You could have plenty of snakes, small creatures and even alligators in that kind of area.

I had to go backstage to capture it and asked a guard at the gate, right next to it, for permission. He said yes. Just as I got to the spot to take the picture, a large gator entered the water. I didn't notice it untill it moved. Needless to say, I took the picture and left much quicker then I would have had I not seen the gator.
