Big Territorial Alligator

This gator had just come from a territorial display with another large gator its size, probably around 10ft or bigger. Here he is pictured "bellowing" as you can see the water bubbling above his back as he performs his subsonic bellowing.

"And, after law enforcement killed the gator they cut him open and retrieved the boy's arm from his stomach" What a stupid action! It´s a predator...and YES..it eats meat..! So WHY kill the animal??

Well done, Chris. I love watching these big ones.

After yesterday's episode of the young boy losing his arm to the alligator I do not think I want to get too close. (And, after law enforcement killed the gator they cut him open and retrieved the boy's arm from his stomach.)
