Bravest gator of them all?

Here's a gator that doesn't look so good:

It has a sickly-looking hump on its back and is also supposedly blind.

King of the Swamp?
In my book, yes.

Did I mention it is rather smallish, only 5 feet long, and also looks undernourished?

Apparently, too, it has a penchant for approaching humans, i.e. so it's not even that wild.


But I rank it among my favorite of the bunch.

It got entangled by a python and lived to tell about it.


(Okay, I'll admit, alligators don't talk.)
