  1. +Ann DeCamp We did see one small (3 foot) alligator in the water while on the swamp walk. I was more worried when taking pictures of the baby alligators near the back pond — knowing where the mother alligator was. When the small alligators start chirping you know you are too close, and mother may come to investigate.
