In cycling around Sea Pines you encounter many different gators. They hang out on the banks of the various streams and ponds getting rays.
This set shows my encounters on various rides throughout the area. I enjoy the fact that the biggest gators I see are in a stream behind the athletic fields for Hilton Head Prep. I assume they do not try to retrieve lost balls. (In fact, some years ago I posted a picture of a gator in this area with a soccer balls in its mouth).
