@gatorchris1: Gator jaw opening strength is relatively weak, but not as easy to hold onto as you might think!! It is often repeated about how easy it is to hold their jaws shut by people who have never actually done it, but as someone who does it often I can tell you that it’s not as simple as people think! A gator Casper’s size is also one you’d want to have two hands on, I have large strong hands and would have difficulty one-handing him without the shake. Add in the body shake and immense power they have and you can see how a lot of people lose thumbs like this. ~~~You can come swim with me and Casper! If you want to come join you can book online now, go to www.crocodilechris.com Let me know if you want to go! Observation and photos only at @evergladesoutpost and tour participants are separated from gators by safety fence. Remember all the gators you see me working with are rescue nuisance gators, caught from the wild as big as you see them now! The state kills 7k-8k each year. We volunteer our time to catch & rescue them and bring them to sanctuaries, unpaid.
