on Oct 23, 2020
You know the feeling when you do something embarrassing, and you just want to disappear? Looks like alligators get that way too.

In the footage below, Seven the alligator is waiting for a big piece of chicken from wildlife biologist Christopher Gilette. Gilette dangles the piece of chicken near Seven, waiting for him to open his mouth so that he can toss it in.
Gilette tosses the chicken, but somehow Seven misses, and the chicken drops to the ground. Rather than tearing into his snack, Seven slinks away, seemingly embarrassed that he wasn’t able to catch his treat.
“How cute is Seven fumbling the chicken and getting embarrassed.”
After a brief time relaxing in the water, Gilette is able to coax Seven to turn around and move toward him. He picks up the chicken and offers it to Seven again, who still takes a moment to decide whether he’s ready to give catching his snack another try. Happily, he opens his mouth, and as Gilette tosses the chicken, Seven catches it without a hitch.
In the caption alongside the video, Gilette mentions that he was trying to make an impressive video – but it ended up being an adorable one instead.
