This young lady lurks in the bushes and pond on my daily run. She has had babies every year since I started running there over a decade ago.

How many do you see, and any guesses what a baby alligator is called?

Haha, like the name, but alas you aren’t quite right. One year she had twelve, but think she feels less harried with the four in the picture and the two on a drainage pipe nearby.

You guessed it right and must have been on the path to see the extra two nearby. A long way for a stroll!

Just like their cousin sea turtles, alligator babies are called “hatchlings.”

(Good to be back, PSmith).

I could see 4 little ones
 :grinning:

I held a baby alligator when on holiday in Florida a few years ago. I was surprised how warm the little one’s tummy was, also how smooth it was.

(It’s good to see you here again Surfermom :grinning:)

You are braver than I am, Mags. I saw an eight-footer floating down the river on Saturday. He didn’t look like he wanted to be petted.

(Thanks, Mags. Missed you all and happy to be back in the neighborhood.)

This was quite long ago. I found dollar bills all over my bushes like they had blown there. I asked around but never found the owner.

Bumpy drive. No Warning signs. ‘Bush’ and shrub either side. Unsurfaced and giving us all. Bladder probs.
Stopped next to a under road gully. Mum and daughters in one side me in the other. In the middle. A “Croc”!!
Not the best way, to find out. What a “Gator” was.
:rofl: Back to the car Elucidated.
Addendum.
On rechecking. Actually Route 41.

I am so laughing at you, QES! I am very familiar with the area you speak of.
And, yes those gators are almost everywhere!
While on vacation, I was driving my grandkids to school, and a gator crossed the neighborhood golf course right in front of us!
Weird feeling, I can tell you that. :flushed:
