Now that's a different look at a gator, Phil, and a cool pose with the nostrils just above the surface. Fun shot.

Wouldn't think an alligator could do cute, but you've got it here. devil

Definitely an undercover alligator, Phil! The large view is particularly nice as you can see much more detail and it puts you right there with it!
