This little American Alligator didn’t care much about my presence as it spent the morning lounging. Most, upon any kind of approach, slip silently away. Growing up in the West, I rarely miss an opportunity to take a picture of one when I can.
In my opinion, this is a very underrated reptile endemic to the United States. This American Alligator was lounging around, as they tend to do, in Florida several years ago and let me get some photos. Growing up in the Western US, I’ll rarely skip an opportunity to get some photos or see one any time I’m visiting their range.
My favorite crocodilian, the Smooth-Fronted Caiman. These little guys live in smaller streams and hills in the rainforest, and have a lot of attitude for such a little guy. This one had no trouble at all letting my camera lens know who’s boss when it got a little too close. Got the shot first, though 🙂
