Dragonflies on the Beachwalk
If you look close at the picture of the vegetation here, you will see a few dragonflies ... there were at least a hundred flying around the walkway today at Canaveral National Seashore, Playalinda Beach, Florida. They are regular visitors to the parking areas here. You will also see a mix of Florida vegetation like Sea Oats, Saw Palmetto, and Sea Grapes.
What a tranquil place =)

Florida Alligator
The Florida Alligator is alive, thriving, and well here in Cocoa Beach. Yes, you can see them along many of the roadsides in Brevard county (and in other parts of Florida as well). They dine on our turtles, waterfowl, wild boars, and basically whatever they can find that isn't running away (so keep your tennis shoes on =). Click for some great facts on the Florida Alligator. If you wanted Florida Gators (the football team, click here)

The Smallest Catfish
I believe we found a fighter! This little guy pulled and jumped and acted just like it's "big boy" brothers out there. The smallest Catfish with the Biggest fight!
The best short reading on our Florida Saltwater Hardhead Catfish
Florida Saltwater Gafftopsail Catfish
Oh yes, they grow to be much bigger than this little guy ... bigger, slimier, and with a big spike on it's back (so be careful not to get stuck).
