Floating Alligator JR. | Predator Deterrent | Pond Diffuser Marker

This gator head is AWESOMELY realistic! We wanted it for our pond for fun, and we wanted it to look real. It's a riot fooling people, and we just enjoy watching it floating around. Not sure it would scare birds, if that's your purpose, our wild ducks weren't bothered by it. Like others have mentioned, the red eyes are reflective stickers peeling off when the head comes out of the box, but we didn't care about red eyes either and so we threw them away before it went in the water. If you're looking for a realistic gator to create interest in a pond or body of water, this head is for you. We let it just float around free, going where the wind blows it, but it does have a little hook on the underside that you could use to anchor it. It never blows all the way to shore, it just wanders around the pond, natural looking, we love it.

Stickers on eyeballs were peeling back upon arrival. I dot. Give much hope they’ll last long once in the water. I credit (or discredit) Amazon for shipping taking longer than advertised.

This has stickers for eyes, they are not painted and the stickers came off within 2 minutes of putting in the water

It looks like the real thing (well except for the red eyes) and it seems to be keeping the heron out of my pond. The red eyes do make it look evil. Whatever it takes to keep that bird away from my fish.

It is ok but didn’t keep anything out of my pond

Very lifelike in my koi pond! Love it 😊

After putting this sucker in my koi pond, I have not once seen the heron that briefly plagued my fish. My only complaint is that it chipped (VERY slightly) during shipping and I had to glue the chunk of foam back together before "releasing" my new gator into the wild.

Love this he looks so real in my koi pond floating around with our plants
