WATCH: An alligator slammed into the side of a kayak, tipping the boater into the river
A kayaker exploring a section of a North Carolina river found more than he expected when an alligator slammed into his boat. Pete Joyce was paddling in a swampy section of the Waccamaw River on Sunday when the alligator charged at him. Alicia Davis, an alligator biologist with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, said the alligator was probably scared too and took off in the other direction. She said it's also possible that Joyce startled the alligator and it swam into the boat by mistake. Joyce said he's planning to kayak the whole 140-mile-long Waccamaw River, which runs from North Carolina into South Carolina.
