A Stately Great Egret Calmly Catches a Convenient Ride on the Tail of a Cooperative Alligator

White Bird Riding Alligator Orlando Florida

A tourist visiting Gatorland in Orlando, Florida captured amusing footage of a great egret who calmly caught a ride on the tail of a surprisingly cooperative alligator, amongst a swamp full of other alligators.

I was at Gatorland hanging out with friends and I saw this bird surfing on a gator.
