Gator Country gets loaner reptiles from Orlando park

Beaumont's Gator Country is scheduled to receive 60 Florida visitors today thanks to the kindness of a "sister park" in Orlando, according to owner Gary Saurage. Saurage, 48, estimates Harvey's floodwaters caused the deaths of about 40 of his adventure park's 4- to 5-foot long alligators. Saurage said the losses amount to about a quarter of the population that called the 15-acre reptile sanctuary home before the tropical storm hit in late August. Orlando's Gatorland, which was spared by Hurricane Irma last month, is loaning Saurage gators to help repopulate his park off Interstate 10 just outside of Beaumont.
