As I started to finish this photograph in Lightroom I realized I recognized him. Good grief !
The old large males have scars and I could just see the lower jaw, a large white scar. On his bottom jaw, where the teeth protrude.
If you were to look back, at various articles on Alligators you would find this one.
Now, if you had told me this 10 years ago…
…..did you also hear ‘ticktock, ticktock, ticktock’? Crouching to be on its same level to take the photo makes the viewer feel kind of vulnerable, even though it is just a photograph, lol. Those eyes!
🙂 I always hear the ticking when close LOL. The eyes, oh yes. In good light they are yellow and almost evil.
I hope you were a long distance away from this fellow, Ted. I’ve seen too many of them on nature documentaries and the TV is close enough for me 😀
We keep our distance, but do get close at times. Living around them changes your perspective 😀
