Gator Integration


Another great shot from Aiko Jim at the Academy Of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. He took this after noting that they napped this way for over two hours. I hesitate to use the word 'cute' for alligators -- but it's pretty cool-looking.

Gators freak me out, but even so I like that photo. Neato!

I saw a white gator at a museum in New Orleans. Apparently they are not uncommon but get eaten in the wild due to standing out to much.
Sure wish people behaved better.

We went swimming a few weeks ago at this place here in Florida called Alexander Springs. We swam and swam all day, and at one point, I looked up on the shore across the springs, and there was an alligator just sitting there watching. Like he was looking down at a buffet.
