Wildlife: American Alligator, 1 by Thaumaturgist

The American Alligator is known for its fierce territorial behaviour. Although this lake is packed with them, of all sizes of male and females, I had hardly noticed any case of severe injury.

Until this one.

On a bright, sunny January afternoon, this Alligator was noticed showing a decidedly favored rear left leg as it came out of the water. It then postured itself on the slope of the lake with the injury facing the sun.
