Underwater Boots
In the pond outside Grandma and Granddad Roe’s Florida home lives a small alligator we named boots. He received this label because we felt he was just big enough to supply that much skin. When we last visited, lily pads and other vegetation prevented much of a view under the pond’s water, so all we saw of boots when he swam where his eyes and nose. This exhibit at the Evansville Zoo allowed us to peak underwater at an alligator and watch him float and swim. Both boys were fascinated by this view and watched intently as the reptile moved about. The high point came when Benji pointed to the alligator and said “Meow, Meow”, the only animal noise he knows so far.
