I will be sure not to feed the monkeys in our area.

Feeding the wild animals is illegal here in Florida. BUT, there is this air boat captain who takes tourists out to see the sights of the everglades. To spice up his tour, he feeds alligators to get them near his boat so the tourists will get excited. Well, wouldn't you know it, an alligator bit off his hand. They took him to the hospital. Florida Wildlife gave him a ticket.

If you watch the video, it says they got the hand out of the alligator's gut, but doesn't mention if they reattached it.
