15.- Everglades, Where
is the alligator?
The water is
usually very clear. You can see that an alligator is near
or that a boat has passed recently because the dirt at
the bottom of the "shallow river" is stirred up. If you
put some of this water in a cup and leave it to stand for
a day, the dirt will fall to the bottom. The slow
movement of the water and the movements by the wind, fish
and alligators make the water look brown. Can you see the
alligator lying in the shade?
