Some cool underwater footage with Casper!! I never get tired of seeing alligators underwater, there’s something so magical and Jurassic Park-esque about seeing them gliding through the water. I’ve been swimming with gators over a decade and still am in awe of them. ~~~If you enjoy the video, PLEASE SHARE!!

Observation and photos only at @evergladesoutpost and tour participants are separated from gators by safety fence.

Kayak stuck on a big alligator in Florida. It's always good to be extra careful when kayaking in murky water where there are alligators. This is an old video that I took years ago, but I added some clips that I haven't shared before :-) #nature #viral #animals #fyp #wildlife #florida #clearkayak #alligator #scary #nope

“But he knows you” as if that means he wouldn’t still bite 😂. Yes, he knows me well, I’ve worked with him 17 years, he knows I’m not a threat so he doesn’t have to be defensive, and he knows my training and that he gets treats, BUT that doesn’t make it “safe” or get rid of his predatory instincts. I’ve explained many times, they’re alligators, not Labradors, they are NEVER pets and should never be thought of as anything close to one. They’re trained, not tame. Alligator brains are wired completely different from any mammal, never expect a gator to act like like any mammal. My best example of this is at one park I worked at there was male and female together, mated up and everything, together since the 90s. Male much larger and could easily kill her if he wanted to of course, never harmed her. Then one day while I was there she had a seizure, and the moment she flipped over he was eating her, like within seconds. That experience was really disturbing and erased all my Disney fairy tale notions 😂. ~~~If you enjoy the video, PLEASE SHARE!!

Can gator regrow tails? Or limbs? Nope! If it’s gone, it’s gone, they’re unable to regrow their tails or limbs of lost. Although people often think of them as water lizards and therefore able to regrow tails, they cannot and are in fact close to a bird than a lizard! 🤯 ~~~If you enjoy the video, PLEASE SHARE!!

Would you put your ARM inside an alligator's mouth? 😱🐊 That's what Billy had to do when the Reptiles Team discovered that an alligator had swallowed a piece of discarded tape! After a wild capture and risky procedure, the tape was successfully extracted from Houdini the alligator, who it seems was very happy for the help 🐊 #alligator #reptiles #zookeeper #animals #herpetology #australianreptilepark #australia #lovecentralcoast

AMBUSH PREDATORS! Gators are built to so and wait, patiently watching and relying on camouflage. They will pursue prey in the water and are very fast, but they’re not built to chase and run down someone like people think, that’s just in the CGI movies not reality!

Some mind blowing stats on how pigs are about as close to humans as crocs are to gators! Crocs and gators are often seen as the same thing or at least extremely similar to each other by most people, while people think of themselves as being very different from say a monkey or a pig, but reality is much more surprising! ~~~You can come swim with me and Casper!

Because everyone is always so convinced to never go to the Florida Springs because of Alligators. Have you seen me post a video of Alligators in the springs that allow swimming (aka NOT Green Springs) no. That is because I’ve never gotten to see an alligator in all my visits to the springs to even take a video! If you see one at a spring head, consider yourself lucky! #florida #floridacheck #floridalife #floridasprings #devilsden #rainbowsprings #ichetuckneesprings #hiddengems #travelbucketlist #alligators #alligator #PlacesToVisit #bucketlisttravel #northflorida #centralflorida

Dinosaur roars. Casper is actually not roaring, but bellowing, a form of alligator communication that most people perceive as threatening but in actuality is him looking for love!! Alligators bellow to convey health and size information to surrounding gators for breeding, social, and territorial reasons. They bellow year round but with much more frequency in the breeding season. The sound emitted directly correlates to the gator’s size, providing an accurate size estimate to whoever is listening(and knows what to listen for!)When male alligators bellow, the powerful low frequency sound waves actually cause the water over their backs to bounce up, creating a “water dance” as you can see in these photos. Female bellows do not have this affect. And speaking of dinosaur roars, the roaring of the T. rex in Jurassic Park is a conglomeration of animal sounds, part of which includes gator bellowing! ~~~If you enjoy the video, PLEASE SHARE!!

Is Casper my pet? NOPE! Gators are not pets, they’re not a domesticated animal, and should never be thought of as pets. Sadly some states still allow the sale of baby gators as pets; most these animals don’t survive their first few years, and those that do usually develop horrible disfigurements from metabolic bone disease.

Spalshin’ and snappin’! Casper reacting to splashes at the surface. When he is underwater he often puts his nictitating membrane up, which limits his vision, and he reacts much more to movement and sound. He will snap at anything that moves underwater like this, making him much more dangerous when submerged. Most his snaps are really sweeps, slower moving and feeling for something, but sometimes he will be quick! Experimenting like this helps us understand his behavior and what triggers snaps, and we always have fun too 😂. ~~~If you enjoy the video, PLEASE SHARE!!
