Gator!

OK, back in Texas again... We went looking for gators at Brazos Bend State Park and found them. Male American Aligators can grow to 15 feet or more and over 1000 pounds while full grown females are smaller at around 10 feet.

This one, trying to gather a little sun on a large tree log, was 4 to 5 feet long and we saw some I estimated to be well over 10 feet. They have five toes but if you click on the picture to enlarge it you will see this fellow has lost one and has four on the front right.

For comparison, an Australian saltwater crocodile can get to 22 feet or so and 2500 pounds.
