playing chicken with an alligator

couple of thoughts on this sequence. one, do not try this at home. two, i wish i caught this on video. the funny thing is, the girl who was taking these shots, had trouble with my camera, so there was actually a time lapse. the other funny thing is, me and this english guy james actually did this sequence twice. james tried to cross the bench but made to much noise walking, and ran towards us panicking. the alligator was actually more scared, and there natural instinct is to head to water.
either way, this was still pretty stupid. still it was a pretty fun time. by the way, james was the guy who withdrew $400 usd in fake bills.
