.”

Despite signs admonishing visitors not to “throw stones at the alligators, spit on, punch or molest them in any way,” adults and children regularly handled alligators at the farm. Some were even stolen by college pranksters.

These pictures taken on the Los Angeles Alligator Farm show people interacting with the alligators in all sorts of ways. Young children can be seen playing with baby gators or watching them at a very close distance.

Visitors could even enjoy alligator rides, where children could sit in a specially made saddle and ride the gators around in the ponds. One of the highlights of the park was watching the keepers lure the alligators up a set of stairs before they cruised down a 16-foot slide into a pool of water.

The gators became a bit of a neighborhood nuisance with their loud nocturnal calls. Moreover, when rain flooded the nearby reservoir, the water overflowed into the farm giving the alligators the chance to make repeated forays into neighborhood canals, backyards, and occasionally swimming pools.

By the 1950s, the zoo moved to Buena Park, but the novelty had worn off. The attraction was shut down in 1984 after attendance dropped below 50,000 persons annually (and the lease was not renewed). The alligators were sold to a private estate in Florida.

10 BIZARRE UNSOLVED CRIMES FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Most of the crime thrillers of the world are inspired by reality. For crime thriller addicts, it can be interesting to know that many such crimes have been unresolved. These are the crimes where all investigations were futile, and the police could hardly provide an explanation. In this listicle, we’ve detailed 10 such bizarre  unsolved crimes  from around the world. 1. The Setagaya Family Massacre took place in Tokyo, Japan, where four members were assassinated, and the murderer stayed in the house for several hours, leaving much DNA evidence – yet, the killer remained unidentified.  On 31 December 2000, Mikio Miyazawa, along with his wife and two children, were murdered in their Setagaya-based home in western Tokyo.

The murderer used the home computer, pr...

Mixed or same sex schools: Before you choose

Mixed School Vs Single-Sex School -    Mixed School Vs Single-Sex School -    Mixed-sex education, also known as mixed-gender education, co-education, or coeducation (abbreviated to co-ed or coed), is a system of education where males and females are educated together.  Whereas Single-sex education, also known as single-gender education and gender-isolated education, is the practice of conducting education with male and female students attending separate classes, perhaps in separate buildings or schools.  The practice of single-sex schooling was common before the 20th century, particularly in secondary and higher education.

11 SIGNS YOU’RE IN A BAD RELATIONSHIP (BUT DON’T WANT TO ADMIT IT)

A Poisonous relationship can alter our perception. You can spend many years thinking you’re worthless. But you’re not worthless. You’re underappreciated.” – Steve Maraboli Being in a bad or toxic relationship is often something that we don’t realize that we’re in until we’re out of it. Bad relationships can invade every other aspect of our lives, from our friendships to our family relationships. They can make you feel depressed or anxious for no reason. Marriage & family therapist and author Darlene Lancer, JD, MFT says, “Healthy relationships nourish and support us. A toxic relationship, on the other hand, is like poison to us — instead of lifting us up, it makes us feel worse. When it ends, we might experience post-traumatic stress or a lessening of self-esteem and trust in ourselves and others.” When you’re in a bad relationship, you’re probably ignoring all the signs – it’s what we do as humans to protect ourselves. If you’re in a toxic relationship, you may notice th...

A woman with a giant belly that weighs 15 kilos and keeps on growing

A woman with a giant belly that weighs 15 kilos and keeps on growing  When you get sick, you expect to be able to go to the doctor and have him tell you what’s wrong, give you medication, and send you home. But what if the doctor has no idea what’s wrong with you either? This Chinese woman had a giant belly that already weighed 19 kilos and kept growing, and no one knew what the cause was. Wang Gao Xiang was young, only 34 years old, and in the prime of her life. She had two children and was happy, living in Dashi village outside Anchoon City, a rural province.

But one day her belly became a little swollen and painful. Wang was worried and knew this was not normal, so she visited her doctor. The doctor infected her abdomen, wrote a report, and gave her some painkillers that helped control the pain. But the swelling was not going do...

TIPS TO A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE

Around the world there's a lot of confusion about what is a marriage, what is a healthy marriage?                               But I believe that every human being is created to have a desire to be married and some have a desire to be single. But most of you want to be married. So what does a healthy marriage look like, and why is there so much confusion about this topic of marriage and family? Well there are three things that you need to understand when you get married. One, is the whole idea of commitment. Commitment for the rest of your life to this one person. Now it's an investment of your life into them but it's an investment of their life into your life. And so you make each other lives even better. I often tell people that when they get married and they know the Lord as their God than they have a triune relationship. They have the husband and they have the wife and they have God involved.

August 8, 1982. A line drive foul ball hits a four year old boy in the head at Fenway

August 8, 1982. A line drive foul ball hits a four year old boy in the head at Fenway August 8, 1982. A line drive foul ball hits a four year old boy in the head at Fenway. Jim Rice, realizing in a flash that it would take EMTs too long to arrive and cut through the crowd, sprang from the dugout and scooped up the boy. He laid the boy gently on the dugout floor, where the Red Sox medical team began to treat him.  When the boy arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later, doctors said, without a doubt that Jim's prompt actions saved the boy's life. Jim returned to the game in a blood-stained uniform. A real badge of courage. After visiting the boy in the hospital, and realizing the family was of modest means, he stopped by the business office and instructed that the bill be sent to him!

When People Ate People, A Strange Disease Emerged

When People Ate People, A Strange Disease Emerged Kuru is a very rare disease, caused by an infectious protein found in contaminated human brain tissue. It is found among people from New Guinea who practiced a form of cannibalism in which they ate the brains of dead people as part of a funeral ritual. This practice stopped in 1960, but cases of Kuru were reported for many years afterward because the disease has a long incubation period. Kuru is caused by the same type of protein-damaging prion as mad cow disease. Kuru is a rare, incurable, and fatal neurodegenerative disorder that was formerly common among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. Kuru is a form of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) caused by the transmission of abnormally folded proteins (prions), which leads to symptoms such as tremors and loss of coordination from neurodegeneration. The term kuru derives from the Fore word kuria or guria ("to shake"), due to the body tremors that are a classic sympt...
