I've been following these young alligators for the past few weeks in the Cullinal Conservation Area. They are now moving away from the nest, and the mother, although always close by, is allowing them to explore further. I never realized how strong the mothering instinct is in alligators.

A brief beauty and the beast theme. Yesterday's post of the lovely Tricolored Heron was the beauty and this American Alligator is clearly the beast. This large gator was found in the Okefenokee Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, southern Georgia.
The Canoochee River is one of the most enchanting rivers in Georgia, with its tea-colored swamp water contrasting with the white, sandy banks of the Coastal Plain. I read that the Canoochee has the reputation of supporting the most numerous and largest water snakes in Georgia. I didn't see a water snake on this short visit but I did see one snake, a Black Racer, and a small alligator.

An average adult American alligator's length is 4 m (13 ft). Adult alligators are black or dark olive-brown with white undersides, while juveniles have strongly contrasting white or yellow marks which fade with age.
This one about 1 m long including the tail.
The photo was taken in a city park, not in a zoo.
