A gender-reveal video in Louisiana was assisted this week by a live alligator, who presumedly did not understand what was going on.
9 facts and 4 questions regarding this alligator-assisted Louisiana gender reveal
How else was T-Mike, the Gator King, going to reveal the sex of his baby?
In a video shared by Melody Kliebert to her Facebook, you can see a man guiding an alligator to bite into a hollowed-out watermelon, which had a goo inside with which to reveal the gender of the baby (no spoilers, you can watch the video). At the end of the video, a small child rolls around on the ground near the alligator and, by the looks of it, nearly gets eaten.
After the video, I will share nine facts and have four questions regarding it.
Facts
- This took place in Ponchatoula, Louisiana.
- As someone who has visited Ponchatoula, Louisiana, I can say with all honesty: I was not surprised to learn this took place in Ponchatoula, Louisiana.
- The blue goo that was inside the hollowed out watermelon would indicate that the Klieberts will be having a boy.
- The man working with the gator is named Mike Kliebert, but professionally he goes by “T-Mike, the Gator King.”
- I need to work on my branding. I’m over here “Nate Scott, writer and editor” like some big dumb idiot, and here’s “T-Mike, the Gator King” dunking in my face.
- Ponchatoula is known as the Strawberry Capital of the World. They host a Strawberry Fest every year in April.
- I went to the Strawberry Fest one year and ate some strawberries.
- I’ve eaten more than my fair share of strawberries and let me say: They had some good-ass strawberries at the Ponchatoula Strawberry Fest.
- That gator wanted to eat the child rolling around at the end of that video.
Questions
- Was this gator brought in special by “T-Mike, the Gator King,” or does the gator like, live in the swimming pool?
- Is this a family gator? Or, like, a town gator? (I know that sounds ridiculous, but in some parishes in Louisiana alligators are allowed to run for office, so serving as a town mascot is more than feasible.)
- Is the state of Florida watching this video and thinking, ‘Shit, we gotta step our game up’?
- Were the big guy not there to sit on the gator, would it have eaten the child at the end?
I can actually answer the last one: Yes. Yes is the answer.
