Tackling The Beast!

I am currently in Florida, and today I filmed some videos at Jungle Island for The Biblical Museum of Natural History. We'll post the videos on the museum Facebook/ YouTube page soon, but meanwhile, here's a photo of an alligator that I fed. This particular alligator was extremely aggressive and dangerous, having killed a crocodile which shared its enclosure. The trainer is grasping my belt at the back, ready to pull me backwards if anything went wrong!

    Are not they advising not to feed alligators directly, so they would not associate humans with food?

      On reflection I think 'give me back my rock-hyrax!' would have been funnier... poor little bunny-wabbit. Next time...

    Can't get you gator to behave? Is he beginning to salivate more often when your doggy approaches the beast's enclosure?

    Call Rabbi Slifkin, the aligator whisperer!
