Great set! They used to sell baby gators in Monkey Wards. Thanx for sharing!
Yes they did. What a tragedy that was!
Turning wild animals into toys.
Thank you. I like sharing with people who know what it takes.
Some water hazards are more hazardous than others.😳 That’s OK little fellers… You can keep the little white ball.

They are so cute, rcpo! Love the shots! You mean you had 11 brothers and sisters?
I do! Nine brothers and two sisters. Eight of them were four sets of twins!
Consecutive twins.
Thanks, they are really cute, I love them too!

Thank you! Me too. She wasn't aggressive at all. She checked me out for a couple minutes and decided I wasn't a threat, apparently. She closed her eyes and didn't move again.
On the other hand, this morning I came close to another Mom and Babies. She was very aggressive and started to come out onto the road. I pulled ahead a couple feet, parked and got out of the truck, walked around to the passenger side, using the truck as a shield and very carefully walked back to the site of the action. She was waiting for me and made an explosive hiss, almost like a sneeze. She was much bigger than the Mom of Friday and made an impression on me. I reversed course, got in the truck and left her and her babies to the swamp. I got only a few photos, none of which were worth much!
