September 25, 2006: Gator gets deer
 A reader (thanks!) sends along this set and it turned out to have been documented on Snopes. That link leads to a press release with larger images. This is from 2004, but you know the deal - I haven't seen 'em before and maybe you haven't either. In any case, mind-boggling. Taken by a fire helicopter, they estimate the gator at about 13 feet.

In the second pic, the gator appears to be smiling but then why wouldn't he be?

Pretty good photo's even from a girls point of view. Poor deer.
Our Aussie hero Steve Irwin would loved to have seen this, but I'm positive that he's seen better shots then this one and in person. R.I.P. Steve.

Hi maximum, welcome to the Cellar.
Cool critters? You wouldn't think so if you tried to get a drink and one of those suckers burst up and grabbed your nose.
