EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning dorsal close-up photograph captures the intricate details of an American Alligator's (Alligator mississippiensis) powerful and armored back. Native to the southeastern United States, this reptile is most abundant in the coastal marshes of Louisiana. While these animals have been known to reach lengths of nearly 20 feet, such individuals are extremely rare today. The American Alligator's unique skin, adorned with overlapping scales, displays a remarkable texture that is both visually captivating and tactilely intriguing. This photograph, taken by John Cancalosi, offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the beauty and complexity of this iconic North American species.
