Swinging into the alligator pond 🐊. I love how they’re both unfazed by my shenanigans 😂😂😂. “So they know you?” Yes, they know me, they can tell humans apart, they are accustomed to my presence and generally know what to expect when I’m there. But “knowing me” does NOT MEAN they won’t bite me, or rip off a body part and eat it in front of me with no remorse or concern. They have both tried to bite me many times and part of “knowing me” is knowing I can whoop both their butts and every single attempt they’ve made at me has ended in my favor. I’ve wrestled wild gators over twenty years, it’s how I afforded to pay for this place. Two years ago they arrived out of the wild and tried as well as they could to bite me and I have handled them every time. Part of “knowing me” is knowing I’m a BAMF, not trying to brag but sometimes my general humor and laid back attitude coupled with the trained behavior of the animals I have trained makes people think this just somehow magically happened without high risk and equally high skill. The fact I’ve been working with deadly animals over two decades is not some coincidence, as some people in the comments seem to believe 😂. “But one day” yea you dummy, newsflash, we ALL are going to die, no one gets off this ride alive, but I’ll take my wildly passionate life for as long as fate allows over living a “safe” life behind a desk and dying of heart disease. Yall can keep that lame life, I’ll keep mine🐊. ~~~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!!
