Evening Appetizer
Yesterday evening before sunset we watched several alligators converge on a shallow pool of water in the marsh pond that was filled with numerous small bait fish.
The gators spent quite awhile dipping under the water, then surfacing with one or more of these tiny fish in their mouth. If you look closely at this gator, you can see one of these little fish. One or two fish would barely be an appetizer for a large alligator, but after an hour or so of continuous feeding it amounts to a full meal!




Excellent action captures Phil! Quite vivid, and very good.
Thanks very much Gareth!
Looks like Sir Alligator needs some dental cleaning…..anyone up for the job? lol great photos
He does need a cleaning. Better make an appt. 🙂
I can’t believe you can actually see down his throat! How cool these photos are!
Hey thanks Molly! Very glad you liked these. That is quite a view down his throat isn’t it? 🙂
Especially with the fish nestled inside.
I keep looking at this picture its fascinating looking down there.
Just imagine crawling in there and letting him gulp you down.
especially when you want to get away from the world never to worry about anything ever again.
Just lie there inside Mr A’s belly.
Yes! That is quite a view! Fantastic as always!
Thanks a million Jen!
It looks like the fish is swimming down there.
the fish is wondering whats down here.
That poor fish is having a bad day!
Mr Alligator as well as Mr Crocodile are certainly on the top of the food chain.
Do you remember the movie “Alligator” I remember seeing it in the 80’s.
The first picture looks like the fish is crawling in there.
Fascinating seeing the fish down there.
