I captured this wildlife image of a large American Alligator at the Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. I am estimating it's size as approximately nine foot long and probably at least seven hundred pounds. The interesting part is that there is at least one twelve to thirteen foot long one that makes this one look small.
