Travels with Gannon and Wyatt: Botswana Book Synopsis:

When twin brothers Gannon and Wyatt arrive in Botswana for an African safari, they get much more adventure than they bargained for. After receiving word that a poacher has shot and wounded a lioness, they set off into the wild in the hopes of saving the mother and her cubs before the poacher finishes the job. While on this amazing journey, they encounter all of Africa’s Big Five—elephants, rhinos, Cape buffaloes, leopards, and lions—only to discover that the most dangerous predator in the African bush is not the king of beasts, but man himself.

ORLANDO, FL.: After some intense deliberation, the team at Gatorland has selected the name Trezo Je, submitted by Alisa King of Orlando, as the official name of the fourth giant, white leucistic alligator located at the White Gator Swamp at Gatorland.  

“When I read about the leucistic alligators’ arrival at Gatorland, the article in the Orlando Sentinel really emphasized their eyes stating that good luck may come to those who gaze into them; so I began thinking of different words associated with good luck  and the word ‘treasure’ soon became a focal point,” states King. “In the Cajun language the name ‘Trezo Je’ means ‘treasures eye’; a perfect name for this beautiful, rare reptile.” 

The contest launched a nationwide hunt for the perfect name for this rare, ten foot alligator in the spotlight, and a chance to get up-close and personal with one of the white alligators featured in the White Gator Swamp at Gatorland.  Hordes of entries from across the country were submitted and from those, the name Trezo Je was selected as our winner.  

Alisa and her family will take part in a ceremony officially naming the incredible alligator on Sunday, August 16 at 12:30pm. Her visit will include the first one-on-one encounter by a guest inside of den of the huge reptile with alligator expert Mike Hileman, Director of Entertainment at Gatorland.
