Mississippi River Gallery
 |
Set above the Mississippi River, this gallery offers views of the real Mississippi River as well as highlights many of the rivers habitants. The freshwater gallery features catfish, sturgeon, paddlefish and Spots, the white alligator. Though many think Spots is albino, he is really luecistic—a gene mutation that gives him his white color and steely blue eyes.
