LOS ANGELES, CA  [Tuesday Aug.29.2006]  /WMQT.com/ -- As part of a photo shoot for her new album, "B'day", Beyonce thought it would be a good idea to tape the mouth shut of a baby alligator.

According to Beyonce, "He was really cute, but since his mouth was taped he didn't have any way to defend himself. He was upset so he peed on me. That was an experience!"

The act inspired the ire of a reptile expert, who wrote to the singer on behalf of PETA, stating "humans and alligators are not natural bedfellows, and the two should not mix at events such as photo-shoots. In my view, doing so is arguably abusive to an animal."

Beyond that, no action has been taken by either party.
