The color of blood depends on how much oxygen is in the blood; when here is plenty of oxygen, the blood is more reddish in color. The reason that this is so is because of a protein called HEMOGLOBIN, which carries the oxygen in your blood. When hemoglobin has a full oxygen load, it gives the blood a reddish color.
Egg Incubation. A female alligator lays between 35 and 90 eggs. Once the eggs are laid, she covers them with a layer of vegetation to keep them warm. The incubation period is 65 days and the temperature within in the nest plays a critical role during this time.
