Mighty Mike Has Arrived At The Newport Aquarium!Mighty Mike at Newport Aquarium

Who is Mighty Mike you ask?  He's not the Reds newest slugger or a lineman for the Bengals, he's a 14 foot, 800 pound American Alligator!!

Mighty Mike is on temporary loan to the Newport Aquarium and he OWNS the Gator Bayou section!  Yep, all the normal itty bitty gator inhabitants had to be evacuated 'cuz Mighty Mike might think they're snacks, and at 14 feet long, he needs ALL the available space!

He's got a rather LARGE appetite!  How'd you like to be able to gulp down a 30 pound turkey in a single quick snack?

Combine Mighty Mike's appearance with the current offer of two free kids admissions with ever paying adult through February 28th and you've got the makings of a pretty great family outing!

Access is easy, parking is right there at Newport on the Levee, so get your trip planned now!  Type One Aquarium Way, Newport, KY 41071 into your GPS and you'll be there in no time!  Not much more than 30 minutes from most of Warren County!

Cinnamon, Yes he is!  Luna is "almost" cute :)

Jean, Mighty Mike is certainly large.  He's about as long as a typical pick up truck!

Bliz ~ another great Localism post from the real estate experts in Warren County!  I wouldn't want to ever encounter Mighty Mike anywhere.  He is one scary dude!

Bliz, I have "Mighty Big"'s brother in my back yard & was going to use him for my next wordless - my lanai overlooks the golf course and lake and he sits there every morning while the golfers go by.  No question they are fun to watch, if you are patient... they don't move a lot, unless you feed them ofcourse.

Ellie, I've never seen one outside of a zoo.  We had them in Charleston, but since I didn't golf, never went to where they were.  You've certainly got a big one there!

Jane, They haven't said, so not sure.  They also haven't specified how long he's on loan.  Maybe trying to make it Mystery Mighty Mike :)

Melissa, He's certainly in the Jumbo size category.  Didn't mention above, but he's about 50 years old.

Bliz - Other posts you have written that has the word "Newport" in the post has always caught my eye. We have a Newport Beach in California but it is a whole different climate there.

Speaking of that, is the climate there fine for a 50lb. gator?

And, is Mike a gator or a crock? Do you know the difference I always get confused? But this is a gator.

Ken, Newport Kentucky gets a lot of our press because of the Aquarium.  Seems like they have at least one or two posts a month, and they've given us permission to use their photos, so that much better.  Mighty Mike might be considered a senior citizen at 50 years old, and the enclosure is totally inside and comfortable.  Good thing, it started snowing this afternoon, so WAY different than your Newport Beach!  I can't recall the difference between crocs and gators, but Mike is defininitely a gator.

Now, that's one pretty large critter!  Guess I need to check up on my geography -- didn't realize you were so close to Kentucky.

Tish, We're 32 miles up the interstate from the Kentucky/Ohio line.  Cincinnati is on the river facing Kentucky.  And Mighty Mike is certainly one big gator!

Kay, At 800 pounds, that's a lot of fuel needed to keep him going!

Endre, When I read 30 pound turkey in a single gulp?? wow....   Now we know how he got to 800 pounds!

Karen, I'd suspect he's ALWAYS hungry :)

Roger, I don't know that besides Man there's anything that should scare him.
