Alligator #0016 — BayouSelf Wildlife Archive

Alligator #0016 — BayouSelf Wildlife Archive

Fourteen feet. Let that sink in. Alligator #0016 is one of the most extraordinary subjects in the entire BayouSelf archive — a fully mature, large-bodied American alligator photographed in the wild Louisiana wetlands. At 14 feet in length, this animal represents the upper limit of the species, a living testament to decades of survival in one of North America’s most demanding ecosystems.

This is a rare multi-image entry. Unlike most archive entries, Alligator #0016 is documented across multiple high-resolution field photographs, giving collectors and researchers an exceptional look at this animal from multiple angles and moments in the field.

Part of the BayouSelf 1,000 Alligators Archive, a long-form documentary photography project dedicated to capturing one thousand individual wild alligators across Louisiana’s wetlands. Each image is a numbered field record — one creature, one moment, one truth of the bayou.
