Info from Licensor: "I arrived at the disclosed location (I do not give my exact location due to the fact that gator poachers would go out hunt and kill these gorgeous reptiles) just prior to sunrise and wanted to get some night photographs of these gators showing their eyes glowing and illuminated in the pond. I then waited until sunrise and began to video. I videoed gator, after gator, after gator climbing out of the pond (off camera view) and crossing the dirt roadway. I stopped counting after about 75 gators had crossed. They were anywhere from 2 feet to 12 feet in length. They crossed in pairs, singles, and several in the frame at a time, continuing to cross one after the next. I went back the next day and set up a tripod with a Canon Camera and a wide-angle lens. I placed it out in the middle of the road where I knew the gators would be crossing. I activated the record on video and walked back to my truck about 100 yds away. The gators crossed, not as many gators as the previous day, but I captured some really close up footage of several gators who crossed the road within 5 to 10 yds of the camera."
