Everglades Alligator Farm
By late afternoon, before running out of time, we drove back west
to the Everglades Alligator Farm, a privately owned attraction.


The big draw, of course, is the alligators. 


Maria gets to hold a baby alligator with it's mouth taped closed.
She still seems rather cautious!


I wrestled this monster to the ground, jumped on it's back, and
deftly whipped tape around it's mouth.

 
The highlight of this Farm is the fantastic airboat ride out into
the everglades. This baby moves! We had to wear earplugs as the
propeller engine makes a heck of a racket. We got the front row where
the view was great! The water surged over us everytime the pilot?
made a quick turn! 


This caged reptile is actually a caiman from South America.

They also had a pair of Florida panthers, a good sized lion!
