Construction makes this guy very difficult to get to right now, but the process gave us a heap of laughter. Right across the street from Jaguars stadium.

Mr. Alligator is still in very good shape. Had a basketball in his mouth -- not sure they meant for it to be there -- right across from the stadium.
