Gator Eyes
Guess who I finally saw yesterday...
..and I have to tell you I don't know how a gator this small ever found it's way to this pond! I bigger gator would walk farther, but this little fellow.. well.. he's little!!! His head and body (minus the tail) must only be about a foot long.
but don't let that fool you...he is fast!
..and although "size wise" he's sorta "cute"..he's scary all the same!
(when i look at his eyes I hear Dracula: "I bid you welcome".. heh oh yeah, I bet he does lol)
The maintenance man tried to catch him on day with the pool net but he is way too fast.. I do hope he's caught and removed though, it won't be long and he won't be so small.. a few residents have seen him and seem not to be worried or afraid.. that's not a good thing as he won't stay tiny and his small teeth still carry a lot of bacteria, so you wouldn't want even this little fellow to snap at you.
Ever get the feeling your being watched?

Hell's bells, Pat, that's one scary looking critter. I don't care how big he is I would not tangle with him. Glad to hear someone's trying to catch him.
Eek! He scares me. I hope they catch him soon! Fantastic photos, though!
Cath: yeah i can't imagine anyone saying "he's cute" when he is bigger thats for sure!
Hi Ana (waiting patiently for your vlog *cough*cough) I think once the gator spots people he lays pretty still watching.. so once I spotted him the pictures were easy to take
Holy crow! That's kinda creepy! I wouldn't want to know there was anything like that in my pond! Your pictures are great, btw.

Wow, scary. Hopefully y'all will be able to carefully and kindly get rid of him soon. :)
OMGosh, Pat...what amazing photos!!! (I'm sorry, I can't help it...I still think he's pretty cute.)
When I saw the first picture I immediately thought of the crocodile in Peter Pan that kept coming after Captain Hook!
Ok...so I thought he was super cute, but seriously, I do hope they catch him soon. You certainly don't need him to get any bigger!! He's going to start eating things and that won't be good! Lord you have a myriad of creatures there, huh? lol!
cj: good thing there's no swimming in the pond huh? lol
Jenny: yeah I hope they get him soon! I don't really want to see how much he grows over the winter!
Debi: in his own little TINY (he's tiny) way he's cute.. but he won't be for long..!!
Kathleen: ahhh! excellent! That's what we need! we need him to swollow a clock! "Tick Tock" is back!
I will be seriously ticked off (oh! a pun after the last comment I just made LOL.. oh sorry..it's early) if he gets any of my birds!.. wow.. thinking here.. never NEVER thought of myself as a bird person..but I need something more than a gator to take pics of so I want him gone! lol
You sure got a great closeup to make him look larger. "What large eyes you have grandma"LOL. Helen
HOW FANTABULOUS! A Gator! Oh My!
GREAT GREAT Pictures, Pat!
