A rather large alligator, basking in the sunshine, watching and waiting, for something tasty to come along for lunch!

This alligator was photgraphed in The Royal Palm National Park, Everglades.

Alligators live in freshwater lakes, rivers, and swamps. They occasionally live in brackish water.

The largest alligator ever recorded in Florida was 17 feet 5 inches long (5.3 meters). The largest alligator ever recorded measured 19 feet 2 inches (5.8 meters) and was found in Louisiana.

Thanks for viewing :)
