Risky business: Feeding alligators is an offence in Florida.

A Florida airboat captain whose hand was bitten off by an alligator is facing charges over his attempt to feed the animal.

Collier County Jail records show that Wallace Weatherholt, 63, has been charged with unlawfully feeding the alligator and has posted a $1,000 (£640) bond.

His next court date is August 22.

Weatherholt was attacked on June 12 as he was giving an Indiana family a tour.

The family said Weatherholt hung a fish over the side of a boat and had his hand at the water's surface when the nine-foot long animal attacked.

Wildlife officers tracked down and killed the alligator.

Weatherholt's hand was found too, but it could not be reattached.

Now why did they kill the Gator? he only did what is in his nature...
