What) Near Surf City, I saw a variation on the old enter-the-souvenir-shop-through-the-shark's-mouth gag. This one has souvenir seekers enter through an alligator's jaws. Obviously not as big as Swampy or the Kissimmee Gator, maybe this is the 3rd largest gator? It looks new, but there were also some closed and battered attractions nearby, like a decrepit pirate-themed miniature golf course. (1)

    What) 13705 North Carolina Highway 50 at Waves Surf and Sport.  Three miles north of Surf City on Highway 50.   1-910-329-0241

    Why) It's an animal sculpture and it's outdoors.  How can Pam lose?





























This is another one of my unsuccessful attempts at creating a unique picture by using an unusual angle.










When taken from a normal angle, you can really see the power this gator has.







It was not quite enough to crush me though.
