Alligator bites off airboat captain's hand in front of horrified tourists after he taunted it with marshmallows (but his hand was then retrieved from dead alligator's stomach)

An airboat captain from Everglades City, Florida, had his hand ripped off by an alligator while he was allegedly feeding the animal on Tuesday.

Witnesses said the victim, an employee of Captain Doug’s Everglades Tours known as Captain Wally, was seen feeding an alligator marshmallows minutes before the animal bit off his hand.

Incredibly, the severed limb was later retrieved from the reptile's stomach when officials from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) tracked down and killed the gator.
