JUST IN: A large number of animals at Colorado Gators, a rescue park in Alamosa County, were killed in a fire early Tuesday morning.
Colorado GatorsThe fire, which the park reported about 4:30 a.m., was in the reptile barn, and most of the rescue’s snakes, lizards, tortoises, parrots and cats died in the blaze,“We are devastated,” the post stated. “But there is positive to focus on. And we have hundreds of animals that are healthy that we still need to take care of. Prayers are appreciated. We will get through this.”
No people were hurt in the fire, and several caiman, turtles and tortoises were rescued by the Mosca-Hooper Fire Department. The alligators and crocodiles outside the building were unharmed, as were all the animals in the fish building. Park administrators said the damage is extensive and the cleanup will take a long time, “but we will go on.”
