VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – How do you get an alligator to smile and wave for a photo?
Ask Port Orange, Florida, resident Melissa Chadwell to take the photo. That’s how!
She recently shared a hilarious photo in the Alligators of Florida Facebook group that caught a lot of people in a chuckle.
“Too cute,” Chadwell exclaimed in the post along with the viral snap she took several months ago of a gator trying to climb up onto a dock in Volusia County. The small reptile appeared to be looking for any opportunity to pose.
“It was pure luck that I got this,” Chadwell said.
