Today we found ourselves in Hammond Lousiana... To the best of our knowledge the only and really interesting attraction is the Klieberts Alligator Farm! We really had no idea what to expect. Of course we love that! A 45min-1 hour tour turned into a 5 hour stop hanging out with T-Mike the great grandson of the original founder of the farm and costar of the TV show "Swamp People" we enjoyed the tour about turtles alligators crockadiles goats parrots snakes raccoons and a few animals we can't pronounce! The tour was a contrast of large and small alligators accompanied by stories about the history of the farm and interesting details about alligators. The guide Mr Richard is actually missing his fingers on one hand from a alligator bite almost a year ago to the day. Overall... The friendliness, knowledge, chance to see alligators, and the additional private tour of the processing room was an enjoyable event here in bayou country! The southern Cajun hospitality is always enjoyed and appreciated!
Adventure parrot watched an alligator get processed too! We had no idea they fill the alligator with compressed air to skin them.... Very interesting to watch. We appreciate that the skinned alligators were caught in the bayou and not farms for food!
What an adventure at #kliebertsAligatorfarm in the bayou of
