Alligators



I missed the White House since we weren't given permission to fly over the area, let alone make a short landing to say hi, but I did manage to get a couple of pictures of alligators. They run around here freely and are protected. Since the winter is only just over, they aren't out much yet, but the temperatures have risen to 20 degrees and so we did manage to see 2!
One was pretty big and the other was just a baby. You have to look for the little one below!

These are quite disgusting animals. Hope they haven't guzzled anybody or any camera!

It's funny, but people in the area seem to live pretty much in peace with the alligators. They stay out of the animal's way!
They are in the backyard garden ponds (big ponds, mind you!) and sometimes seen on the golf fields.

If these prehistoric lizards get too big or aggressive, they are removed from the area and taken VERY far away.
