Man uses alligator as part of gender reveal
When Mike Kliebert and his girlfriend tried to think of a new way to announce the sex of their expected child at a gender reveal party, only one thing came to mind: alligators.

As an experienced alligator wrangler, Kliebert wasn’t afraid at all when he threw a watermelon into the mouth of Sally the alligator and watched blue Jell-O explode from inside.
“What better way to do it than having an alligator that is 61 years old that my grandfather hatched in 1957?” Kliebert told Huffington Post.
