🐊 Summer isn't over just yet, so this alligator is still enjoying a refreshing swim to beat the heat!
📢 Friendly Reminder: Florida typically starts getting cooler in the late fall and winter, which means that gators might rest near the path and the water's edge. Remember to never feed the alligators and admire them from a safe distance.

💫 The Viera Wetlands is home to many more alligators and is open from 7 AM - 7 PM 💚

🌞 Check out this Anhinga sunning off the bank of the water. Anhingas are often called “snake birds” because of their slender necks and ability to swim with most of their bodies submerged while keeping their heads and necks above the surface. 🐍

🐿️ Looks like someone found a snack! Green pine cones are a valuable food source for squirrels because they contain nutrient-rich seeds tucked beneath their scales. Squirrels use their sharp teeth to strip away the scales and reach the seeds, or they may stash the cones away as part of their food supply. 🍏

🌳 This Eastern Gray Squirrel was spotted up in a tree at the Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands, which is open from 7 AM to 7 PM 💫
