American Alligator

Alligator mississippiensis

Habitat:

swamps, streams, rivers, ponds, and lakes; while they prefer fresh water, American alligators may sometimes wander into brackish water, but are less tolerant of salt water than American crocodiles

Notes:

The morning was cool, so there quite a few basking along the trail.
