Celebrating World Wildlife Day

            One of the Bully Boys of the bayou.

This is my offering for today and I think this is just about as wild as they come. This is one of the bayou behemoths that I encountered on my return trip to the bayou. I was also on the water at the same time the Bayou Ranger was out, but I think they may have departed before all of the big boys came out to gather up a bit of sun later in the day. The day started off overcast and gray because of the remnants of a sand storm blown in from who knows where and a lot of cloud cover. The clouds had dissipated a bit by the time I left and almost all of the big boys were on station to check everything out and claim their place on the banks of Horsepen Bayou…none in Alligator Alley. I’m not one for exaggerating so I’m just going to say that this guy (and they are all guys when they get this large) is 12 feet plus. Likely 13 feet and quite massive. With that being said, he is not the biggest male on the bayou but still very intimidating. Still captured with the RX10 Mk IV with the 1” sensor.
