An alligator is capable of short bursts of 30 mph. I've seen it in person on the golf course once when a worker walked up two feet from a gator and the gator took for the nearest pond about 40 yards away. The worker was a young guy and ran very fast but couldn't grab the tail of that gator. Why he wanted to, I don't know, maybe he was as dumb as the people in the photo.
