What do alligators like to eat—besides people’s unattended dogs? Dog biscuits, it turns out. The Sun Sentinel says an airboat captain is facing up to 60 days in jail after he was busted by undercover wildlife officials for trying to lure a gator to the surface for the tourists in his boat. It’s apparently common for boat captains to offer up treats—anything from marshmallows to live fish to dog biscuits—in order to give their customers what they came to see.
