LAFITTE, Louisiana — Local and state wildlife officials are not amused at this home video from a recent swamp boat tour in Louisiana.

Tourists filmed the guide in the water feeding chicken and marshmallows to two alligators – including letting one gator take a marshmallow directly from his mouth.

The guide can be seen swimming and touching the alligators — even letting a gator rest its head on top of him in the water.
