Alligators

We got very lucky, we took a air boat ride in the everglades and in the natural habitat we spotted several alligators, one lifted its head  right next to the boat and me- I kind of jumped a bit… but I was also able to spot this alligator with a baby on on it. Experience to remember. everglades-alligators-4
