Sarah Rodriguez Liz takes to the swamp region of Louisiana during its alligator season, as shown on History’s Swamp People. How old is she?
Known as Gator Queen Liz, she has returned for the 12th season of Swamp People, following her former decision to hang up her hooks.
Now that the season is getting well underway, Liz’s hunting talents are being showcased on each weekly episode.
So, why did Liz return after deciding to leave Swamp People? And how old is she? Let’s get to know the cast member who recently made a comeback.
Who is Liz Choate?
Elizabeth Choate, known as Gator Queen Liz, is a sharpshooter in the south.
She learned the trade by going on hunting trips with her father, but was not allowed to go anywhere near the alligators until she was at least 12.
Liz even has a 7-foot long pet alligator of her own at home!
She initially was brought onto the show to help out Troy Landry’s team, to fill the space when Clint decided to take time off.
Quickly becoming one of the best sharpshooters, she is now one of the longest-serving hunters on Swamp People.
Thursday's episode brings Liz and Destin face to face with high water and a low bridge during their quest for mega-monsters. #SwampPeople
