the easiest way to tell the difference between an alligator and a crocodile is whether you see them later or in a while.

LOL, that would be awesome !!

I'm thrilled I got to see that old gator again. He is on a VERY "off the beaten path" part of a military installation. So he doesn't get bothered. Fishing is allowed there, but most people go to the larger lakes we have.

This lake is actually VERY small. You would think to small to support a gator, but he is doing well. Been there for many years. He doesn't bother anyone and no-one bothers him. I make sure not to get to close...he wouldn't come after me, but he would go into the water. And he was enjoying that sunbath so very much with those cold nights lately.

Just sat down quietly and observed him enjoying the sun :)

OMG, haha.

I wonder if that hasn't actually been tried before !!! There were a couple of times we found evidence of a late night party at that lake!! Don't think I would try that, though, :O That gator is a lot bigger close up then it appears on those pictures. Don't think it would look at a human as food, but something splashing around at night, who knows, he might nip at ya...:D

The BIG lake we have, I would not be doing that there, though. When I was kayaking there, I saw baby alligators. And god knows what lurks in there. I remember many years ago they drained that huge lake, left it empty for a few years and it filled in with trees, vines and whatnot. Then they filled it again. I dont even like kayaking there very much. All those underwater trees to get snagged on!

just looked it up, that lake is 7.7 acres big

The lake is about 4 times wider then across..
