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

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

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!

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 !
