And why did he make a beeline for you as soon as he saw you? I’d bet it’s because you feed him and I’m sure you know that’s illegal. That’s going to get him killed one day.
I was not sure with the thumbnail pic, i was thinking please don't kill that after getting it come to you. So glad man. That one cute little gator dragon and appreciate that video 🐊🐉💚
Oh my God he's so cute....for now! He's like , "love this guy for bringing me chicken legs every day!" Ten years later, gator: "what??? No chicken legs today??? Ok, your legs will do just fine!" Chomp!
@timothyortega5608 why thank you kind sir! only reason I can say that with a little sarcasm is because I used to care for 5 of the rarest crocodiles in the world! Golden crocs, which were a cross between Siamese crocs and saltwater crocs. NO matter how much they were used to us being their caretakers, every day the largest one would still test us by lunging at us at the most vulnerable part of the exhibit! All it would have taken was one slip and she would have us. In fact, we quit feeding I side the exhibit so they would stop associating "us" with their "food."
@kristycannon7923 What beautiful insight into the intimate behavior of God's creatures. Thank you. I used to work for a nuisance wildlife control company where we were the kinder, friendlier wildlife control company that would relocate all the animals we could. We humans forget that we are visitors in the animal kingdom.
Just don't mess with them and they won't mess with you. gators aren't nile or salt water crocs, they don't actively try to seek out people to eat. In fact they are equally afraid of you, as you are of them, that's until they start getting feed by people and lose their natural fear of people. That hissing you heard was a gators way of feeling threatened by you being to close to its liking. Now make no mistake about it a gator will attack if they have no other option, but if they can flee they will first and foremost.
