Armand Bayou’s alligators are not only impressive tunnel architects but also skilled chemists.

Alligator tunnels can be up to 65 ft long! Alligators also make their own natural sunscreen called gadusol. Other animals that produce gadusol include rainbow trout, green sea turtles, and chickens. Photo by Tyson Vodochodsky
