Gator safety!! Don’t do what I do for one😂. NEVER feed a wild gator, never have kids or pets near the water, and never swim in gator habitat! And of course, never attempt anything you see in my videos! Remember guys, we support our sanctuary through social media, so if you’d like to help the animals (for free), please like, leave a positive comment, and share!! We greatly appreciate it and so do the animals! If you would like to donate to the care of the sanctuary animals, we greatly appreciate

This gramma and her pet gator have a ton of videos out there with MILLIONS and millions of views with people thinking it’s all real! Not only is this fake, but it is also perpetuating the VERY bad idea that gators can be pets! Gators should never be considered pets!

If you act like prey, you are prey. Throwback video seven years ago today working with Seven the alligator, may he rest in peace. Notice how much he turns up his speed and motivation as soon I start “running”, even though he was a very well behaved and trained alligator, running away triggers his prey drive! It also demonstrates how quickly they flip the switch between acting trained and taking advantage of opportunities! Trained, not tame! This was back before I had my own sanctuary and I worke

Joe Biden wresting a gator?! Ai? Nope this is actually a very real video that’s been circulating for a long time! I was told this guy actually does work with gators in some capacity, but clearly made some huge mistakes here. When you jump a wild gator you have to COMMIT to the jump with your full body and weight, and know how to hold on and control your center of gravity as the gator thrashes!! This is something I focus on heavily when I am training someone how to handle gators! Clearly this guy

Professional, biologist, and animal handler, never attempt. Where did Casper come from?? He’s a wild caught nuisance alligator, a rescue nuisance gator in fact! Casper was caught by Paul just a few inches shorter than he is now. Typically nuisance gators are caught and killed. Between seven and eight THOUSAND per year. This is why it’s so important to NEVER feed wild gators, even babies. Once fed they lose their fear of humans and come too close. Once an alligator is deemed to be dangerous to pe
