^ RIK TENAGLIA - Wannee, Florida.

Rik, a lifelong nature lover, says he's "blessed to be able to possess a spot on one of the most beautiful rivers in the country." The two images above were taken in the Wannee area of the famous Suwannee River. Rik says the alligators here are difficult to approach without them disappearing into the depths; of course, that's a natural behavior for wild alligators and a good thing as far as safety is concerned.

^   BARBARA N. - Poinciana, Florida.

Barbara captured this image of a 'gator from her backyard in Central Florida. A real lover of nature, Barb says she leaves the animal alone, and has had no issues with it.

^   LARA R. - Gainesville, Florida.

Lara took this photo in her city at Lake Alice. This image clearly illustrates the alligator's submarine-like ability to use stealth in being barely visible at the water's surface.

Got a nice photo of an alligator? Want to share it with the world?

Send us your alligator photograph,* whether you've taken it in the wild or at a zoo or wildlife park, and we'll publish it on the Living with Alligators website. If you haven't taken the picture yet but plan to, PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL AND DO NOT APPROACH THE ALLIGATOR -- use the zoom feature on your camera, so you can snap a pic at a safe distance. Along with your image, please send the full name of the photographer as it should be published, the location of the spot where the photo was taken, and the home city or town of the photographer (see the entries above for reference).
