This is why it’s illegal to feed wild gators in Florida!! 😂Happy National gator day!! Here I am filming my fiancée @gabbynikolle with Stallone the nuisance gator who was being illegally fed in the wild before coming to us as a nuisance gator. This is from last year with Stallone, now he is MUCH FASTER!! Once fed, they associate people with food, and if you don’t give the food you ARE the food!! But this is not how gators attack prey, this is a feeding response chase of a fed animal, not a normal wild gator hunting strategy. As you can see, if a gator chases you, YOU JUST RUN!!! NO ZIGZAG!!! The whole zigzag thing is a stupid myth😂. Normally we train this behavior out of the gators to be more calm, but we’re keeping his chase behavior as an example of why you shouldn’t feed gators. ~~~Our rescue gators are wild caught nuisance gators that would’ve otherwise been destroyed. The state of Florida destroys 8,000 “nuisance” gators annually, but we don’t have a nuisance gators problem but rather a nuisance HUMAN problem. 1k people a day move to FL, unsustainably developing the land, and a lot of ignorant people making a nuisance out of themselves. 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!!
