Naptime in Gatorville

Found this mother alligator and her four sleeping babies in the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge in Hardeeville, SC. The refuge's gift shop is called The Gator Hole. The T-shirt I bought there has "Advice from an alligator," which includes "Keep a low profile" and "Bask in the sun." Wouldn't you agree that these young ones have already mastered the art of basking in the sun?

 

Update: It has been brought to my attention that the larger alligator is too small - and so too young - to be the mother of this group.

 

Thanks to all who visit, fave, comment, and extend invitations. Your support is much appreciated. I will be sure to visit your work, too
