I watched a show the other night. Man vs. Wild.

The guy is a survivalist who gets dropped off in various environments and finds his way back to civilization,while demonstrating survival skills. One of my favorite programs. (There’s a Father’s Day marathon on Discovery right now!)

Anyhow, he’s in the Everglades,and he catches a 1 year old alligator. I figure, since he said that there’s over a million gators there in the Everglades, he’s going to eat the little bugger.

But he puts it down,saying it would be a good meal but IT’S PROTECTED!!

How is an alligator a protected species if there are millions??
