The Everglades




One week in the Everglades on the road to Flamingo we encountered our first Alligators.
Irene on the airboat, one of the attraction around the national park. The airboat is not really ecofriendly but part of the florida culture down south. This tour was on the land of the Miccosukee. Check the web site http://www.miccosukee.com/
On the 2 pictures below you can see a Saltwater crocodile, Not an alligators. I didn't know that there were Saltwater Crocs in North America, it was quite interesting, check the differences.


A baby gator on the head of it's mammy.


Florida Cottonmouth (water mocassin) can be aggressive and extremely lethal. Well known in the movies were prisoners try to escape through the swamps.
