Alligator Farm - Part 3

Here are the final images from our recent visit to the Saint Augustine Alligator Farm.

The alligators below the boardwalk generally just lay around.



But they seem to have internal clocks that tell them feeding time is coming.



They get very active once a staff member starts tossing them food.

  1. Art, these photos are just spectacular! Thanks for posting them! The alligator feed reminds me of a casino buffet I tried once; the alligators have better manners!

  2. Incredible alligator shots, Art! I should have looked at this before we all met so I could ask you more! Safe travels to TN.
