2) [synewave] 31-8-2007(14): Saltwater crocs swim in the sea like fish. Right side = crocodile primative. Pictograph - 2 big eyes and one massive snare for a mouth.

3) [billyclyde] 3-9-2008(4): (This is pictographic cheating, but I think Heisig would approve.) The upper right is a CAJUN's two eyes and his mouth, licking his lips. He's set a SNARE out in the bayou, for the one delicacy he loves more than FISH– the fearsome alligator! He can't wait to catch one and make a fine sauce piquant!

4) [melchan] 3-10-2009(2): The right side looks like a pictograph of an alligator with its two eyes (the mouths), and one snare mouth waiting the unaware fishes to go inside.
