Alligator on the beach (Photos)

New posts
LOL..I remember a story about one that was on the beach near the Whales Tail several years ago. A man was interviewed that said his young daughter had asked him several times on the way here if there were gators on the beach and he assured her that they didnt go to the beach. He said he lost a few "brownie points" with her that day.
 
:yikes:Okay, now this really scares me. I'm not near as afraid of sharks as I am of alligators. He certainly looks like he's enjoying himself.
 
Cool! Can you get a little closer?

Sometimes they go nuts during mating season. Either that or he's very hungy. Either way keep your distance. Gators rule Florida!

Ok which is it, do you want him to get closer or keep his distance?:idontno:

Either eay Geo, you be careful, they are so fast, and we don't want you to become Gator bait, cool photos. :clap:

I am sure he needs to be moved for his own safety as well as curious humans.

I heard that there was a fairly large gator that lives in Draper Lake. I wonder if that is the same one?
 
I heard that he was originally spotted closer to Draper yesterday around 4pm. Draper is the closest coastal dune lake to where I took the pics today so that might be where he decided to make his way into the Gulf. It was surreal watching him swim parallel to shore with his head above water. Some of the time he let the waves and current take him but when he swam he sure was fast! I'd estimate he was 6-7 feet from tip of tail to his snout.

So my friends. Fear not the sharks in the Gulf. The bears and gators swimming in its emerald waters are a far greater threat! hahaha You can't make this stuff up!
