I don't know if it was hungry, but probably not based on the amount of fish swimming near it's mouth and it's apparent disinterest in them. I saw a couple of folks throwing food to it (cookies and such) which it ate. CM's shut them down really quickly, and said security would take a dim view of guests feeding the alligator.

I was told by a CM that it mainly hangs out by and under the bridge that runs under the Beach Club Villas and rarely goes past the area where the pool bathrooms are located at the BCV. I never saw it more than about 10 feet beyond the bridge. It would take a commited person to get down by the water where it was hanging out, but I'm guessing there is someone out there who would try to get a "closer look." That, or one of the parents holding there kids up to see better might lose there grip. Either event would be bad news for the guest, the kid, and Disney, so I wouldn't be suprised at all if it is already a new pair of boots.
