There is a wide irrigation canal on the back side of the park that irrigates sugar cane and citrus crops. It has a rapid flow of water and exits into the river on the front side of the park. It looks quite peaceful, a wild boar probably dropped by for a drink and got caught by the alligators, he got carried by the current and hung up on the damn. We watched the alligators take bites of him and do their roll to rip off a chunk, the boar lasted for a day and was gone. Every time I walked down to film the action the gators would swim away from the boar and just watch me, either I frightened them away or perhaps I looked like a better meal.
Poor boar
Keeping an eye on me, he is a good 10 feet long.
When the gators moved away for a rest the vultures moved in, here they are drying off after the gator returned
Lynn and Claudia treated us to a delicious pancake breakfast.
Great Blue Heron just landing.
Exciting times, huh? But do keep out of range of those alligators!
