Alligator Chases RC Boat

July 4, 2009

“Shot on Bayou Black in South Louisiana, the video shows a 4-foot alligator chasing a radio-controlled model boat. Unlike most alligators, this little guy was not shy, and swam all around our boat while we were fishing for about 2 hours. I got the idea to put the RC boat in the water to see what he would do. He chased it and even snapped at it a couple of times when I let him get too close!” — dblejeune
