Ive had a few people ask me about alligator farming and although I may not personally like it it does help out the species as a whole as it takes off hunting pressure from the wild population. Using farming to meet the demands of the market for meat and hide has been a great conservation tool for many different species. It may seem counterintuitive but it really helps wild populations thrive more you cant get rid of the demand and even when made illegal the black market takes over so the best thing to do is meet the demand with farming."

This is how they hunt fish. I similarly move with slow but controlled actions to not instigate him. But does Casper know it me"

How to tell a gator from a croc There are many differences between crocs and gators but some basics- gators have a more round broad snout crocs more narrow gators are usually in fresh water and crocs in salt/brackish BUT you can find either anywhere Ive seen crocs in full fresh and gators in hyper saline or ocean. Some Crocs can drink saltwater and excrete it gators cant but they do go in the ocean like people do just to visit but not stay.

"Professional biologist and animal handler never attempt. Ive had a few people ask me about alligator farming and although I may not personally like it it does help out the species as a whole as it takes off hunting pressure from the wild population. Using farming to meet the demands of the market for meat and hide has been a great conservation tool for many different species. It may seem counterintuitive but it really helps wild populations thrive more you cant get rid of the demand and even when made illegal the black market takes over so the best thing to do is meet the demand with farming."

Some make it but its usually a death sentence. Thankfully this one was caught as a nuisance gator and now gets to live her life out at @evergladesoutpost as a rescue.

"Today we had a vet visit the rescue and performed surgery on our rescue pigs. Julie the new pig got spayed petunia the pig was PROPERLY neutered toffee the goat had the infected ear tag removed and everyone got vaccinations. I say properly neutered because petunia was cryptorchid with a testicle inside the body cavity likely from an attempted failed at home neuter. Sadly because of this petunia has prostate cancer and our time is now limited. I hope everyone can learn from this and spay/neuter their pets. Were pretty emotional right now with the news but I also wanted to say thank you to"

"Gator body armor and battle scars The osteoderms(also called scutes) are the ridges down the back and theyre incredible theyre solid bone plates that act like body armor for the alligator capable of even stopping a bullet. Whats really amazing is that the osteoderms evolved strictly for defense and are therefore far more dense bone than the rest of the gators skeletal structure(or yours obviously). So when an invasive python eats a gator in Florida the snake can digest the gator skull and ribs and arms and all the other bones except the thickest nuchal scutes theyre so dense the snake has to"

"Gator juggling😂 it can be very difficult managing these two at the same time Managing Big Mac is usually pretty easy actually Bella on the other hand can be very determined and persistent Youll see me holding them under the jaw this is NOT a magical pressure point and does NOTHING to the gator its a place a skillful handler can hold to help control the head but even that is tricky and they can quickly snap back and nail your hand I know multiple people bit doing this maneuver. As always never try anything you see in my videos. And if you enjoy the video PLEASE SHARE Donations to the rescue"

"Dino finally ate We are so happy to share that after three months Dino finally has accepted food from us. He ate [--] pieces of chicken. It looks like the tube feedings that we have been doing has accomplished exactly what we were hoping for and has rebooted his system and has given him more energy. We are not out of the woods by any means but this is a huge step in the right direction. If we can get him consistently eating we can put weight on him and give him a better chance at surviving the chelation therapy to remove the lead from his system. This has been an incredibly emotional process"

"Wait for the CRUNCH Look at the jaw muscle flex Big Mac crushing a turkey leg At first he was taking it relatively gently but once I gave some resistance he put on the CRUSH and snaps the bone. Whats interesting is his gentle bite would still put holes in your hand but isnt even noticeably activating the jaw muscles then when he actually wants to he lays on the power. I also dont think he even realizes its food and not my hand as in he would act the exact same way if that had been my hand. They will absolutely bite the hand that feeds.

This is why Im always saying that these are wild animals that can change their minds and decide what they want to do when they want to do it and can change to do something else whenever they want to They are not static and can seem nice and sweet one moment then decide to bite the next. Thankfully I am able to predict these changes pretty well but its also why Im always saying I never trust them ever. I trust my ability to predict their behaviors but I dont trust them at all 😂.

"Bella showing how she knows her name People new to my work are often AMAZED that gators can learn to come to their names and easily tell apart human words. People are often amazed when animals demonstrate intelligence emotion or problem-solving skills but that amazement often stems from a long-standing human biasweve spent centuries viewing ourselves as uniquely superior placing all other species very very far beneath us. This isnt always out of malice but rather a cultural habit of underestimating non-human minds. Thinkers like Jane Goodall and Frans de Waal have spent their careers"
