    I work at an alligator park with about 1,200 of these guys, and that is definitely an alligator, and that's definitely a deer. That's a male alligator, due to its size, and the big bulls sometimes will capture deer, eat what they can and then store the rest for later on. That entire deer would probably be enough food for that big boy for a year. And for differences between alligators and crocodiles, there's about a hundred differences, the snout being one of them. Color or speckling is not always a determining factor, take the dwarf croc for an example, they are generally a solid dark color.

    As for killing it, there are probably a number of reasons. More then likely there was a public outcry from people that live in the area for their safety, or he didn't show fear towards people. While alligators don't like the taste of people and are more scared of us generally, there are the exceptions. Usually the exceptions are because people made them that way by feeding them. These guys have a hard time distinguishing between a treat and a hand and can get confused. Crocodiles are the ones you need to worry about eating people, not alligators.

    This is a gator that got tangled in trotline in the Palesting / Athens area of Texas. I started to post this in the post your picture thread and ask which was the more attractive tailgater Nintendo or Lucious Lucy, the gator?

    i love the bit where "they had to shoot it"

    couldnt have left another wonder of the world alone?

    its like the first time they found a polar bear cross with a grizzly.

    guess what they did.

    yep thats right

    they shot it.

    No. The gator in the picture was caught by an acquaintance of mine.

    I have always been interested in gators around here. As a boy Dad and his cousin walked up on one on his grandad's farm. Recently one was shot and killed in the same area.
