This is the famous white alligator at the Aquarium of the Americas located at the foot of Canal Street in New Orleans. The foot of Canal seems to be pretty much a favorite location for tourists and locals alike. Shopping, Mississippi River walking, casino, great eating, street cars, French Quarter -- it all comes together right there.-- steve buser
Spectacular! They are currently having an exhibit on an albino alligator in my area at the aquarium; I hope to visit soon.
ReplyDeleteForgive me Steve, but is this lovely chap real? I'm expecting you to tell me it's a sculpture but somehow it's look the real caboodle. Good photo real or otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI think I know him!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, Steve. We were just there showing my mother-in-law the aquarium. Yep, this guy is real. There's a second leucistic alligator at the Audubon Zoo.
ReplyDeleteYikes!Them gators are scary me thinks. But it's a cool shot.
ReplyDeleteWould I love to see that in person!! My friend Wandi just posted an Albino Moose!! Very neat photograph.
ReplyDeleteThe only time I've ever seen an albino alligator was in Silver Springs. Nice chap !
ReplyDeleteMaybe you'd also like to upload your photos of New Orleans to trivago. We are an international community of travelers for travelers.
whoa, look at that perfect reflection you got!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen my son was a pre-teen, he was enamored of the NOLA zoo and aquarium -- watched the Nat Geo video over and over. We took him there (from Seattle) when he was around 7. The white 'gators were probably the highlight of the visit for him. Thanks for reviving that memory.
