The wildlife photographer said alligators are "obviously not fluffy rabbits" but he couldn't resist capturing the scene -- the least he could get for a lost lunch.
In Florida, feeding alligators is illegal, not only because they develop a taste for burgers, but because they lose their fear of approaching humans, especially in areas where people commonly go.
One experienced Floridian at the picnic managed to lure the alligator back into the water, but not before it ate all their food. The group said they'll certainly mind where they set up picnics in the future.
