AMERICAN ALLIGATOR MAXIMUM CARD #8, FIRST DAY OF ISSUE PICTORIAL POSTMARK, NAPLES, FLORIDA


The reptile is the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis). The stamp is part of the Southern Florida Wetland series. Most of that area is in the Everglades National Park, Florida, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (WHS). To put things into perspective, this image also shows the natural habitat, impossible to see in such great detail on a regular postcard. BONUS: The backside has a great photo of wolves. For comparison only, I uploaded a second image with a 4x6 inches postcard overlapped.
