American Alligator , The Alligator You will love

Al, the alligator gets lost in Georgia on his way to Florida. He finds a beautiful nest of grass, leaves, and reeds which was made by a female

Alligator. Hunters in Georgia were searching in the swamplands for alligators. They saw a flock of birds flying from a swamp area. This made it easy for them to find alligators. Al hears the hunters and goes quietly below the water because that is what alligators do to stay out of sight. He stays below the water for one hour, which most alligators can do very well. The hunters finally give up and move up the swamp to another area. Al finds a new nest and he is surprised to find a small egg. No female alligator is around but she may have been scared off by the hunters. She may have had more eggs because each nest can have about 45 eggs. Al is getting hungry and goes out to find fish and birds. He hides in the water with only his eyes and nostrils showing and he looks like a log. Al decided to wait until dark to do more traveling.

Al traveled all night and met his friend Alex in Florida. Alex was so happy to see him because he was sure that Al had been captured by hunters and turned into a part of a boot
