Description
I know that I post to many alligator photos but I am so fascinated by them and I live in a place where alligators are all around us. They are a way of life in this area of south Florida. I once read that only cockroaches have walked the face of the earth longer than alligators. They are truly prehistoric. We live near the Loxahatchee National Wildlife refuge (221 square miles, 257 species of birds and huge alligators). The Wakodahatchee Wetlands are within walking distance but smaller alligators. This guy is about 12 feet (3.7 meters) long and impossible to estimate the weight. Not to worry, this was shot out the car window. An older photo taken with my old Minolta. If you dare zoom, check out the claws
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.

And I hear they taste like chicken! ;~)Nice details of those scales!
Superb capture of this Gator, excellent details in zoom! You wouldn't want to get that close in person. ;D I figured out why you have so many gator's down there and we have so few here in nothern Florida. We have something here you don't have, thier only known natural predators... Rednecks! ;D
Deep fried gator nuggets. Actually a little on the greasy side - if not done right!
I do not blame you for being inside your car!!outstanding shot
They're fascinating creatures, but I don't think I'd eat them! Great capture, and I'm glad you were in a car and not on the ground with him!
best gator i ate was fried on a open fire by this old man and he give some to me. wonderful looking and that how I take photos of gators too; out a car window. Still have to watch out as they can jump and reach the window.
that's one mean and hungray looking sob Dana, cool shot, but i don't see his Florida Gator jersey on..
That is a great capture! I would have stayed in my car too!
WOW!!!!!! This is a most excellent capture. :))))) I zoomed and wow at all the details. :)))))))))) He looks sleepy. :))))) I am glad to hear you were in a car. LOL!!!! :))))) Thank you for sharing my friend. :))))))) Carry A Smile In Your Heart :)))))
Good God! That things head is all mouth and no brain!
They don't look like the mover very fast but they sure have a burst of speed. Nice shot. Aloha
He's a real beauty Dana and you have capture a lot of super detail.
You should have kept quite about being in the car, he has an evil smile on his face and next time shout handbags at one for me.
