EASY to REMEMBER
Uploaded: February 13, 2013
This is one of those Gators who you find VERY EASY to remember because of it's off set jaws. Probably the result of an encounter with a bigger stronger territorial Bull Gator. This is a very easy disfigurement to pick up on and make future ID of this fellow simple. He was also a bit more cautious about my presence then the other 2 8 footers. He moved a bit closer to the water as I was shooting
while his associates just basked in the sun.

I guess getting your jaw realigned could be enough to make anybody skittish! Terrific close-up, Jack! #10566302Michael Frazier February 13, 2013
Wow! Great close up shot Jack. I would have been too scared to notice the offset jaw. #10566407Jack Ryan February 13, 2013
Maybe his jaw was offset from biting down on some hard-core but careless photographer and his camera...??? Nice shot! Excellent detail. #10566518John Connolly February 13, 2013
