Don't Feed The Alligator!

This alligator was behind our condo in Hilton Head. A sign told us not to feed him. He was always sitting at the same place, facing the condos, where the bank gradually sloped down to the water so that you could see him. He ate cheese-its and cut up hot dogs in one bite. He would chomp on bananas a few times, and then eat them also. He had a posse of turtles that followed him around and grabbed the scraps or bad thows. We could not get him to come completely out of the water, but a guy on a balconey said that they had lured him onto the bank by throwing ice.
