File this under the Welp, We've Never See THAT Before category… A couple in Louisiana gathered together many friends and family members this week in order to reveal the gender of their unborn child. But they didn't use any balloons or cakes to surprise everyone (themselves included) with this piece of information. They used an alligator. Seriously. Mike “T-Mike” Kliebert and Rebecca Miller are both trained alligator handlers and they took full advantage of their skills in this unique area by inviting one of their favorite reptiles to their party. In the following footage, which has been viewed over 7 million times on Facebook, Mike feeds the alligator a small watermelon. You can see the creator's mouth snap shut, prior to blueberry Jell-O pouring out forth, thereby indicating that Mike and Miller are having a little boy. Hooray, right?!? Family and friends are seen cheering along with the husband and wife. The clip has gone viral because, well… you did read that a man used an alligator to reveal his baby's sex, right? Among those who commented on the video was Chrissy Teigen, who has never met a social media moment she did not fully embrace. “aaah yes the classic jello watermelon alligator snap gender reveal, who could ever get enough of these precious moments,” she wrote in response to the reveal. For whatever it's worth, meanwhile, the alligator is named Sally and has appeared in American Horror Story and is set to appear in upcoming movie Louisiana Caviar starring Katharine McPhee and Richard Dreyfuss. What does the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries think of this stunt? It does not recommend using alligators for gender reveals. “It wasn’t harmful to the animal,” a spokesperson told The Huffington Post. “But we discourage and don’t condone anyone using an animal as exhibition piece. Also, it is not wise to have a dangerous animal in such a demonstration so close to humans, especially children.” That's a fair point. Watch the footage now:
