| Description: | 13:08:41:- MS interview of Howard Hunt, curator of reptiles and amphibians at Zoo Atlanta. Interview is conducted by Mike Lukas, TV host and comedian, in a shady part of the zoo. In Howards hands (and lap) is a young alligator (good CU's and MS's of the 3 year old alligator). They talk about the urban legend of alligators living in sewer systems (is it possible? how would an alligator survive the trip from commode to sewer? can they breed once there? could they ever have survived and mated in American sewers), if alligators can laugh or experience amusement, what noises alligators make (Howard imitates some of them, causing a good squirming response from the young alligator in his hands), and what is in Queen Elizabeth's purse. CU's of the alligator's dual protective eyelids and its ears. Good CU's of its face as well. Funny MS of Mike sticking the alligator into the camera. More ECU's of the gator's eyes, teeth, mouth, snout, etc. | |
