From Out Of The Depths

Recently we were watching an area we knew an alligator was doing some late evening fishing in, when suddenly it surfaced. This appearance by Mr. Gator sent the panicked fish flying out of the water in all directions…clearly the alligator was enjoying a little late night snack!

I think that I would be jumping out of the water too if I saw that coming at me!! Great photos of this action!

What an incredible catch! Though you’re a lot closer to that alligator than I’d want to be — even with a very, very long lens. 😉

  I was close but he was mostly interested in fish and crabs, not me. 😀
  Thanks!

That looks like one very mean ‘gator, and I’d hate to be a fish in his territory, when he was feeling peckish. 🙂 Great captures, Phil.

  Awww…he’s not so mean, he just hungry. 😀 Those poor fish always seem to get the worst end of every deal. 😦

Have you tried training one of those critters to catch and “give” the fish to you? Imagine serving your “alligator caught fish” at your next dinner party!

  I have tried giving the alligators suggestions on what I think they should do next. Sadly, they never pay me any attention. I just don’t think they take direction very well. 😛
  But wow, fresh ‘caught by alligator’ fish would be a terrific menu description!
  Thanks for your visit!
