A man has been killed by an alligator just moments after he mocked the animals for daring to interfere with his swim.
Tommie Woodward and an unnamed woman were swimming in a bayou in Burkart's Marina in Louisiana on Friday.
The 28 year old was warned that the deadly animals were in the water, but it didn't stop him jumping in.
Orange County Justice of the Peace Rodney Price told KDFM that Woodward didn't heed warnings from nearby people and ignored clear signposting about the dangers in the water.
"He removed his shirt, removed his billfold ... someone shouted a warning and he said 'blank the alligators' and jumped in to the water. He was quickly attacked by the alligator and didn't survive his injuries.'
