Laguana Madre Creatures




So we are on South Padre Island, TX. We are having a stroll on a boardwalk by the bay and come upon a sign (the first pic). Yeah you know what we were thinking, sure, alligators, yeah right! We got to the end of the boardwalk where the alligators were supposed to be hanging out and all we spotted was a few birds and a cool turtle. Then, out of the blue, we hear a lady clapping and calling "Pete." It took a couple minutes before we realized she was calling the alligator. It turns out that Pete knows his own name and responds to clapping. He swam over to us and got out of the water to show himself off in all of his glory. After a while, we left him to finish his afternoon nap.
