Giant Gator in the Grass

Description :

When the weather is just right, the local residents come out and bask on the bank, or even cross over the trail to lounge around in the grass. If you're this big, you don't have to do any tricks, or even move, and you'll still draw quite a crowd.The La Chua Trail stretches from a boardwalk near the Alachua Sink, and runs out into the surrounding prairie marsh and wetlands right along the water's edge. There's very little shade, no gates, fences, or any other barriers between you and the wildlife.
