Wordless Wednesday: Here Gator, Gator in the Florida Everglades

Alligator Swimming in Shark Valley, Everglades National Park, Florida

Looking for a place in Florida to spot alligators? Although not a guarantee – since gators are wild animals – Shark Valley in Everglades National Park is a pretty good bet to spot one. Alligators are pretty cool animals and definitely need to be respected.

Enjoy these snapshots of the prehistoric reptile in all its Everglades glory.
