Alligator approach: The predator slowly creeps out of the lake where it has been hidden, watching the bobcat
Dinner time: As the alligator silently crept up behind its prey, it looked like the unsuspecting feline was about to become this alligator's next meal
Oblivious: It was only when the alligator was about to pounce that the bobcat realised he was under threat
Safe: Suddenly with only seconds to spare, the bobcat spied the threat and leapt into action, sprinting up the edge of the bank
Can't catch me: The bobcat looks behind smugly as the alligator is defeated
Back to square one: The alligator was left hungry on the edge of the grassy bank
