We took a tour of 'Alligator Alley'. They had all ages of alligators there. They put on a small show that they call feeding the alligators. They are fed with feral pigs. They said the pigs are all over & people catch them & bring the pigs to them to feed the alligators.
It was really interesting and informative.

We are in southern Alabama. We drove to the Gulf and took in the sights.
We'll be here a week and then on west.
