American Alligator in the Okefenokee Swamp
A close-up of the signature creature of the Okefenokee Swamp NWR. Ever since I had read the name as a boy I had wanted to visit the mysterious-sounding Okefenokee Swamp and I was thrilled to finally have a chance to visit at the end of a business trip.
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.
