Your uncle was sure it looked like a good place to find one of the creatures. I assured him, you wouldn't be in there if that was likely. Right!? I'm enjoying reading all you have written about. You make it very interesting. Keep up the great work! Cyrus, as Uncle Andy and I were browsing through the picture’s we couldn’t help but wonder if there we any alligators in the water with you.

You must have an assistant... perhaps a mudskipper? The density-changing seeds are fascinating. I've never heard of that before. You mention that mangrove wood is often cut down for use. Do you know what it is used for? Perhaps architectural finishes? Or maybe furnishings? Perhaps people could avoid using these products if they knew how to identify them. Searching on the internet, I notice that mangrove may also be cut down to produce charcoal + woodchips!
