Authorities have hired an investi-gator to look into the incident…

Steve Irwin’s got nothing on this guy. That’s mainly because Steve Irwin’s dead, but also because we haven’t see any footage of the Australian wildlife expert feeding wild alligators chicken and marshmallows… from his own mouth.

That’s right, his own floopin’ mouth.

The remarkable footage, according to The New York Daily News, shows a tour guide with Airboat Adventures in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, swimming with and feeding two of the carnivorous creatures as a boatful of delighted tourists watch on. The lady who recorded the video, Stacy Hicks, had this to say; “our crazy guide jumped in the water and fed the alligator from his mouth!”

Yeah, we know Stacy. Did you not read the article?

Louisiana state and wildlife authorities are now looking into the incident, probably in a scientific bid to find out whether the alligators preferred the taste of the white marshmallows or the pink ones.

The joke’s on the alligators though, the two actually taste exactly the same! HA! Silly animals.
