In early February we were in S Florida. Gators all over. In the 'Glades we saw one group of at leats 45 basking right on the other side of the fence. In Shark Valley they basked next to the trail; had to walk right by them. The biggest one we saw made these look small. I think we saw an even bigger one at Aransas in TX a couple springs ago. Once they get to that bulk.......

We also saw some babies; all sizes out there.

Saw two nice crocodiles at the southern end of the Park, too.
