These were just off Hwy 1 in Northern CA, still part of the Redwoods in Humbolt County.
These fellows are so used to the tourists, they don't really pay much attention to you, so you can get pictures of them quite easily.
These are at the Edgar I. Brown Homestead in South Dakota. It is the only prairie dog town with white prairie dogs!
We saw a lot of wild donkey's in Custer State Park, South Dakota, including this fellow
He looks quite ferocious and dangerous, doesn't he? Actually, this, supposedly at least 50 year old, alligator has lost both of his eyes in fights against peers and now he is quite helpless, at least, as far as humans in boats are concerned. I remember seeing this alligator first years ago. Then, he still had one eye but life must have been rough since. I was not expecting to ever meet the old fellow again, but our airboat ran right into him as soon as we got into the grassy part of Everglades. The boat captain would endearingly call the gator "Old Man" and try to persuade him to get out of the boat's way (which, after some haggling, he unwillingly did). Anyway, I hope to meet him again the next time I visit Everglades. Good hunting until then, Old Man!
Just look at all those "shiny" eyes and smiling faces...
Florida Everglades: almost stepped on this fellow by mistake to take a better look at the swamp.
