The sex of a hatchling alligator depends on the incubation temperature of the egg clutch. Temperatures less than 31° C produce all females, and temperatures greater than 33° C produce all males. Temperatures between 31° C and 33° C will produce a mixture of male and female hatchlings depending on how warm the nest is. You are walking through the everglades studying alligator populations, and you stick a Fahrenheit thermometer into an alligator nest. The reading is 88.0° F.
