Cor it needs some dental work..it's got buck teeth !   ;D

I think it's real.

[SnooziSuzi]

looks concrete to me!

[Heldi]

Aaah that is it's cunning disguise you see  :D  Clever things these gators y'know. Thats why you never see 'em in the city. Blend in they do.

[kenkew]

I'd think twice about poking it!

[Lauren S]

I have voted yes, mainly because the front leg is positioned backwards.

Lauren  ::)

[prink13]

I agree with Lauren - definitely real - I hope!

[Georgie]

The voting is quite close so I think I'll leave this going until Friday evening.   ;D

ooh you tease. I still think it's real ..for the same reason as Lauren..it's leg position.

[OllieC]

I reckon it's real or at least it was once! I'm sure I saw him in London zoo once.

[lorna]

Voted no but then again I have had to order new glasses!!!!

[twinkletoes]

I don't think it is real.   I think it is a minature stone replica photographed close up to make it look more life-size.  However, I am not about to tread on it to make sure!

I have voted 'No', mainly because the front leg is positioned backwards.

[caroline7758]

I voted yes- think it's enjoying the sun!

[lorna]

Georgie, don't forget the deadline, then you can satisfy our curiosity :)

[Doris_Pinks]

Hahaha I voted yes, which has put the voting at neck and neck! ;D

[Georgie]

Okay, time to reveal the truth.  The alligator is real and well done to everyone who got it right.  We saw it last weekend at Paradise Park in Broxbourne.   ;D

Hah  ! I knew I was right lol!  Victory Mexican wave from all of us who voted yes! ;D ;D ;D

The front leg backwards is a classic croc/gator movement. Think of them sliding into the water. I saw a lifesized sculpture of an alligator in August,it was posed with both feet forward and it's head up..a typical pose for a piece of art but not a typical pose I would have thought. 

Thanks G that was fun !

[lorna]

My mistake was down to my "out of date" glasses :) new ones arriving in 10 days ::)
