Most people's instincts would be to simply snap photos of this roadside alligator, but homegrown "Gator Man" Jay Bourge knows how dangerous it would be for everyone involved if this big Louisiana reptile tried to cross the busy highway just feet away. Singlehandedly, he wrestles the alligator into submission and drags it back to his bayou home.
