Alligator foot size to size of animal

That's a rougarou print.

Alligators have pretty big feet for their size. Here is a picture that shows that

That’s Godzilla!

Isn't it obvious that the foot slid in the mud? Alligators don't have long claws. You can basically take almost the entire length of those claw marks off the front and back of the track to get a more accurate length.

claws are not long but you are forgetting they got some rather long toes.

Does is have a name?

On tv all big gators have names and legends associated with them.

You say that, but it’s a spot on the river were everyone swims. Ummm frick that

Big gators are like big bucks, they don't like people. Gator that size is probably 20+ years old. You don't live to be 20 by being around Coonasses and rednecks all the time that shoot next to their camp.

He may have been passing through, but they rarely stay by people. I wouldn't worry too much.

Lol, true. But most of the gator attacks are in places like sloughs and canals that have running and walking paths next to them. Its usually a kid or small women by herself or with a small dog, and the gator is in feeding mode.

Generally speaking if you are raising hell and there's multiple people, the gators move away.

I'd say more like 10-12ft OP. The chances of it being a 13 or 14 are pretty rare and some of those big 14s have insanely big feet. I think the soft mud makes it look bigger

[quote]Alligator numbers have exploded in the last 25 years, but for some reason attacks on humans are extremely rare in this state. In fact, it is claimed that Louisiana has never experienced a fatal gator attack, but that may be incorrect. A 1774 coroner’s inquest at the French outpost of Fort St. Jean Baptiste in Natchitoches concluded that an alligator killed one of the area residents. About 7 a.m. on August 10, a slave woman informed coroner Jacques de la Chaise that there was a nude body lying on the bank of Red River (modern-day Cane River). De la Chaise, Father Vitry, and a handful of other men went to the river and found the body of Jacques du Bois, the fort’s blacksmith, lying half in the water. De la Chaise wrote in his coroner’s report, “We found near the ear, three wounds equally distant from [illegible]. In addition to this, we found the eyes bulging and unusually swollen. We did not notice any other wound on the rest of the body, which led us to believe an alligator had attacked him while he was bathing, since we found the body nude.”Whenever someone died at Fort St. Jean Baptiste, it was customary to inventory all of their possessions. If there was no heir, the local people were called to the fort by a series of drum rolls for a public auction of the goods.

Unless there have been a few in the past 3 years since the article I'm not that worried. Are there many attacks other than people antagonizing them in LA?
