It has been at least a year since I have spotted an alligator in the canal in my backyard. However, a couple new babies have arrived. About 2 years ago, there was a big ol' bad boy who patroled the area around my dock --- until he ate a fool-hearty swimmer. (How dumb is that?). The authorities killed him for doing what comes natural. Since then, I have not spotted any gator activity until about a week ago. Now, I wonder where Momma is?

Here are pics I took. The baby's are 8 days old. Momma almost got me just before they hatched. See them crawling on momma's neck and close by?
