We have been dying to see some gators and now that it's hot, they're out!
We heard that if we went over to Kingsbay Naval Base, we were guaranteed to see some. So last Sunday we went for a 20 minute drive, crossed the Georgia boarder and found us some gators! We saw a couple right away {maybe 4 or 5 ft long} and then drove around a little bit more to find a big lake that had a few. Probably more then we can imagine! Scary and there were a few boats on the lake with fishermen.
Anyway, the one we saw in the lake was well worth the drive! He seriously was huge, maybe 10 ft! NO, a local said he's 14 maybe 15 feet! OMG and to top it off he caught something to eat while we were watching him. We were on the bank and he was halfway between us and the other side of the lake. He had his whole head out of the water chomping away! The smacking was so loud! Wild if you ask me and definitely no swimming in these Southern waters! We wouldn't anyway, but HELL NO now!
This was the first one we saw, there was another on the other side, but jumped in the water as we approached.
This was a little baby one, maybe 3 feet.
One of the many turtles.
What do you think?
He's freaking huge!
Wanna go swimming? lol
I think I got my gator fix for now!
Jackson thought it was pretty cool, but he wouldn't leave my side. I wouldn't either if I were him. So until next time......
