Over the past several months, the reptile team at the Alligator Farm noticed that one of it’s resident gators was acting strangely in its habitat. A trip to the University of Florida Veterinary Hospital revealed that Brooke was suffering for an ear infection.

On Friday, the Alligator Farm announced that Brooke’s bloodwork and a recheck came back clean.

“He is back to his normal behavior, eating, basking, and not spinning anymore,” the Alligator Farm said.
