We have a lot on a pond connected to Evans Prairie. It went down during the recent drought, but being attached to the Prairie it did not go dry.
We do see alligators regularly, both small and large. The big boys like to sun on the bank. They have never come anywhere near us, and they don't concern me.
Recently, there were two otters running about. They are cute as the dickens, but don't be fooled. They are top-notch predators. One of them caught a fish, and swam around on his back, admiring his prize.
We have the usual birds, an occasional snake and once in a great while, turtles. I was fascinated to see they have a little snorkel on the top of their head.
