How I caught an alligator

Photos from my recent trip to Amazon.  We went Caiman catching at night...all was fine till I wanted to hold one myself.  Words slipped out of my mouth in jest and there was no way out !
Fear - Will it bite me?


Anxiety - What if it bites me?

Relief - Looks like I did it

Exultation - I am THE man :)

I then turned around and asked the guide if it is edible. He reached out for a plastic bag with a disgusted look...and no, I did throw it back alive into the swamp.
