Juvenile Alligator A juvenile alligator at Newton Park. I think this one was about two years old, but it has already mastered the alligators' 'hide in plain sight' technique. It works better if you're more than a few feet from shore though! Alligator mississippiensis,American Alligator,Geotagged,Spring,United States Click/tap to enlarge

The American Alligator

The American alligator, sometimes referred to as a gator, or common alligator is a large crocodilian reptile native to the Southeastern United States and a small section of northeastern Mexico. It is one of the two extant species in the genus "Alligator", and is larger than the only other living alligator species, the Chinese alligator.
