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.

Cool textures, particularly on the alligator, on display in this pic of the handsome fellow, Dana. He really does look prehistoric.
BIG FAT ONE :)
Wonderful capture , Dana !Very beautiful alligator ! Qui non ci sono , altrimenti li fotograferei spesso anch'io ! Here there are not, otherwise they toooften take photos!
I'm glad you were in the car when you took this superb photograph as he looks to have his eye on you. They have amazing skin don't they.
outstanding shot!!! (was wondering how long the lens was or how brave or inedible you ;-D) are you still on 'solid' ground there with your car?)
yes, really fascinating animal and impessive capture! - do not go to near my friend, hear they are very quick if they want.. 5+ (for risk)
