florida 3

this really big guy was just sitting along side the water there and we were able to sneak up behind him to get a picture



they had these little baby ones for us to hold. they said that you can't release alligators once they've lived in captivity because they lose their fear of people and will start eating people.



after our tour we drove a while down the road andfound this trail to something called the Shark Valley Observation deck. it was getting dark though so we didn't actually make it to the end. also, the park ranger we met in the parking lot said that alligators become moreactive at night and that it would be dangerous to stay out their.


we got less than a mile down the trail and then quickly found that he was right. this giant alligator was just sitting there on the trail waiting for us. we kept our distance and turned around to go back to the car.
