Hi All,
A great tourist spot in St Augustine is the Alligator Farm. In the late 1950's American alligators were critically endangered with fewer than 300 animals in the wild. Today there are more than 300 at the Alligator Farm!
The big males, like this 700 pounder are in the central pool area.
They have a training program for alligator handlers; here's the final exercise on controlling a large male.
They have two albino alligators
The Farm has at least one of each of the world's 23 species of crocodilians including this Indian Gharial.
Lots of neat birds as well like this red-knobbed hornbill from Sulawesi Island in Indonesia.
More common but just as beautiful is this macaw.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
