Hello Andre!
Your question is a good one!

I can certainly read your writing of Alligator, which is in my  
attached diagram (yours is pasted to the right)...but technically your  
writing has the hands directed to the side...the side view, like the  
hand in Hamburger that you mention, can show the fingers directed up  
much better - you are right about that! But in my example, I was  
writing it with the hands directed forward...so it is a difference  
between the hands directed to the side wall, or directed straight  
forward...we do not have an animated GIF for this handshape yet, or I  
could show you better...

Please see attached diagram...
