If you want a picture make good use of that zoom lens and take it from a distance.
EXACTLY, I agree with quinn22!! The only reason I got some close ups was because I am behind a fence on the patio and the gator is in the water. Security wouldn't even let us get that close anyway. CM's and security were always around making sure no one did anything crazy.Quinn222 said:As a FL resident may I just say (without trying to alarm anyone) that 'gators are very very fast.

Anyway parents-take your kids to see the gator, remember, you don't have to be able to outrun the gator, so long as you can outrun your kids...![]()
