Hungry? I Think So

This alligator feeding in the salt marsh last week appeared quite purposeful in pursuit of it’s evening meal.

I suspect he was trying to gulp down some unfortunate fish, and I strongly suspect he was successful!

  Well something about him does remind me of Halloween. 🙂

  I could try to take him home like a stray kitty but I suspect he would just make a huge mess out if the house. 🙂

He’s a happy boy while fishing, I see. I can’t believe these close-ups you get. 🙂

  He really was right there in front of me. But he totally ignored me and only paid attention to fishing, and that’s how I like it! 🙂

  I don’t think our local gators dig the mushrooms too much. Not even the magic mushrooms. 🙂 They would rather have a nice fresh seafood dinner.

Hi Phil,
Amazing shots of that big fella. Just curious, roughly how many feet away were you for these? Don’t get too close… I enjoy seeing your photos too much for that. ;o) Thanks for sharing!
Take care,
Mick

  Hey Mick, well he was right in front of me, maybe 8 feet away. But he didn’t care about me he only wanted to catch his dinner (which wasn’t me). 🙂
  Thanks for checking out these pics!

    8 feet, huh? Wow! I knew you had to be close. BTW, I would have replied much sooner, but it took me a few days to figure out my password. Arrrg!!! The guy who invented passwords should be forced to walk the plank in front of that gator. LOL!
