american alligator

Hi Keegan, because Project Noah is a community that shares wildlife encounters we like to ensure the organisms remain the main focus of the photography. Please would you crop the image so that we are able to see the alligator in more detail, & removing the emphasis on the child.

From what I know about alligators, I'd guess this animal is about 3-4 years-old.

this was around 3ft long the man leting me hold this didnt tell me how old this was any ideas
