It is a rather large alligator. Possibly he owns this side of the lake. Thanks for the visit, Marie-claire.

I'm glad I am sitting in front of the screen looking at this creature, certainly wouldn't be standing in front of him.

I thought it was a granite stepping stone. I think I had better stay in Europe!

It offers a different variety of danger from a rock. They tend to be not particularly aggressive most of the time.

Thanks, Jaap. They aren't as aggressive as crocodiles. ;-) I read recently that the force of their bite is several tonnes.

What an interesting photo. Where not you worried that it might be dangerous ?

I was not worried, Ingrid. The alligator was apparently asleep about 10 m from the shore, and I was watching it carefully.

It really is a very large alligator. They sleep a lot (while digesting). ;-)
