in the meantime, while we continue to wait, we'll bring back in jeff musial, animal expert. he knows all about these alligators. jeff, that's one of the questions here too. one foot of water. this was an alligator looking for prey. >> right. alligators will hunt. they are nocturnal creatures and do most of hunting at night in shallow water, because they want to be able to overcome prey in shallow water, kind of a surprise, if you will, where they can see under water, out of the water from being under. so they can be shadows and outlines of animals above them. so they can shoot out from the water and grab prey. that's the perfect hunting time for those guys. >> what kind of chance does somebody have? if they're wading in water, whether it's a child or full grown adult, if they're wading in water, oblivious to an alligator being around, it's locked in on them and it makes a move, realistically what kind of a chance does a person have in that situation? >> it's hard to say. depends on the size of the alligator, the size of the human. it's the surprise. anyone knows, in general,
