Dozens of alligators gathered at a giant sinkhole lined with vultures.

The 134-foot-deep sinkhole formation that’s about one-third of an acre in size, where the alligators usually like to hang out. It is located at the lower lake of Wilderness Park at Myakka River State Park.

Only a few hikers were able to make to the gates of Myakka River State Park in Sarasota, Florida. Park manager Stephen Giguere said that a limit of 30 people were allowed to visit each day in order to retain the “wilderness experience.”

“On a typical day in the dry season you can see 50, 150, 200 alligators,” Giguere said. “They congregate to this area only deep water left during dry season and a good source of food.”

If seen from a distance, those dozens of alligators seem to be like logs lined up along the bank, but given a closer look, their rough skin and narrow jaws can be easily seen.

“When you grab your binoculars, they are alligators,” Fred Vogell, a park visitor from Connecticut, said. “You can see some very large ones there.

Lee Dalton, who is a photographer from Sussex, England was living in Fort Meyers at the time. He recently shared photos of “Deep Hole on his Facebook page to show his followers, what the sinkhole looked like after a fish kill with alligators back in January.

Dalton said as long as someone doesn’t get close to the edge of the water, visitors are in for a safe and memorable experience.

Giguree warned visitors that Alligators may appear peaceful, but they can run up to 35 miles per hour in short bursts.
