What a spectacular shot. My god my heart would be racing if I saw the gator. Do they chase people?

Thank you. Yes, they can. They can actually run quite fast over short distances. I never get that close to them just in case. This was taken with a telephoto lens from one of the boardwalks at Gatorland in Florida….It’s very safe and there are lots of gators!!! I don’t think I would want to be one of the birds! :o)
