Fauna of South Texas

Something to consider if you wade fish in the bays here in South Texas.

This was a little friend that I spied while out on a training ride on my bike a few weeks back. I use the term “little” with sarcasm as this American alligator was around 12 feet long.

He had a “smaller” 4-6 foot friend that did NOT like to be photographed. He jaw snapped, postured and threatened to charge me on more than one occasion. The only thing separating me and the gator was a bank with some shattered cinder blocks on it.

Life lived in fullness is not without risks, you know?
