The locals (Alligators) have been missing from the posts recently.
Thought I would show a shot of a few together to offset the slight.
This is what it looks like when the trunks are opened allowing water to flow between a shallow old rice field and the salt marshes. Water moves in pretty quick, dragging fish along with it… right into the waiting gators.
ACE Basin, South Carolina.
Now that is what I call opportunists! Bit surprised they are getting along being that close though, guess there is plenty of food to share.
Most times they do get along, surprisingly. and yes, food was plentiful. Water was flowing from the salt marshes into the old rice fields. Fish and ‘things’ flush right along too.
