Man Tries To Kiss Baby Alligator, And This Is What Happens Next
While certain animals, like universally adorable dogs, are undeniably cute, it's crucial to exercise caution with all creatures.?
And that is true especially when it comes to alligators - and one man seems to have learnt his lesson the hard way, as seen in a viral video.?
Harmless moment turned tragic?
The video features a man holding a baby alligator, thinking its a harmless little creature.?
The guy shooting the video can be heard saying playfully, "Aww, look at that little puppy. What kind of dog is that?"?
He asks the man on camera to give the animal a kiss, and things take an ugly turn then.?
As the man leans in to kiss the alligator on its "cheeks," the reptile swiftly snaps its jaws, resulting in a bite on his nose.?
The "after picture" reveals the man with a bloody nose, adorned with bite marks. It turns out it wasn't a "little puppy" after all.?
Netizens quick to call it stupid?
The video has amassed over 3.5 lakh views, with netizens labeling the act as 'stupid' and sharing humorous remarks.?
Comments include, "Play stupid games; win stupid prizes," and a sarcastic take on the "smile on the puppy's face."?
Reflecting on the incident, one commenter emphasises the importance of respecting wildlife, stating, "There¡¯s hundreds of organizations that say 'don¡¯t mess with the wildlife,' and it¡¯s for a reason."?
A piece of advice surfaces for future encounters, "Lesson: Next time, close its jaws before you kiss a baby reptile."?
Kissing a snapping turtle?
This incident echoes a similar occurrence in 2018 when a man attempted to kiss a snapping turtle, assuming it was cute.
In the video, the man goes on to attempt kissing the turtle while rubbing its belly. Well, no prizes for guessing how it turned out - the bite was quick to come.?
In the end, these incidents serve as a reminder that humans should not treat all animals like they do dogs. After all, it is necessary to remember that nature, though soothing, remains inherently wild and unpredictable.? ?
