Gator Attack in water, what do you do? 

That was terrifying 😅

​@@mistsrider I felt that too. Demonstrating what not to do, and all the sudden he's right there.

🙌

@@GatorChris_you could talk about anything and make it entertaining 😂

Very entertaining and knowledgeable, but I wouldn't ever get into the water with a gator,like Chris said, it's not to be trusted, it's not a dog.

i read about a little girl in florida that got grabbed by a gator, i think she was 8 or 9, and she stuck her fingers in the gator's nostrils. and he opened his mouth and she was able to get away.

Germany here - not even on the same continent as any gator

Thanks!

he has a second channel you can find in his about

I die

We are all wild animals and every soul can become unpredictable to others once in a while. What makes us safe for most of the time is not rules but a developed moral compass. Gators don't have this. Water splashing? Food! . Bite!

He is!

@@GatorChris_ 😊😊😊😊

Your a funny looking duck 🦆 😂

Until he bites you lol

@@GatorChris_ Isn't it hard to be always on guard, that you dont trip up in the presence of gators.

Same thing with avoiding shark attacks. Stay out of the ocean.

same thing with avoiding car crashes, stay off the road

Alligagator jump out of the water and they run really fast

As long as you don't have to share the waters with hippos, its pretty much smooth sailing.

Unless u end up as a wallet/belt/shoes....

Always wondered how it is safe to have a pet dog in Florida knowing that they may escape a fence or pen.

​@@harleyd9857I live in the countryside in Florida near a river and somewhat swampy area... My brother had an outside dog for about 10 years and it a gator never got it (it died of cancer). I live in the NW part of Florida though... It's colder up here so not as many gators.

@@harleyd9857 The same could be said everywhere. Cars, bodies of water, weather, coyotes, livestock-- all of these things could be a threat to a pet dog if it gets out. So we're not putting our animals in any more or less risk by living here. It's important to stay alert. I don't allow my dog to walk on the floating dock, but I have no qualms about taking her to the park where that dock is. We stay a good distance from the water. If I we go near the water, I pick her up. I showed my nieces (who are not from the state) some basic alligator behavior. In truth, they are rather predictable animals who will only operate within a certain set of behaviors. When it was just the girls looking at this alligator sunning itself, the animal did nothing. But I stepped forward, holding the dog (an animal small enough to be prey) and it immediately slipped into the water. It was waiting for an opportunity. And me, being a responsible pet owner, didn't give it one. Nothing happened. Basic awareness and common sense.

Would you care to share the details of the kayak attack?

@@tropicalties3806 …Sure. My husband and I had kayaked all over the state of Fl with another couple for 10+ years. We’d never had any run-ins w/ gators. On this day, we were kayaking on the Caloosahatchee River in our town of Ft Myers, like we had done 100’s of times. It’s a large and wide river with many mangrove islands. After kayaking around Bird Island, we decide to head back and cross the boating channel to the other side. My girlfriend went ahead of us pretty quick. She decided to wait for us about 30ft. off a mangrove island, one we had stopped at many times before. She was just resting in her kayak when she heard a tremendous splash. She knew it was a gator so she turned her body in the opposite direction while holding onto the the paddle. This big gator lunged up out of the water to grab her arm. The teeth grazed her arm and barely missed clamping down. It was very horrific and traumatizing for her. Her blood curtailing screams was something I had never heard in real life before. There’s was blood everywhere and we could tell how injured she was. We surrounded her with our kayaks and tied her’s u to to her husband. The 3 of us paddled as fast as we could to get her back to shore. That was a very long 15-20 minutes. She had to go to wound care for a while. She has a gator tooth scar on her forearm and will never get back in a kayak in FL every again. The weird thing is this: It was February. It wasn’t breeding season or nesting season. It wasn’t up in the weeds or in an obvious gator -preferred area. The wildlife team that was called thought it very odd and just chalked it up to being a “rouge gator.” For me, It took me a year before I got back in my kayak. Unfortunately we lost our kayak buddies and this is such a shame, because we enjoyed our weekend trips so much. The older woman I met who was attacked, was doing gardening in her yard with her back to a golf course pond. This is a huge no-no. A 10 ft. gator came out of the water, grab her leg and started pulling her back to the pond. A couple of men ran to her side and got her loose. She was in the hospital for many months and had to have major skin grafts. She developed pretty serious acrophobia and couldn’t leave her house for a year. She’s never been the same. Now, we have crocodiles in our area off Sanibel. It’s creepy, but I will still kayak. I no longer go up into small creeks in the winter time because the water is too low and there isn’t enough safe-space between me and a potential gator.

I bet there are still kayak tours in the everglades

Yup 😂

You're not serious 😂.

Casper does NOT love him, Chris himself states this over and over again in his videos. "I love Casper, he does not love me" ....Casper is a wild predatory animal, and he will rip his arm off and eat him in a hot second if he is hungry and thinks he can get away with it.

He actually answered this in another video. He said that yes he is. If he got knocked out or in any way became vulnerable, Casper would most likely attack him.

@@user-in6pw5vf3t Wouldn’t say they have no feelings. There are many recorded cases of crocodiles and alligators becoming friendly and even lifelong friends with the people who saved them. Wouldn’t say it’s particularly common, but it’s not rare either.

@@jesusofbullets nope, Chris has said many times that alligators do not have feelings, this is even backed up by science, they simply get along with other alligators/people or whatever, but if they have the chance they will still kill and eat those that they know, best example was said by Chris, 2 alligators that knew each other for a long time and used to mate during the mating season, one of them had a seizure and the other one started to eat the vulnerable alligator right away

​@jesusofbullets It's a reptile. That's where the term cold blooded came from. Reptiles have no empathy or feelings. They can't get attached. You can prob use positive reinforcement to train them to not attack you, because you're the one that feeds it. Most importantly keep it fed so it doesn't get hungry. Then it will eat anything. It's survival instinct.

​@@jesusofbullets you're absolutrly living in a disney imaginary land bro.

😂 Same!

Awesome! Thank you!

also sharks 2 esp the great white and bull sharks can kill

There's an irresponsible parent who shouldn't have kids...

Yes, the locals are very aware of the woman. She actually harassed the gator. Rode right up to it they started acting like it was chasing her. The gator was just chilling until she came along and bother him for a tictok video.....

😂😂😂😂

Thank you!!
