Gator has Bass for lunch

I didn't see him catch this bass but noticed he had something in his mouth as he moved toward the shore. He just crawled onto shore and had a quick picnic. He wasn't concerned with me at all.

Looks like he's enjoying himself, nice captures Sunfish. 8-)
Thanks Bmac! This is the first shot I ever got of a gator actually eating something. The bass was alive when he crawled on shore but it's hard to imagine that this young gator caught this fish. Maybe he stole it from a bird or it was dropped by a bird and the gator got lucky. I really don't know.

I think they are much better hunters than most people realize. They get big, have multiplied and have had thousands of years to hone their skills. :D

Yum Yum. A most interesting shot. We don't see enough of gators eating fish. Great shots.

Thanks Erv! I've taken 100's of shots of gators and this was the first actually eating something.....and he was an easy target. Even a blind squirrel eventually finds a nut. :) :)
