Canal Alligator


Here is an alligator that dwells in the canals of Century Village. It has a fish in its mouth. We have a few of these in our canals.

  1. Hi Grace,

    That is an excellent, sleek looking Alligator.

    How long is it?

  2. Hey Dave,
    I guestimate about 27 wallets from head to tail.

  4. If you can only see gators nose and eyes in water -- To estimate the size of an alligator, you measure the length from the tip of the nose to the eyes in inches, and the alligator is that many feet long.

  5. Hi all,

    Hmmm! these are heuristic algorithms at best.

    Someone must seek out the creature and measure it with a tape measure or similar device, and then report the result here.

    Be careful however, research indicates that these aquatic reptiles are predisposed to be quite disagreeable.

    The following site may prove instructive:
