A well meaning but butter-fingered tourist may have lost his phone, but an alligator somewhere in Louisiana is about to catch up on the tea.

A video from ViralHog shows a group of people hunched over a boardwalk swamp in order to record a young gator lazing around the water. One of the young men precariously holds his phone above the gator in an effort to catch the perfect shot ... only to slip and drop his phone directly into the gator-riddled water.

"I was filming because it looked like the gator was about to move away," the video's description says. "You can tell that for a split second he thinks about trying to grab it but then decides [he] better not."

He may have lost his phone, but at least he kept his fingers.
