I am an American Alligator

Swimming where Manatees gather

But the Manatees have nothing to worry about

I prefer meals with a much smaller stature.

(In the link below, click on the "Mortality, Rescue and Rehabilitation" link to learn about Manatees natural predators. Be sure to click the link to the video, it's very cool and shows Alligators and Manatees hanging out together.)

Location: St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park, Fellsmere, Manatee overlook
