This one really wasn't that big. I guess 6 or 7 feet long. The thing that
made it interesting was that she was a momma gator with 7 or 8 little ones
hanging around her. In fact what originally had me interested in her was a
couple of the little ones that were sitting on her head sunning themselves.
There are really some big ones in this park. This was not one of them. I
know ours gators aren't as big as the crocks from down under, but they are
all the same big dang lizards. If you ever get down this way let me know and
we will take a run out there. I planning a trip for a bunch of Zuiko heads
in 2004 and this is one of the places we will go. Bill Barber
