Backyard Gator
Bald Head Island, North Carolina; Thursday, April 29, 2010:
There are many houses on Bald Head Island, and in some ways it reminds me of an urban subdivision, with
many large homes on small lots. But one thing that most subdivisions in the north don't have is a local
alligator in the drainage pond behind the house. There are several gators on Bald Head Island, mostly living
in these ponds and in the ponds at the island's golf course.
