I must start off by saying yesterday's alligator was "on the payroll" according to our guide. He was raised from birth and quite tame. He would tap the boat and swim over. I really don't think the man was in any real danger.
This little guy is apparently a year and 2 months old. Our guide found him a year ago and brought him home. He lives in an aquarium at his house and comes to work with him daily to amuse the tourists. He appeared from a cooler. We all got to hold and "pet" him. He will be released into the wild at some point.
