Alligator Resting on a log. Looks serene doesn't it?

However, an alligator can travel at 35 mph, typically about 20 mph. How fast can you run? So, even serene looking, this alligator is lethal. Notice how our photographer mimicked the color of the alligator with its surroundings...and this is NOT photoshopped. We just have an awesome photographer. Large horizontal photo measures 20 x 16".

The good news about the alligator chasing you...it can only last for about 100 feet. So, if you have started with distance between you and can last the 100 yards, you should be good. But, be careful. Florida has over 1 million alligators.
