Lunch time in Big Cypress

Cliff Kolber

 This was a curious scene.  When I first noticed the alligator and turtle on the other side of the water, I was sure that I was about to witness the gator having lunch!  

But I was wrong.  These two creatures stayed in that same position for the full fifteen minutes I watched them.  Seems they were just enjoying each other's company for an afternoon rest.
