You have the eyes of a hawk if you can find the alligator hiding in this swamp
ALLIGATORS are one of nature's toughest predators.
Every year thousands of people visit Florida every year to get a glimpse of the lurking beasts.

But unless they are out in the open or strolling along the side of the road, the ferocious reptiles can be quite hard to spot.
Their scaly green and brown skin allows them to blend in with the murky swamps of the southwest Florida and the Everglades.
So it really takes someone with sharp eyes to find a gator that wants to hide.
A visit to Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary just outside Naples, Florida, provided the top opportunity to put the eyes to the test while wandering along the boardwalks.
Somewhere in the swamp picture above, there is a lurking alligator but if you look close enough then you might just be able to see her.
Female alligators are typically smaller than males, making this one much harder to see.
The knobbly monster is also blending in with the leaves, brown water and other swamp plants.
And to make things even harder, the sunlight reflecting off the low waters make her even more difficult to find.
The American Alligator can be found in the State's marshes, swamps, rivers and lakes and is one of the most darkly coloured species of gator in the wild.
That means that if you managed to spot the alligator in the picture then you are well and truly have an eye for detail.
You have 20/20 vision and a high IQ if you find the tiny alligator blending in with the lily pads in under 20 seconds
If you look close enough you can see her lurking near the trees.
Zooming on the image will show the scaly skin of her head and back just resting above the water.
So well done if you managed to spot her!
