Frighten pond predators and unsuspecting friends with this realistic reptilian replica. Both Gator Pond Decoys are sure to make heads turn whether wildlife or human. Exceptional detail & hand painting makes these floating alligator heads a valuable deterrent for unwanted pond visitations. Gator decoys floats freely across koi ponds and water gardens, demonstrating life-like motion with wind or water movement. Reflective red eyes add to realism. Great for any water area infested with geese, egrets, cormorants, herons and other unwanted wildlife. (we have had limited success with mallards & wood ducks. Northern ducks seem to want to be friends with the decoys). The Alligator are made from durable urethane foam. Protect prized koi and other pond fish with your very own "guard gators." Add a little fun to your pond, while protecting your valuable fish Both the 22" & the 28" floating alligators float freely and life-like in the pond or pool. Birds think that they're being followed by a predator so they leave for a safer area. Made entirely in the United States. Both have reflective red eyes. EACH ALLIGATOR IS HAND PAINTED WITH UV RESISTANT PAINT TO LAST MANY YEARS! No two alike! This item includes (1) Gator Jr = 22-1/2" x 8-1/2" x 3" high & (1) Gator = 28-1/2" x 9-1/4" x 5-1/2" high. ...........Hey, buy two of each and make a gator family, to scare the predators even more..........Note: Can also be used as a kickboards in swimming pools!

Look great but they don't scare the geese at all!
While they look awesome and realistic, they do not scare any geese away. At my lake house I had a problem with geese coming in from the lake next to the dock. In this dropcam clip - https://video.nest.com/clip/901b5dbb609348539d17de2ad5e0d722.mp4 - you can see the geese swimming right by the alligator head which is hidden behind the plant on the left side of the screen. They totally ignored the alligator. Here is a second clip that shows the geese in the yard with the alligator looking on just to the left of the dock. I even gave it a long leash so it would move about freely! - https://video.nest.com/clip/57603e8af0634c4f965beb40fb0476ab.mp4 - Back to the drawing board.

Aligators look Great!
I purchased these alligator heads specifically to deter a Blue Heron and raccoons that visit my koi pond. I can say the workmanship and realistic looking appearance are great however they do nothing to scare off the heron and raccoons. I have multiple video clips of the heron in the pond fishing just inches away from the alligators. At this point I left them in the pond as decorations because they make a great conversation topic every time friends come over.

so far so good
They have been in our river for two weeks, and no Canadian geese ....yet. The blue heron and ducks are not afraid of them.I had to go to Cabelas and pick up a 6 pack of weights for them ($38), so it would be nice to have them included. Also the eye hook for the weight attach is small so I had to use some old key rings to attach the weights.

Realistic looking
Raccoons have been ravaging my koi pond. So far these kept them away. Made of foam that is very realistic looking. There's a small eyelet hook on the bottom if you want to anchor it.

look good in the water
We buy a few new ones every year. These last longer than some. There used to be one with a baby on its head, it looked real. But the review from the wife who bought it for her husband to put a remote control in it might be on to something. I would buy those. The remote would have to be able to work from 75' away. What a GREAT idea.

These things are great looking.
I bought these to put one in my pond and the other to put in our display pool at the shop.Everyone that has seen them have been amazed by them. I'm sure you sell a few more to them.The painting on these are incredibly detailed way beyond what I was expecting to show up.
