A Colorado man narrowly escaped being bitten by a 12-foot, 600-pound alligator named Elvis as he attempted to feed a raw turkey to the massive reptile.
The close call happened at Colorado Gator Farm in Mosca, when an employee known only as Chad can be seen stepping into the water to feed Elvis a raw turkey, video posted Monday on the park’s Facebook page shows. Chad is holding the turkey as he slips into the water, where Elvis charges at him and snaps at his leg.
My question is - why do they have a gator farm in Colorado?
The full story with some pretty funny video is here:

They have a gator farm in Colorado because they have a natural hot spring in the middle of a barren high plains valley. They started a fish farm using the year round hot water source. They needed a method of disposing of fish guts and hit on using alligators. This solved one problem and provided a tourist attraction and they also sell alligator meat.
