Temperatures are beginning to cool down a little in the Everglades and the wildlife has been abundant! While out in the Big Cypress we spotted this large alligator sunning himself. He must’ve known we were watching.

Meet Gator Gil
Hello there, my fellow Adventurer! Welcome to my blog, my little piece of the interwebs where I bring you all the news from the place I call home, The Florida Everglades!
Paulie the Python figured out how to get an internet signal out there deep in the marshlands, so I'm now able to post to my blog regularly!
A little about me? Sure! I am about 10 ft long, I love to chill out in the sun all day, and unlike you humans, I don't need sunscreen. Lucky eh?
I do my part to help preserve the Everglades by sometimes digging what we call "Gator Holes", and in times of drought, other species and reptiles can come to my gator holes filled with water to survive until the water levels are back to normal. I also eat quite a lot of garfish, which helps to keep their population in control. Garfish are known for eating a lot of bass and beam fish, so I do what I can to allow bass and beam to flourish.
So, there ya have it! A little about me, Gator Gil! Be sure to visit my blog regularly to see what I am getting up to! Even better you can subscribe to my updates via email by clicking here!
