After the bigger fellow from my post Alligator Coming Up got settled I turned my head to watch an Egret and the little gator bailed off into the water. I watched him swim around the ramp and then he took at turn at climbing up.

He made a huge effort, flailing his front and back legs around.

I can do it!

Almost there, just need to get that back leg a little higher!

And then he lost his grip.

Notice that the bigger Alligator never moved during all this action.

Down, down, down into the water he went.
