Sometimes, bravery appears in the most unexpected of places

If you picture a cat, a regular cat going up against an alligator, chances are you wouldn't assume it would also win. Check out the video above to see it's possible.

The clip was shot in November 2010 in a wildlife part in New Orleans. Tourists fed an alligator chicken meat and then recorded as a cat tried to push the reptile away.

Once you're past the “omg this is so stupid, the cat could've been killed” phase (which is completely justified, by the way), just look at that pussy: it's the very definition of fearlessness.

Not once, but various times, it hits the gator on the snout as it tries to get closer to the meat and, thus, farther on the ground – what's more amazing is that the cat actually manages to drive it away.

Today's From the Vaults video is not funny and we have no intention of presenting it as such: it's just amazing!
