He lives at a great little zoo called Alligator Adventure in North Myrtle Beach, SC.  I didn't get it on camera, but when he climbed into the little pond in his enclosure, he actually plopped in. Not very graceful, but absolutely adorable! Check out his cute little butt! I love him! Liz from NC (35teen)."

I just saw Bob last week, too! Hooray for Bob!

Bob looks like a bottletop opener.

I guess bob just bobs in the water.

I live in Florida where gators are plentiful & any leisurely stroll by the water must be done in running cleats.. I have heard alligators being referred to as many things... dog-eaters, devourers of small children, "lunch" ...

But never "adorable" ...

I've seen Bob as well. He has to waddle like a duck to get around. It's rather sad but the guy is so spoiled at Alligator Adventures. I need to post a picture of the huge albino gators that I swear wizzes this neon green bile on command. It's a nose opener.

Can anyone explain the function and importance of an alligator's tail? Why does it need the tail to swim or get into water without "plopping?"
