Baby American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)
For those of you in the central Florida area next Saturday, July 14, 2018, I will be doing a slide show presentation on the American Alligator at 1:00pm, at the Enterprise Heritage Museum, 360 Main Street, Enterprise. Free, no reservations required. Call (386) 259-5900 for directions to the museum.
If you’ve ever wanted to know the difference between alligators and crocodiles, how many crocodilians there are in the world, or exactly what a gharial is, now’s your chance to see for yourself. And if you’ve never visited this little museum–a lovingly restored 1930s era schoolhouse–you really should check it out.
Again, the presentation is free (though the museum gratefully accepts donations at the door) and is chock-full of fun and interesting information, along with loads of pictures. There will be plenty of time built in for questions and answers, and I will be available afterward to sign books and chat.
Hope to see your smiling face there!
NOTE: Time in Flyer is Incorrect. Program starts at 1:00 PM

Thank you so much for sharing, Don. I hope some of your readers in the area will stop by. You, too! It would be so nice to meet you! 🙂 (Yeah, I know it’s a long drive and the odds are slim, but it can’t hurt to suggest it, right? 😀 It really would be fun! Are you back, yet?)

You’re welcome Marcia. I returned on Wednesday night. Still fighting jet lag. You never know, I might take a road trip.

That would be great, Don. And hey–ALLIGATORS! Everything you ever wanted to know and probably a bunch you don’t give a hoot about. 😀 What could be better?

Thanks, Deb. I pretty much have a great time with as few as ONE in the audience or as many as 65, which is about maximum for my larger venue. Bigger groups generate more energy, and smaller ones mean you can personalize the talk more to their tastes and answer more questions for them. I love doing these, and selling a few books at the end is the icing on the cake. 😀 (Sometimes I think I’m having way too much fun for my own good! 😀 )

I’m so glad you have so much fun doing this. You are a natural, and I know well that you thrive in groups or one on one! Hope it’s a crowd for you next week! 🙂 x

Thanks, Bette! I always have a good time when I visit this cute little museum, and hopefully, the audiences do, too. Lots of them return for new programs, so I’m optimistic they’re enjoying them, and finding out stuff about our wildlife (or about writing) they didn’t know before. Thanks for your well wishes! 🙂 ❤

I was just at a park with an alligator zone warning. I thought of you! 😉

Around here, you’d have to put one of those signs up on every body of water, large or small, including drainage ditches and retention ponds! Eeep. But I’m actually quite happy seeing the sign made you think of me. 😀 Now when you see a sign that says “Leucistic Alligator Zone” . . . . . . . . . . . . 😀 😀 😀

Wait. It’s YOU that’s the long way off, not me. 😀 Come on over!! I’ll do a private showing just for you, and then take you on the eco tour. We’ll have FUN!! 😀
Seriously, how wonderful it would be to have you join us! Maybe some day! (Right before I finally get to take my longed for trip to Scotland and every corner of Great Britain.) 😀 ❤
