Newport Aquarium’s rare white alligators got an early Christmas present from Scuba Santa today – a new home! Snowball and Snowflake were just introduced to the largest habitat in Gator Alley. Male alligators can be territorial and need a little extra time to adjust. The band on Snowball's snout is for his and Snowflake's safety for the first few hours while they get acclimated.
