I watched this bull swim to shore and walk on all fours up to the grass. Then when he lay back down I got into position on my stomach for this low pov shot. The gator then moved its massive head sideways and picked up something from in the grass and then threw its head back and swallowed the whatever morsel.
Once done swallowing it lowered its head and stared directly at me. I got up and moved.

It must've been in a fight recently because if you look closely you'll see a hole or slit on the under side of its jaw, and it's missing at least one front tooth. Would love to have seen that fight.
