Have you ever wondered how -- or even what -- an alligator or turtle eats?

Some people in Star City got a chance to find out today first-hand, but don't worry -- no humans were on the menu.

Kids and adults got to observe a young alligator's dinner time at the Cane Creek State Park.

Park officials allowed the public to see exactly what goes on at meal-time for the soft-shelled turtles as well, and a very cooperative snake also made an appearance.

Those in attendance learned about the critters themselves in addition to their eating habits.
