Gatorland School of Croc™ Hits One Million Views, Launches Official T-Shirt
Park creates unique shirt by request of super fans tuning in from all over the world
ORLANDO, Florida (April 10, 2020) – You’d never know that Gatorland®, the “Alligator Capital of the World™”, has been temporarily closed since mid-March due to coronavirus advisories. The park’s new Facebook Live program, hosted by Savannah Boan and airing daily at 10 a.m., is up to one million views. Parents, children and families tuning in from all over the world love the fun and exclusive animal learning time so much they have been posting and messaging for weeks, asking for their very own School of Croc™ T-shirt.
That request is now reality, as Gatorland has just launched the online sale of the School of Croc T-shirt, designed by the program’s own Cameraman Dan. Adults and children sizes can be ordered through the Gatorland gift shop online. Gatorland Gift Shop
“Our super fans are incredible. Parents and kids from all over the U.S. and abroad are telling us how much they love learning from Savannah, our awesome animal team, and all our unique animals,” exclaimed Mark McHugh, Gatorland’s President and CEO. “Kids and adults are joining our School of Croc “nation,” and asking for t-shirts to show their support. It has been amazing to see all the stories people are sharing about their relationship with the show.”
The School of Croc Facebook Live program airs every day, Monday through Saturday at 10 a.m., on Gatorland’s Facebook Page, hosted by Savannah Boan, the park’s Crocodilian Enrichment Coordinator and Social Media Director.
