Alligator grabbing food

Taken during a boat trip on the Atchafalaya Swamp which covers 1.4 million acres and is the largest wetland and swamp in the United States. The driver of the boat held some beef steak scraps over the side of the boat in his bare hands and banged on the side of the boat until the alligators came up and grabbed it, something he wouldn't want to do with our cocodiles or he wouldn't have any hand left. The basin begins near Simmesport, La., and stretches 140 miles southward to the Gulf of Mexico.
