The alligator is so close to the edge of the water, that his left legs must be embedded deep into the mud...You need to give him a little more maneuvering room on that side, or else he'll never be able to haul himself out of the water to snack.

LOL...do you know how hard it is to find a suitably menacing alligator pic with the right lighting? Let's just suppose the water's deep enough to hide his legs...as a matter of fact his front legs are probably facing rearwards because they're busy propelling him toward his snack. Yeah, that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!
