Ceriwis - Alligator in the wild with babies + more

Taken in the Everglades on my holiday out to Florida a few weeks back. 
D3 with the 70-200 VR with a 2x TC. Would have loved to have been able to get some better shots but no way I was getting any closer than this! :nuts:

Also, a couple of other wildlife shots taken whilst I was out there. Hurricane Ike combined with it being the wrong time of year resulted in not a great deal of wildlife to be seen but I'll be going back at the end of november, which I am told is a good time for wildlife. I'll also be taking the 200-400 with a 1.4x TC instead of the 70-200, 2x TC combo that I was using this time round!

I hate spiders, you can't see his fangs here but they were big.

VERY grateful the D3 & 70-200 are weather sealed to an extent when we were caught in a very heavy rain shower out on an airboat in the middle of the Everglades!

Can't wait to go back armed with not only better optical power but also more wildlife to shoot!
