That gator plays the maraccas.
Gotta lure the families towards it somehow 🤷🏻
And likes baby poop.
We live near a park with alligators in an exhibit, they are well fed and lounge on the banks of a little pond, with some turtles, sunning themselves - so I always let my kids lean over the railing, not touch them or anything but I didn’t worry about it since they were fed & lazy.
Until one day, we saw one of them lunge at a turtle and grab it, moving so fast! Crunch crunch gulp. Which disabused me of two wrong ideas. One, that these alligators did not care to have a snack, and two, that nothing but eagles could eat turtles. Someone had told me that no animal could bite through a turtle shell, but that eagles would drop them from a great height to crack them open, and since I’d never seen another animal eat a turtle, I bought it.
So after that, no more leaning over.
A gator yelling at a careless parent for putting their child in a precarious position is a weird thing to put on a sign…
The gator is running for superintendent and wanted the PR boost
In Europe the red circle means “no [whatever is inside the circle]”. It took me a while to figure that out as a Californian.
And to make matters more confusing, a red circle crossed out means “cancel the No from before” so like the end of a loading zone or the end of a no parking zone.
On German streets, a red circle means prohibited, but a red triangle is a warning. For parking, crossed out ones means you can stop for a few minutes, keeping the car in sight, and crossed out twice means you’re not allowed to stop at all. To mark the beginning and end of a no-parking zone, we use arrows.
I know what this means
It is not remotely intuitive that it means that

That sign’s there after learning the hard way that gators will leap up and eat a juicy baby if you dangle it out there like a piece of chicken.
Ahh so location please been looking for where to dispose of my unwanted infants it also is a plus i will be helping feed the local wildlife.
Guessing Australia, but i would expect a second pic of the child in the gators mouth. Many of the warning signs there can be graphic.
We have crocs here, not gators
Yes, of course. I tend to use “gator” to refer to all alligators, crocodiles, caiman, and ghars. I guess I should use “crock” because they are all classified as Crocodylia.
When feeding consider size
But please only feed organic children to the crocodiles.
Best I can do is free range that’s been fed nothing but penicillin and other children.
There isn’t a sign “do not feed” either so…
Recommended even!
If there’s a more convenient way to get rid of a child, I don’t want to know about it
