This guy looks a little like the alligator that comes to the edge of our lake occasionally. I nicknamed him "Junior" because he is a small inexperienced gator. I approach him to scare him away because he needs to fear people. If an alligator comes close to the shoreline it means someone has been feeding him and he will be destroyed if caught. When I am a few feet from him, he turns and splashes me with his tail. I want to try and teach him not to get too friendly for his own sake. This shot was taken at Lettuce Lake November 2016.
