阿妮叶李的BLOG

       2011年12月25日和12月27日，我一副“上身蒸馒头，下身卖凉粉”的装束，两次进入大沼泽地国家公园(Everglades National Park)，这里大约有100只短吻鳄和鳄鱼。

       全美只有佛罗里达州有这两种鳄鱼共存。鳄鱼(crocodile)在陆地上最快跑23英里/小时，最大身形的鳄鱼比短吻鳄(alligator)大2到3倍。

       偌大的国家公园里野生动物(Wild animals)好多，乖乖牌的也不少。美洲蛇鹈(Anhinga anhinga)、林鹳(Wood Stork)等应有尽有。

       谁不说和平共处醉美好：

   感谢友人补充：“Alligators are only native to the United States and China.   American alligators are found in the southeast United States: all of Florida andLouisiana, the southern parts of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, coastal South andNorth Carolina, Eastern Texas, the southeast corner of Oklahoma and the southern tip of Arkansas. According to the 2005 Scholastic Book of World Records, Louisiana is the state with the largest alligator population. The majority of American alligators inhabit Florida and Louisiana, with over a million alligators in each state.

American alligators live in freshwater environments, such as ponds, marshes,wetlands, rivers, lakes, and swamps, as well as brackish environments.[citation needed]Southern Florida is the only place where both alligators and crocodiles live side by side.   The Chinese alligator currently is found only in the Yangtze River valley and is extremely endangered, with only a few dozen believed to be left in the wild. Indeed, far more Chinese alligators live in zoos around the world than can be found in the wild. Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge in southern Louisiana has several in captivity in an attempt to preserve the species. Miami MetroZoo in Florida also has a breeding pair of Chinese alligators. The St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park has successfully reproduced Chinese Alligators and been fortunate enough to release some of their offspring back into the wild in China.”

       过于宁静有时意味着危险重重、险象环生：

       大沼泽地国家公园的水中苹果树(Pond Apple)风姿绰约：

       鳄鱼处处显身影：

       据国家公园的工作人员介绍，附近Big Cypress National park 有600只左右短吻鳄和鳄鱼，如果你再去那里登塔看看，估计一辈子都不想再看鳄鱼了。

       情到深处人孤独，顾影自怜，寻找慰寄：

       此行感叹：佛罗里达州的航天飞机(Space Shuttle)渐渐搬走后，不仅仅做太空飞船的人事大受影响......
