Samantha Young is nine-years-old and has been wrestling eight-foot deadly reptiles since she was six.
Samantha's parents, Jay and Erin Young, own the Colorado Gators Reptile Park in the US and live surrounded by 350 of the beasts on their 12-acre farm.
"I have been wrestling alligators since I was six," Samantha said. "I was a bit scared at first but my dad was there and he always knows what to do with them."
"It's all about getting your balance and position on top of the gator's back so that you can control its mouth and neck," she added.
The Youngs began their alligator collection in 1987 and offer £70 classes to members of the public on how to tackle the predators.
"Samantha is very proficient with the gators and wrestles the size of alligator that we involve the public with," her father said.
