A returning favorite from the original Steinhart Aquarium, the Swamp contains two American alligators — one of which is albino — and several alligator snapping turtles. Visitors can view the animals from the surface as well as from an underwater window. A tank of fearsome alligator gars, which look like alligators but are actually fish, faces the Swamp.
