Exactly he’s not a dog so the gator isn’t completely friendly more like working together. If you don’t feed a dog for a week they will beg were he would eat u. Still cool tho
I like how throughout the video he just mills around like “are you still talking to that rock? damn” “oh food? sick” “seriously what is that rock you’re carrying around for”
ive always thought about this, like animals must frequently accidentally learn something along the lines of “humans love their rocks” (cameras, phones, remotes)
@@adubiouscreature crocodile , reptiles , comodo dragon , snakes , chameleon those is dinosaurs , not all dinosaurs extintcted yet , all dinosaurs and hunter criminals must extinct as is harmful and kill other beings which want to be peaceful and stay alive as a peaceful personal decision must be accepted
Love how he does explain that, if given the circumstances, the gator would eat him. It's good to acknowledge that, no matter how gentle a wild animal will be, they're still wild animals in nature.
i wonder if we can somehow 'remove' their instintcs to make 'em tameable? But would it be the same animal anymore? (english is not my first language sorry)
@@ImJinx I would NOT consider it the same animal nor would I want that. Dogs and cats depend on us as pets, but wild animals are wild animals. They have their own instincts, their own thoughts, and their own will to survive. Animals like alligators, Bears, and Tigers, are too smart and too strong to be domesticated. But if treated with respect, most will respect you in return.
@@tidan4575 the only thing left is trying to show them how to live in symbiosis with us for example smaller fish eat parasites off the whales - whales are clean, small fishes got a snack. And i think this aligator thinks the same about this man
I've wondered about the reptilian brain and the mammalian brains interacting. "He's trained not tame." Clears it up a lot. It's a relationship between you two.
Alligator mothers care for their joung for up to half a year after they hatch from their eggs. This is extremely uncommon for reptilians. This indicates at least rudimentary social instincts, witch explains to me why alligators can be trained in such a way.
Relationship is still too strong. Unlike mammals, reptiles do not release dopamine during social interactions, so they have no incentive to develop relationships. This is why large snakes are known to sometimes stop eating in preparation to eat their much larger owner, even if well fed.
I recall being told that the reptilian brain is incapable of forming a social bond the same way a cat or dog can. Making a "tame" reptile virtually impossible. They can however see you as a source of trust
@@dmwanderer9454 Yeah. But damn. It's still kinda sad. It's like trying to make friends with someone, but they literally can't think of the idea friend or that idea is just alien to them. Though I still hope that dopamine releases through some other actions that we humans deem friendly. Like that smiling lizard named Butter.
@@dmwanderer9454 I disagree and everything u said can false... the crocodile named poncho loved its owner who saved him from suffering from gunshots It was an adult crocodile but he had a warm spot in his heart and he would bring fish for him and they both would swim together Same goes for the moray eel
I'm glad u said trained not tamed. Always remember no matter how many years you have with an animal they can tear your flesh apart at any moment and you'll never know why.
>Trained not tamed >Wild instinct >Will still attack even if fed >Will eat familiar trainer if dead >Understands the concept of treats That is a cat sir.
Out of experience, I can definitely agree with you about wild animals being trained, not tamed. Through the years, I learned that the animals I trained would definitely murder me if they could. I’ve been injured more than once, I've been hunted at and toyed with, scratched, even bitten several times. But at the end of the day, I never regret getting a pair of house cats.
We had a three-legged black cat that would screech and hide in the shadows. It would sometimes be super friendly with me because we both lived in a cold basement. I woke up one day to it standing on my chest staring at me. When I woke up it sunk its claws in me a bit and then layed down on me. Took me five minutes to realize I wasn’t having a nightmare.
“Trained not tamed” is something super important that so many people do not get about wild animals. They are still wild, still have those instincts, and can still kill you.
The big difference is that this guy is a trained professional he literally states how Casper works and the danger of being around him, those people that you mentioned are not this guy or people who work at these public animal exhibitions or whatever those dudes you just mention are as you said idiots who don't know about animal and just feed it and think its trained
Even the wildest and dumbest animal out there understands the concept of behavioral reinforcement. So, in the 6 years of training he has been doing with the gator, he has trained him to recognize the "Casper, come" command and the gator knows it means he'll get food if he moves to the source of the sound. It's a thing of repetition and conditioning the animal to do what you want them to do.
@@branlopgar Can confirm, had to train a human before to give food when called. -Cat Jokes aside, reptiles aren't dumb and absolutely do bond, recognize their name and come for pets too.
People tend to underestimate just how intelligent gators and Crocs are. Casper is fully aware that you are just food that brings him more food. He really gets the don't bite the hand that feeds you mantra.
The guy said he bites and he is not tame just trained. Like did you miss that? He legit said some of you keep saying he is tame and he said he isn't tame and the guy as you can see is wearing some sort of protective gear.
Uncle worked for a long time at a big cat rescue and said it was the same to form bonds, simple -- give them respect and distance, you can't force a relationship but you can plant the seed and nurture it. Most aggressive displays are actually defensive, they see you as a threat, not as food, so it's about making yourself non-threatening.
@@jiromrg947They'll want to eat you until they recognise you are a source of continuous food. At that point they realise you're more valuable alive as you produce multiple meals so are worth more than a single one
reptiles doesn't bond tho , even if someone insists , that's scientifically impossible , you can bond with a lion or tiger but not with a gator or python .
Are you trying to say that no reptile can bond with a human? OR are you trying to say that no human can bond with a reptile emotionally? Cuz u said dude didn't claim an emotional bond. ALSO r you including birds in that comment? - after all they also descend from Dino's. I don't tend to agree with you. He may not be trying to bond but both reptile and human have a bond. Even a hungry dog or an extremely hungry human is possibly going to eat ANYthing they can get. Humans eat chickens they raise all the time regardless of feelings for the bird.
Reptiles CAN bond and definitely humans CAN bond with a reptile. Reptiles have a limited way of expressing a bond and with some individual reptiles you may not see the bond it may still exist. Some reptiles have certainly expressed bonding characteristics. SO you can have a turtle that shows he likes you, and you might have another turtle that does not express it the same way. Yes MANY pets esp if they r hungry & think u r you are dead or appearing to be food -- might eat you. Does not means there is no bond. Further, other 'pets' like a pit bull or a lion can bond with you but yet eat you (on an off day). When a dog is home alone w a human & human becomes incapacitated or dies after a few days the dog generally will eat just like the Donner Party. PERIOD.
I learned something watching this, thank you. I graduated from U.F. and my undergrad adviser was Kent Vliet, head of alligator research. He took me to the Alligator Farm as an assistant. I saw him get in the lake with the alligators with nothing but a camera and a big stick. I changed the film in the cameras from the safety of the board walkways.
“Mutual respect” is actually a REALLY good way to describe how animals often make abnormal bonds to survive themselves. Another good example is Orcas and Humpback whales. Sometimes orcas kill them. But they’re extremely capable of cooperation.
@@perseuslove1335 it's because humans have made society think even if you have a genuine bond with that animal, if they're hungry they will still eat you. Which is not true , it's just an excuse to eat animals and to potray them as monsters, when in reality, animals fight and kill for survival while humans do it for pleasure power and fun.
Anybody that knows alligators knows that they are very chill animals when you give them space, of course then can be dangerous but once you get an alligator trained, its really quite amazing how docile they can become
@@jameandthegiantpeach2273 well with the exception of a gator can still bite your arm off.... Unlike a python or a iguana or a beardie. Also definitely NOT try this stuff with a lion, whole different ball game
Theres a certain magic in a bond with a creature that could likely overwhelm and kill you at any moment but chooses not to because of that bond. Fascinating and heartwarming.
@@gggabriell If your point is that its a wild animal that would still attack him if he made a dumb move: yeah, no sh*t. That doesn't mean however that there can't be some kind of a connection. We've seen videos of bears raised since cubs eating at a picnic table with its owners. Sure they are wild animals with instincts and can absolutely still be dangerous and need to be trained in many cases, but there still can be a "bond" formed through raising an animal since it was young. It may not be the same kind between people of course, and instincts 100% can kick in under wrong circumstances, but still some form of a connection or "bond" can be formed for lack of a better word. You're reading too deep into my comment imo, I just thought it was a fascinating video 😂
One thing i've always wonderd is like. They can eat up to an entire pig whole, But like imagine pooping that out? Even if it goes out pieces by pieces this man must poop alot 😭
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. Salam (Peace)
Casper knowing not to lunge for the treats and instead wait for them to drop into their mouth to avoid accidentally attacking you just shows how well they were trained.
I like the fact that you treat him as an intelligent individual and give him respect. A lot of problems that arise with animal interactios come about because of being overly lax and humanizing animals instead of understanding them and working on their level WITH them. Casper is very cool and you guys have a wonderful relationship!
I did this tour and it was amazing. The pictures that were taken were top notch and unforgettable. Casper was beautiful an amazing animal to see up close.
@Syndicate Penguin, I see what you see. I was watching a different channel that features a guy in Idaho who has either two gators or maybe one gator & one crocodile, not sure, and I don't get the same "feeling" looking at them. They scare me to pieces.
@@outdoorsanimalsandmusic3014 even if he was, it doesn't make him any less of an amazing trainer and confident with his animal clearly. That's like saying someone who's confident with driving shouldn't take the precautions of wearing a seatbelt Or a horse rider who's confident in their animal shouldn't wear a helmet. Being protected because of accidents can happen doesn't mean your abilities are any less credible
@@outdoorsanimalsandmusic3014 I mean, I hope he is. Precautions should always be taken. Theres a difference between courage, and stupidity. And the difference is that one guy will be able to tell you the difference, and you the other guy won't be alive to.
@@yuhimajio1944 exactly this! Especially when you can't account for how other people's actions may influence the [potentially dangerous thing], in this scenario, the alligator. What if somebody visiting the zoo(?) suddenly made a super loud bang, or threw something, or yada yada who knows, somethjng could suddenly "set it off" aka change its behaviour and potentially cause harm. Animals are ALWAYS going to have a factor of unpredictability.. Someone implying people shouldn't take precautionary/preventative measures really shows a huge amount of ignorance lol.
@@mimthyss That's right. A sudden noise or vibration could set him off, causing him to strike out at the nearest living thing. A groundskeeper could crank up a leaf blower for instance.
I love how the man has to explain that even though the alligator is currently nuzzling his chest with his nose he's still a wild animal. It's almost like the alligator is saying yes this is true but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate you.
Him: Doing a little bit of a purr right there The Gator: *a motorcycle starting up* But all jokes aside, Casper is one of a kind. A fine ambassador for his species
I've had a life long fear of gators all my life. Casper has softened my opinion on the creatures a little bit. Don't expect me to go on these tours, but they don't scare me nearly as much (note I still respect the power of the animal)
I always adored crocodilians and reptiles in general, even fed an alligator once when I was a kid(from some distance), but I sure wouldn't get close or touch a crocodile 🤥
"Look how cute he is" That is a frickin aquatic beast belonging to the species that survived millions of years on this planet, and is still feared by many for good reason
People like to talk about poodles, Pomeranians, Shiba Inu, but only men of culture know this breed is where it's at. So calm, friendly, and loyal to the Florida Man way of life
Sure, he's trained and comes across as nice and peaceful in this video, but don't forget that this is an apex predator responsible for killing more human beings than any other vertebrate on earth and can snap at any moment. You can never be too careful. The alligator is pretty cool too.
Long story short…it’s the closest thing to “friendship” that a human is capable of having with an alligator. I used to have an alligator buddy at my grandparents’ place in Florida back in the day…naturally, we called him Al Bundy (anyone born after 1995 has no idea who that is). He lived in their park’s pond year round…obviously knew that small humans were “interesting” and likely to give him food occasionally since they didn’t know any better…so he’d swim by and say what’s up sometimes. We just didn’t get close, watched him at all times, respected the limits and it was all good. This was almost 30 years ago and as far as I know, he spent decades in that pond. He just never bothered anyone and nobody bothered him. By the way, I’m *not* advocating friendship with any wild predator capable of eating you…don’t go near wild alligators. This is merely an anecdote from my weird ass life.
Reptiles are much more intelligent than people give them credit for. They don't really love their human companions in the same way mammals do, but they can learn that you mean good things and can over time override their instinctual reaction to humans and be content to just chill in your presence. Tbh in my opinion trust is a better indicator of the depth of a relationship than love because trust has to be earned
@@madeliner1682 they see it as a means to an end just like when a big fish lets little fish cleans its mouth. And wild boars let some apes eat their flees and ticks and other sh!t on their back. A symbiotic relationship is the words I'm looking for.
Glad to see you use the term "tame" correctly. Even dictionaries often get it wrong because they'll say it means domesticated. It does NOT mean domesticated.
@@moralityisnotsubjective5 Same here, and I only realized it when a certain group of people tried to push a construct called "super-straight" while hijacking the meaning of mere "straight" in order to make it inclusive of transgender people as well. It is a deception at language level. I couldn't care less about good intentions.
A very long time ago a professional photographer took some gator shots. He swam with them at the Gator Farm in St.Augustine to get his pictures. He moved slow and as low in the water as he could. They accepted him as one of them. They were farmed Gators but not tame ( or small ) in any fashion or form.
@@crustaceanking3293 or prey. It seems like a tricky balance, but strikes me as similar to what's encouraged if you encounter other wild predators, like grizzly bears- if you act too much like a threat, they'll get defensive. Act too much like prey and they'll go after you as such. Gotta strike a balance where you show you're not a threat, but not worth the risk as prey.
At first I thought the guy was going to be insane, then, after listening to him, I realized he is only crazy. Love how he still recognizes he has to be careful and that alligators are not tame pets.
Not very careful being in the water with that thing. If it decides to eat him one day there's literally nothing he'd be able to do. No amount of "careful" is gonna help him at that point
I used to live and work in the Glades. One of my jobs was to feed the baby gators and clean their pit. It didn't take them long to learn who I was. As soon as they saw me, they would run up to the fence of their enclosure and follow me everywhere. That experience leads me to believe that you did train this gator. However, I still wouldn't go in the water with them. Like you said, they are wild animals...you never know.
@@bekfatht88 even the wild ones are chill there's nothing to worry about if you don't provoke them. They're very docile. i've been in some classic florida man alligator situations and they've always ignored me.
People are also wild animals. Well animals. Docile dumb and domesticated in lots of areas. But we still swim with each other. I’d trust that gator. And if I’m dead he can eat me. Dogs also eat dead owners.
@@jquick7980 As mentioned in the video, alligators are still crocodilians. They're part of the same order, they're just not crocodiles. The person you're replying to didn't technically say anything wrong.
It's called trust and a genuine bond, bet you never had that, humans are quick to switch up for selfish reasons , while if you have a genuine bond with an animal they don't have those selfish intentions, they're more loyal than any human can be.
@@lez4630 well reptiles are trained, they don’t feel love or compassion for people based on how long they’re in contact with each other. So less of a bond and more of a symbiotic relationship, croc gets rewarded with food and the person doesn’t have to worry about the croc being belligerent, it’s a win win situation as long as he keeps being rewarded
One eye, both eyes, doesn't matter. There is absolutely nothing this guy could do if that gator decided to attack. How close that mouth full of teeth is to his neck. No thank you. That makes me cringe and I'm watching a video.
@@KennelGuyTries I mean he knows Casper is smart tho he’s not gonna pull a random move and if he did the guy wouldn’t die he’d prob get away with both arms with his training
@@creedlol3417 John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Every person who works with wild animals knows this. They can become accustom to you. They can even like you. You can read their behavior, their body language. But end of the day, they're still a wild animal. There's always a risk when working with them.
The "why isn't the gator attacking you?" question is ironic, because a common problem Americans familiar with alligators have when coming to Australia is assuming that Australian saltwater crocodiles are as docile as American gators. They are decidedly not. If you try to swim with a saltie, it will attempt to kill you. If you try to approach a saltie, it will attempt to kill you. They cannot be habituated to human contact, the best you can really do is throw food at them from a distance and hope it piques their interest long enough for you to get away. Gators are puppies in comparison, and tourists to Australia do regularly die because of that mistake.
@@j4nglle salties are not docile. They are filled with murder and they have pattern recognition. If you go to the river 3 days in a row at roughly the same time, on the third day the saltie will be waiting to kill you. You won't believe their speed. And when they get big enough, guns just piss them off. My best advice to any tourists in croc country is to be extremely paranoid around the water and if at all possible, don't enter the water.
I read your comment, and I could definitely imagine you giving the Crocodile Dundee line - 'Call that a knife' But then I remembered a house guest saying to me, 'I don't understand why you're fighting with that spider...'

Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. Salam (Peace)

Love how he does explain that, if given the circumstances, the gator would eat him. It's good to acknowledge that, no matter how gentle a wild animal will be, they're still wild animals in nature.
i wonder if we can somehow 'remove' their instintcs to make 'em tameable? But would it be the same animal anymore? (english is not my first language sorry)
@@ImJinx I would NOT consider it the same animal nor would I want that. Dogs and cats depend on us as pets, but wild animals are wild animals. They have their own instincts, their own thoughts, and their own will to survive. Animals like alligators, Bears, and Tigers, are too smart and too strong to be domesticated. But if treated with respect, most will respect you in return.
Just like us.

@@ImJinx I think we as a species have more work to do then the animals, given that we've taken over their habitats and don't treat them well.
I've wondered about the reptilian brain and the mammalian brains interacting. "He's trained not tame." Clears it up a lot. It's a relationship between you two.
Alligator mothers care for their joung for up to half a year after they hatch from their eggs. This is extremely uncommon for reptilians. This indicates at least rudimentary social instincts, witch explains to me why alligators can be trained in such a way.
Relationship is still too strong. Unlike mammals, reptiles do not release dopamine during social interactions, so they have no incentive to develop relationships. This is why large snakes are known to sometimes stop eating in preparation to eat their much larger owner, even if well fed.
I recall being told that the reptilian brain is incapable of forming a social bond the same way a cat or dog can. Making a "tame" reptile virtually impossible. They can however see you as a source of trust
@@dmwanderer9454 Yeah. But damn. It's still kinda sad. It's like trying to make friends with someone, but they literally can't think of the idea friend or that idea is just alien to them. Though I still hope that dopamine releases through some other actions that we humans deem friendly. Like that smiling lizard named Butter.
@@dmwanderer9454 I disagree and everything u said can false...
the crocodile named poncho loved its owner who saved him from suffering from gunshots

Out of experience, I can definitely agree with you about wild animals being trained, not tamed. Through the years, I learned that the animals I trained would definitely murder me if they could.

We had a three-legged black cat that would screech and hide in the shadows. It would sometimes be super friendly with me because we both lived in a cold basement. I woke up one day to it standing on my chest staring at me. When I woke up it sunk its claws in me a bit and then layed down on me. Took me five minutes to realize I wasn’t having a nightmare.
“Trained not tamed” is something super important that so many people do not get about wild animals. They are still wild, still have those instincts, and can still kill you.

Kinda really interesting to see the guy say '' Casper, come here '' and the gator just casually stopped and slowly turned towards him. Pretty cool
Even the wildest and dumbest animal out there understands the concept of behavioral reinforcement. So, in the 6 years of training he has been doing with the gator, he has trained him to recognize the "Casper, come" command and the gator knows it means he'll get food if he moves to the source of the sound. It's a thing of repetition and conditioning the animal to do what you want them to do.

Uncle worked for a long time at a big cat rescue and said it was the same to form bonds, simple -- give them respect and distance, you can't force a relationship but you can plant the seed and nurture it. Most aggressive displays are actually defensive, they see you as a threat, not as food, so it's about making yourself non-threatening.
but arent we actually on the diet of crocodiles? For example the saltwater crocodile eats humans, so they see us as food.

Finally a guy who don´t insists he "bonds emotionally" with reptiles but actually keeps it real. Huge respect.
To me he doesn't need to say it.
reptiles doesn't bond tho , even if someone insists , that's scientifically impossible , you can bond with a lion or tiger but not with a gator or python .
What ?
Are you trying to say that no reptile can bond with a human? OR are you trying to say that no human can bond with a reptile emotionally? Cuz u said dude didn't claim an emotional bond.
ALSO r you including birds in that comment? - after all they also descend from Dino's.
I don't tend to agree with you. He may not be trying to bond but both reptile and human have a bond. Even a hungry dog or an extremely hungry human is possibly going to eat ANYthing they can get. Humans eat chickens they raise all the time regardless of feelings for the bird.
Reptiles CAN bond and definitely humans CAN bond with a reptile. Reptiles have a limited way of expressing a bond and with some individual reptiles you may not see the bond it may still exist. Some reptiles have certainly expressed bonding characteristics. SO you can have a turtle that shows he likes you, and you might have another turtle that does not express it the same way. Yes MANY pets esp if they r hungry & think u r you are dead or appearing to be food -- might eat you. Does not means there is no bond. Further, other 'pets' like a pit bull or a lion can bond with you but yet eat you (on an off day). When a dog is home alone w a human & human becomes incapacitated or dies after a few days the dog generally will eat just like the Donner Party. PERIOD.

Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.

If you're ever in need of a boost, just look out for my friends (⭐) and I!
Long story short…it’s the closest thing to “friendship” that a human is capable of having with an alligator. I used to have an alligator buddy at my grandparents’ place in Florida back in the day…naturally, we called him Al Bundy (anyone born after 1995 has no idea who that is). He lived in their park’s pond year round…obviously knew that small humans were “interesting” and likely to give him food occasionally since they didn’t know any better…so he’d swim by and say what’s up sometimes. We just didn’t get close, watched him at all times, respected the limits and it was all good. This was almost 30 years ago and as far as I know, he spent decades in that pond. He just never bothered anyone and nobody bothered him. By the way, I’m *not* advocating friendship with any wild predator capable of eating you…don’t go near wild alligators. This is merely an anecdote from my weird ass life.
This is like the best comment
Reptiles are much more intelligent than people give them credit for. They don't really love their human companions in the same way mammals do, but they can learn that you mean good things and can over time override their instinctual reaction to humans and be content to just chill in your presence. Tbh in my opinion trust is a better indicator of the depth of a relationship than love because trust has to be earned

Every person who works with wild animals knows this. They can become accustom to you. They can even like you. You can read their behavior, their body language.
But end of the day, they're still a wild animal. There's always a risk when working with them.
The "why isn't the gator attacking you?" question is ironic, because a common problem Americans familiar with alligators have when coming to Australia is assuming that Australian saltwater crocodiles are as docile as American gators. They are decidedly not. If you try to swim with a saltie, it will attempt to kill you. If you try to approach a saltie, it will attempt to kill you. They cannot be habituated to human contact, the best you can really do is throw food at them from a distance and hope it piques their interest long enough for you to get away. Gators are puppies in comparison, and tourists to Australia do regularly die because of that mistake.
im confused, are salties docile or not ur wording doesn't make sense
nvm i re-read, i get it now
@@j4nglle salties are not docile. They are filled with murder and they have pattern recognition. If you go to the river 3 days in a row at roughly the same time, on the third day the saltie will be waiting to kill you. You won't believe their speed. And when they get big enough, guns just piss them off. My best advice to any tourists in croc country is to be extremely paranoid around the water and if at all possible, don't enter the water.
I read your comment, and I could definitely imagine you giving the Crocodile Dundee line - 'Call that a knife'
But then I remembered a house guest saying to me, 'I don't understand why you're fighting with that spider...'
You're not wrong, BUT, there are trained saltwater and nile crocodiles. But it's true that they are way more aggressive than alligators

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.

Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

@@josiahamazenope, heard he’s just anchoring.
@@josiahamazeeverything isn’t an alpha move lol
@CrystalRose1111 Alpha just establishes dominance from fear. It's a weak tendency that all creatures suffer from. It doesn't mean aggressive just that he needs to trust. That's why we hold holds as couples. Like I said it's CUTE doesn't mean it's not biological.
He’s just happy and knows his life isn’t at danger so he has no reason to defend himself.
Awww he purrs and has big dilated kitty eyes. He's just a big scaly cat. I'd probably wanna pet him and lose my arm lol.
