Dinner Time!

Posted by Barbara (Florida, United States) on 8 April 2008 in Animal & Insect.

This is the big female alligator in the park down the street from me. She has a bad eye most likely from the several fights she has been in. I guess her length to be approx. 10 or 11 feet long, at least.
I lost count of the amount of photos I have of her.
The day I took this photo the park ranger said she disappeared for about 3 months, with no idea where she went. With mating season soon she is back in her territory.
Only a few yards away are screened patio's of a 3 story apartment building.
One additional note, the back teeth that you see are not short but the tips are embedded in the lower lip.
