Gators freak me out. Not only do they look fake when they are real, but they just lie in the mud/water and wait for their prey to get into an unlucky position before they strike. Too stressful to handle.
This guy, photographed in the Wakodahatchee Wetlands in south Florida, looks particularly fake. But I assure you, he is real. I know because I saw him actually move with my own two eyes.

That’s a fake gator! :) Ha, no, I know what you mean, their skin looks like rubber, and they’re so stoic that if they didn’t move you’d be hard pressed to prove it was real. Great shots!
