No word on what happened to Lilly, the restaurant's live alligator. Maybe she was released into Julington Creek out back.

Wildlife.

Restaurant with Sasquatch Head, Live Gator

Elaborate Taxidermy seriously fills every nook and cranny of each room. We didn't see/notice the Sasquatch head.. but what we did see was jaw-dropping. A full giraffe, lions, tigers, bears. Oh my!

Clark's Fish Camp

Clark's Fish Camp sounds normal, but isn't. It has a live alligator named Lily in a tank named Lily's Pad. There are also displays of exotic taxidermy, everything from a complete giraffe, to an albino raccoon, to a "sasquatch head" made from an old deer's butt, to a "Sponge Man" who must be seen to be believed. Its "Call of the Wild" menu may be the only chance most folks will ever have to eat camel, yak, and kangaroo. I went with my wife and my folks and we all had fun.
