Nine baby alligators have unexpectedly hatched at the Palm Beach Zoo.
The zoo says two alligators named Fred and Wilma have lived together for more than a decade, and Wilma has built a nest every year since 1999. But none of her eggs have ever hatched.
A groundskeeper at the zoo discovered a baby alligator in the couple's habitat. Nine, in total, have hatched.
A zoo curator calls it "a pleasant surprise."
The babies are remaining behind the scenes at the zoo, but guests are invited to visit the new parents.
