In SC we have lots of marshes. One common animal in these marshes is the American alligator. The American alligator can grow up to 500 pounds. Many people have seen them in and around golf course ponds. One time I was fishing and I looked over and saw a giant alligator. In my opinion these  are very fun animals to observe. The young are very easy to approach, as long as there is no larger gators around.]]> 2017-10-26 17:36:40 UTC https://padlet.com/glawea/mh9sfh8riyei/wish/200945319 https://padlet.com/glawea/mh9sfh8riyei/wish/200947445 The south prepares lots of food.
