I can't always understand him, but I couldn't believe how gentle the crocodile was being...he was actually missing catching the food rather than risk biting the man's hand by mistake. Amazing!
@@JFGGG13 the reason Kojek did't attack Irwan is because Irwan feed her every day, 2 fish a day. And because her Belly is full, Kojek does't not need reason to hunt for food.
In crocodile farm, their owners Only feed crocs in few time as necessary for their growth. They really hungry and competitive for food. Because of that, they are untamed and still wild.
@Vatos Locos Irwan raise his Crocodile as his own Daughter, his Mother crying when they must separate with Her. Kojek like their own families, and she never bite Irwan. By the way, government took Kojek to zoo.
lol im pretty sure he was keeping its mouth closed by putting pressure underneath. That's why you always see his hand under the croc's mouth. At 1:14 you can see the croc attempting to bite him but he pushes its head to the side while continuing to keeps its mouth closed by pushing it upwards. Why else do you think he closes the door (1:27) partially when he turns away from the croc and is not holding his mouth closed that's because he knows he would get bit.
@@PaulPavloPablo it's primarily caution because having complete faith you will never get bit is setting you up to have exactly that happen. I will say it is acting a lot tamer than one usually would even with the one attempted bite and even then, the guy is feeding with his hands. Hand feeding is always a bad decision with simple pet reptiles as it associates the hand with food and also opens you up to accidentally getting bit when they go to grab the food.
@@jimcrawford5039 i know you are kidding but this chance in this video was the best chance......just becaue something has sharp teeth doesn't always mean it cant act like that there are many dangerous big dog breeds out there but the adults are good like little puppies of course crocodile is not good pet because they grow big in size and it needs lots of space and food and they have a long lifespan from reptiles lizards, snakes and turtles are better especially snakes since they eat rarely when they become adults and dont move a lot but this one crocodile is not pet.... *i think*
This is why I love reptiles. Not only do I find *every* reptile adorable, but the ones who’s mother raises them (like crocodiles a d alligators) can be raised from young ages to show love and not be overly aggressive.
That has to be one of the most amazing feelings in the world to be able to interact with something that could kill you in seconds I would love to have the chance to have an interaction one on one with a friendly Croc
Modern dogs probably wouldn't exist if, thousands of years ago, mankind hadn't built trust with wolves by offering them shelter and a steady food supply.
@@williamtiemroth4345 I totally would be terrified doing that myself. You seem so confident when you do it. I think that's so awesome. Before I saw this video, I used to think, (because that's what I was taught as a kid), that they were all instincts and no intelligence. I now see that I was wrong. Thank you!
Looks like he's taken a few bites to his hand. Considering how this animal could easily shred his hand during a death roll, it's safe to say the animal trusts him at least enough to let go. He recognizes this guy as "not food", which is pretty cool.
crocodile brains aren't tiny but thats irrelevant as its the way the brain functions that counts (sperm-whale brain is 8x the size of humans) same reason a mouse with less neurons than a croc can be considered intelligent.... and having said that crocodiles are proven to have a reasonably well developed cerebral cortex possibly surpassing stunted mammal brains like koalas that don't have a proper cerebral cortex.
Something people never seem yo understand is with enough love and car you can train and tame just about anything in the world, its just usually it takes so freakishly long to do people never bother with it or, like most, they just see them as the wild type of animal and thusly treat them as such. Same with reptiles, people see them as coldblooded, unfeeling monsters yet they can be quite the opposite (minus the cold blooded part) they can be gentle and kind, many acting like common house pets (except for snakes as they arent like common house pets). The main thing is, is that when your dealing with predators, they can be a bit more stubborn, especially if they're not a relative of humanity per say (meaning mammal).
Shadow Scythe "Tame" is not the right word for this, he's not domesticating this animal but rather familiarizing himself with its personality and natural quirks. You can see that despite his familiarity with it he is still very cautious, as shown by his limiting the space whenever he feeds it.
@@jeansafiera96 while I agree with you, taming a creature takes several hundreds of generations before an animal will learn to fully trust humanity as a whole (unless its dogs or cats which were either self tamed or easily tamed due to the lack of hunting them back in the day), to tame something you have to start somewhere, and having both sides familiarize themselves with the other is a good starting point. As the more familiar the animal becomes with a human the more their overall view on the species as a whole becomes, this is typically seen in nowaday wolves, foxes, and other predators who, before may have not been to afraid of humanity, but through generations, have become fearful or defensive against people due to us hunting them for sport or other reasons. To tame an animal, we must not only familiarize them with people, but also repair any damage we may have caused it over the years from the past. Also, from what i believe, should the animal be within our respective family (Mammal) then typically it is easier for animals of that catagory to get along with humans than say a reptile which has almost no currently known relationship with humanity other than possibly the fact that they were hunted for their skin.
