The park is asking for the public's help in the naming the alligator, which is descended from a nest of leucistic alligators discovered in the swamps of Louisiana in 1987.

An exceptionally rare white alligator was born at a Florida theme park this summer, and the zoo now wants the public's help naming the tiny gator. Gatorland in Orlando says the list so far includes Ice, Noelle, Snow, Pearl, Ivory and Marshmallow.

Gatorland Orlando announced in a Facebook post that a white leucistic alligator had hatched at the park, the first ever to be born in captivity.
