The Thanksgiving festivities started early for a group of hungry alligators who gobbled down whole turkeys.
Orlando-based Michael Womer, aka the Gator Crusader, released a new video of him feeding his reptilian pals.
‘This is how you do Thanksgiving with alligators,’ Womer says in the video as he talks to his gators while wearing a turkey hat.

At one point, a larger gator is seen doing a death roll as he rips his portion of the turkey off.
Meanwhile, the other reptile is seen chomping on a turkey leg.
Two other gators join in on ripping the turkey to shreds and both of them do a death roll at the same time.
One of the alligators came out with a large piece of the turkey.
‘Oh you got a big piece handsome boy,’ Womer says as the alligator swims off to the side of his enclosure.

‘And just like humans Thanksgivings, there is always somebody who eats too much,’ Womer says in the video as he hands off a whole 15-pound turkey to a very large alligator in a different enclosure.
The alligator, named Chomper, quickly walked over to the water and devoured his turkey.
At one point, Womer even brushed Chomper’s teeth before using the same toothbrush on his own teeth.
‘And that’s how you do Thanksgiving in Florida,’ Womer said as the video concluded.
Womer has worked with alligators for 25 years and has posted clips of himself, texting with his phone inside a gator’s mouth and reading an issue of a Deadpool comic to an eager gator audience.
