That is crazy! It looks like the gator is reacting by instinct. What if that was a huge rock? I think the reaction would have been the same except for the teeth that would then be rolling around in his mouth...
I dunno... that gator looked like he knew exactly what he was getting if he nommed that melon. Something tells me this is not the first time he's has a melon lobbed at his gaping maw.
Always good to keep one alongside the potato-peeler, the juicer and all those other stowed away kitchen-appliances. ;-)
