Artist's notes:
 The
American Alligator illustration is an older drawing,
dating from early 2004 with the digital tinting added in
2007. It is based on a photo by the talented animal
photographer John White. In May of 2009 I redid the
coloration on the American Alligator to make it more
accurate and realistic.
