You never know what kind of wildlife you’ll see when you take a stroll at Riverfront Park and Canal. 🐊
This gator was doing a little sunning on the bank.
Alligators are just one of many types of animals you may see on your walks along Columbia’s three rivers. Otters, turtles, snakes, deer, and many types of migrating birds are often seen on the banks and on the rocks in the river.
Some of our followers on Instagram were familiar with the alligator and even had a name for him. @les_savage_ calls the gator “Gary.” We think it’s a great fit.
Check out a few more pictures taken by @sylviefsmith of her sights around the canal.
