A trio of young alligators is struggling to find refuge in a drying landscape. They are marching toward a remnant of receding wetlands, one of the few remaining sources of water in the area. This small pool provides temporary sanctuary for the alligator family, which includes a dozen young gators clustered near their mother.

The drought is taking a toll on the environment, causing ephemeral wetlands to vanish. Further details on the impact of the drought are available from the Richard Moore Outdoor Report.

More information can be found through the report, which provides insight into the effects of the drought on the wildlands.
