Description
Photograph of a uniformed man feeding an alligator at an alligator farm (possibly the California Alligator Farm, Los Angeles), ca.1900. The man, in clothes that resemble a zookeeper's outfit, leans in to dangle a chicken above the roughly five-foot long alligator in front of him. A crowd of spectators behind a chickenwire fence are visible in the background.
