  Hi Janet, sorry I didn’t see your comment earlier. Yes the Croc was quite beat beat up but eventually emerged relatively unscathed as the alligator gave up on it and let the shoe live on. 🙂

  I’m really happy you got a laugh out of these. This is one of my all time favorite photo series ever and these pics really did go viral and went all over the world. And guess what?! I *have* that Croc shoe in my possession! The alligator rather quickly spit it out that evening when I took those pics and I went back to the marsh the next day, saw that Croc shoe still floating around out there and managed to get hold of it and pull it in. It’s now a priceless artifact! 😀
  If you want I can send you these pics in a size to make prints. Let me know.

Fantastic! So so funny! I clicked on the heading thinking it was actually going to be an Alligator & a ‘real’ Croc fighting it out… I cracked up when I saw these! 🙂

Hi! My mother told me how much she loved the “Alligator vs Croc” photo in your anniversary post. She said she would really like to put the photo up in her office. I thought maybe I had gotten a postcard of it, but I don’t see one in the stack I purchased at HBSP gift shop. I noticed above that you offered to send a fellow-admirer the files to be able to print the 4 shots. I was wondering if you would be willing to do that for me, too, or if you would tell me how I could buy the 4 photos. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

  Just drop me a note at photos.wildlife@gmail.com when you get a chance. 🙂

I saw the title and thought, “Great – maybe I’ll be able to figure out the difference between a gator and a croc…” Yes, your shots made it absolutely clear!!! CROCS could use this in an advertisement; did they approach you for one yet???
