American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)
This alligator was living in a stormwater detention pond near the Walmart at Monkey Junction. While I was taking photos, the waitress of a local restaurant came over to look and told me that the gator appears to be one that has living in the pond for some time, likely eating the goose goslings that used to live in the area. I was talking the photo from a distance and from behind a fence. However, the gator felt threatened and started deliberate charge towards me -- which is what is captured in this image.
