Man filmed feeding alligator from mouth

A man in the US with an apparent death wish has been filmed mouth feeding marshmallows to alligators in a swamp.

Tourists on a swamp boat in Louisiana filmed the tour guide swimming comfortable with the two alligators.

The man sidles right up to the predators, stroking them beneath the chin before placing a marshmallow between his teeth and letting them eat it.

Bizarrely, the alligator gently takes the sweet from the man's mouth and chomps it down without ever injuring or maiming him.

The video has now attracted the attention of local and state wildlife officials who are reviewing the video to determine if the man broke any laws.
