Walking along the big trail by the swamp everyone looks towards the water. If an alligator is around they are either sunning on that side of the trail, or in the water.
Hah! A new spot for this guy. On the other side in the shallow pools. There is sun, occasional unsuspecting lunch, and no pesky photo people.
I get it. Spring has brought in people who don’t usually wander here. And some people with little respect for wildlife or the environment. So this was a good move for him.
Nice shot! I do get the feeling that you have to keep your wits about you when you walk there. You never know what might be just around the bend😏
This may be hard to believe but several people have stepped on alligators that are sleeping on the trail. Strange, but true. The small to mid size really don’t want anything to do with people.
