An American Crocodile at Flamingo Marina in Everglades National Park

Flamingo Marina in Everglades National Park is one of the few places in the USA you can reliably see crocodiles - yes, crocs, not alligators- on most sunny days. When this 10 foot animal swam by the place I was standing, it was the closest I have ever been to a wild croc, about 20 feet, and my heart was pounding!

Thanks for that info, Jim - I had no idea that American Crocodiles existed.
