When photographing wildlife, especially dangerous creatures, it's important to stay a smart and safe distance away. One photographer over in Florida didn't, and as the 2-minute video above shows, he almost found himself in the jaws of an angry alligator.

Raccoon Photographed Riding on an Alligator’s Back

Tyler Shields Feeds Genuine $100K Hermes Bag to a Gator… Because… Art

It's a safe bet the majority of people consider $100,000 a bit steep for a handbag, and if they were ever given one as a gift, they would probably go to extreme lengths to make sure it was never damaged (or... you know... sell it).

"Impossible" stories don't seem to be all that impossible where cameras are concerned. For example, you might remember the Canon compact that found its way back to its owner after drifting 6,200 miles across the ocean to Taiwan.

After losing $1,300 worth of camera equipment to an alligator at the Everglades Alligator Farm eight months ago, another alligator was kind enough to return amateur wildlife photographer Mario Aldecoa's gear to him last week.
