Would you mind posting more of the series?
One may hold more info.

Not at all. I'll post now. I have to resize from full frame so it will take a few minutes.

I heard many years ago that they keep their mouth open to gather flies until the mouth is full then close the mouth and gulp them down the stink mouth draw flies
Gators 'gape' for two reasons.
One is NOT to catch flies.
They gape for teeth cleaning by some species of plover and possibly other birds.
And they gape to lower the temperature of the head and brain area.
A mouthful of flies would weigh less than one ounce.
That would not go far in a 500 pound gator, an old wife's tale.

Great pix!
