I’m not sure what I did to get his attention. This alligator was floating and pretty much doing nothing.

For some reason he just turned and stared. Nothing threatening or menacing. Lay there and watched me. I was photographing Egrets in a tree so I continued on.
Of course I checked a few times, and he was watching. So I took his picture!
I can watch too.
Oh my goodness kind a scary. Nice pic
And that is the reaction by many to alligators. 😀. For the most part they are either afraid or tolerant of people(if distance is kept). However they do have those evil looking eyes…
Good to know. Rather like our bears up here sounds like.
