Mr. Alligator’s Big Dinner
Earlier this week I was walking along the edge of the marsh pond when I saw our friend Mr. A strike at the water and come up with a good size fish. After a few crunches, the fish was down the hatch and he enjoyed a nice evening meal!

Missing the chips to go with his fish
That’s a good point, I bet he would enjoy some chips. But he is on his own for getting them. 🙂
OK you win the best comment award to go with those amazing photos.
Glad you enjoyed these pics!
Nice Series. I wish German wildlife would be that big. Mr. Alligator is my favorite! 😀
Well I’m very happy to hear that you like our friend Mr. Alligator! Thanks!
That is hands-free dining, right there! Great shots. (After seeing so many of your gator photos, looking at the critters no longer makes me cringe, and that’s a good thing, Phil. Thanks!)
Nice to know our pal Mr. A is starting to grow on you. I know he tries hard to win over new friends and sounds like he has a new one! 🙂 Thanks very much Deb!
Great Catch!…no pun intended 🙂
I appreciate that very much Edith, thanks!
Loving that big grin he gave you!
He does have a self satisfied and proud sort of grin there at the end doesn’t he?! He is looking at me as if to say…”nice one huh?” 🙂
Is this a family blog, Phil? Might need a PG-13 for this. 🙂 Yes, Mr. A is very satisfied with both the meal and himself, I’d say. Very nice behavioral shooting. Excuse me, Sir…would you care for a napkin. 🙂
Probably needed a *Gruesome Warning*
Mr. A looks like someone I saw at the All-You-Can-Eat buffet a while back. 🙂
Foto stupende e lui un grande fame 🙂
Oh, sì lui era molto affamato. Sono felice ti è piaciuto le foto. 🙂
I wonder what his burping sounds like 😀
Or worse…what it smells like.
😀
Now that I have not experienced.
I have heard that. 🙂
And?? Do tell us 😀
Check this out. An 11 second video I took last year.
Oh, how posh! *gg
Oh it’s something! 🙂
Scary 😀
Wow. He is really adept at getting that dinner into the right position. GREAT series.
Yes he had that fish turned around and headed down the throat like a real pro! Thanks for looking and commenting!
A great catch! Both ways!
Thank you I appreciate that very much!
Yesterday I had my first “Big animal encounter” out in the wild! I am so happy that i brought the camera!
