September 25, 2006: Gator gets deer

A reader (thanks!) sends along this set and it turned out to have been documented on Snopes. That link leads to a press release with larger images.

This is from 2004, but you know the deal - I haven't seen 'em before and maybe you haven't either. In any case, mind-boggling. Taken by a fire helicopter, they estimate the gator at about 13 feet.

Seen this happen... it is always amazing.

In the second pic, the gator appears to be smiling but then why wouldn't he be?

Hmmm . . . surf n' turf :3eye:

Why do I always look at these?

Because you are an intelligent and inquisitive woman.

Well, I am the brains of the operation ;)

but I don't recall offering you ten bucks to say that...

shhh! pocket the $10 fee, then use it as a tax write-off. cha-ching!

Pretty good photo's even from a girls point of view. Poor deer.
Our Aussie hero Steve Irwin would loved to have seen this, but I'm positive that he's seen better shots then this one and in person.
R.I.P. Steve. :angel:

Is that an alligator or a crocodile? i don't know the differences....

From Snopes; South Georgia is near the South Carolina border? Gotta brush up on my geography....or Barb's gotta brush up on her typing.

They say Alligator, but that could be a croc(k). :blush:

They dont have crocs in the US!

...Do they?

It's an alligator. There are only two species of alligator... the American Alligator and the Chinese Alligator. Alligators are crocodilians, but not true crocodiles. Non-extinct crocodilians include true crocodiles, alligators, caimans, gharials, and false gharials. Here is a nice picture to compare the heads.

Cool critters, huh? :)

The American Crocodile. Not to be confused with the American Alligator.

Hi maximum, welcome to the Cellar.

Cool critters? You wouldn't think so if you tried to get a drink and one of those suckers burst up and grabbed your nose. :lol2:
