Wild gator handling! Moving out another wild gator! This one went smoother than the last 😂 but shows the techniques I use to handle, tape, and move a completely wild alligator. Hopefully people read the caption this time, can’t believe how many “animal abuse” comments I got last time when I’m literally risking loss of limb or life to save these animals as safely as possible, and that we do this work FOR FREE. You don’t get the cute snoopy videos without knowing how to be a bad@ss and handle the

Gator don’t really understand personal space 😂. Big gator seven here thinks he might be a lapdog 😂. Would you let him sit in your lap? More info on him from previous posts-At Everglades Holiday Park Seven is our biggest gator at EHP, he’s 10ft and likely around 350-400lbs. He gets the name 7 for a weird reason- alligators have five toes on the front feet, four toes on the back feet, so a total of 8 back feet toes. He is missing one of his back foot toes, so he only has 7 total back foot toes.

Showing off some gator training! Look how smart they are, holding their positions and patiently waiting. The same well trained gator might try to bite moments later if something changes, that’s why I’m always saying they’re trained not tame and always wild animals! More info from previous posts-At Everglades Holiday Park We feed our gators at the rescue once a week, that’s it, and only a few pieces each. 40lbs between about 20 gators, once a week. And most are overweight from this! That’ll blow

Meet a new gator names muttley! More info from previous posts-We feed our gators at the rescue once a week, that’s it, and only a few pieces each. 40lbs between about 20 gators, once a week. And most are overweight from this! That’ll blow a few minds, but you just have to remember your high school biology! Being that they’re ectotherms and don’t produce their own body heat, they actually eat very little and a 10ft gator will likely eat less in a year than the average dog. Any alligator here can

Quick gator facts with Casper! Jokes aside, they really do have an amazing homing ability and will return to where they’re caught if relocated. This is why the state of Florida does not allow relocation of nuisance alligators in the only option for nuisance gators over 4 feet is life and captivity or being destroyed. 99% of them are destroyed as this is the only way a trapper will make money by selling the meat and hide. —You can come swim with me and Casper!

Gator safety PSA! Gators are found in every body of water in Florida, always keep kids and pets away from the water’s edge and only swim in designated swimming areas! Dogs get eaten by gators on a nearly daily basis in Florida as people cluelessly walk their dog near the water, it’s like dangling bacon in front of a gator’s nose! Bad for dogs, and bad for owners as they sometimes get bit too! Be safe and be gator aware guys! ~~~You can come swim with me and Casper! If you want to come join you c
