Recently back from my 29th #Everglades #Kayak Trip!

We were met by an eleven foot long American Crocodile on the boat ramp. (Why is he grinning?) They are endangered and have a preserve on islands to the east. They must be recovering and spreading out—there are two big ones (11 and 15 feet long) now resident near the Ranger Station. Unlike #alligators they prefer salt water.
