Hello. Since you know the identity of your organism, please go ahead and fill in the scientific name field. In this case it is Alligator mississippiensis.

It also takes the spotting off the "unidentified" list. A reference link that you can fill in ifor your spotting s http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_al... For detailed information on how species are named and why this is important see Project Noah's blog entry http://blog.projectnoah.org/post/2870249... Lastly please name the facility where this alligator is housed in Hawaii. Thanks!
