Alligator in the swamp.  

Did You Know?
Feeding alligators creates nuisance alligators. Every year alligators that have been fed by visitors begin to lose their fear of humans. If these animals become aggresive they are killed to insure visitor safety. To avoid this tragic end for these unique animals DO NOT FEED THEM.
