I kept my eye on them, let me tell you! The thought of riding a zip line over an alligator pit is downright scary! LOL!

I saw my first alligator in the wild my 2nd day here when I visited the park on Lake Dora. It was a baby in the shallows. I love it here. I have always wanted to live some place tropical and here I am.

People come from all over the world to Queensland just to see Australia Zoo (Steve Irwin's baby) which is close by. There's also croc farms/tourist attractions in our far north. As for me, i keep a wide berth. Thanks for sharing about the Florida variety!<br /><br />Happy April!<br /><br />Thanks for the visit.<Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17266281.post-63892027067522321382015-04-01T18:13:21.669-04:002015-04-01T18:13:21.669-04:00I am a little stunned by the fact there are alliga...I am a little stunned by the fact there are alligator farms.
