What was said at 6:53 is the most intriguing factoid about alligators I have ever heard. I had no idea that even if they are relocated 100 miles away, they can use the earths magnetic field to guide them right back to their original location.
@@azillliasmith2734I think in birds, their function of magnetic field navigation is through a protein called “cryptochrome”, this might be what the gators use. Humans also have the cryptochrome protein. “CRY2” I believe is a variation in humans. It is a relatively unstudied protein, and sensitive to earths magnetic field. I think humans have this animalistic feature as well, just in a way that our human body and consciousness seems to override/ dull the instincts or efficacy of these proteins
@@godsgrace5777 lol yes but they can become somewhat more tame after years of being fed, and some can sort of develop a “bond” as they are very social animals, much like how cats think you are a cat. They will always remain potentially dangerous but some if raised in captivity with nurturing constant care can learn to just chill more than normal because it acts as a goal/reward to get food. It also depends on the person too. They respond to fear and microchanges in behavior so much like a lion tamer, need to always be cautious, but some, can tolerate humans just fine eventually. Just always need to have backup and constant awareness. I work with lizards and snakes and very similar. Most spook easily at first but then calm down. Some crocodiles can even learn names or command words to a degree, usually associated with getting food. Some lizarda and crocodiles actually enjoy minimal touching eventually, they do possess dopamine receptors in regards to peripheral neurons. It just depends on how impressionable the individual animal is. Still need to be aware and always have backup. They are not totally “mindless” monsters all the time....
I grew up with an alligator in my back yard. Alex was 6'-8'.... My dad forbid us from feeding it and we were taught to never approach the water's edge quickly. Alex was never a problem.

Absolutely amazing how comfortable he is kneeling with these wild creatures all around him. I always thought gators were fairly passive if not bothered, and this really confirmed it. Yet he says not to ever feed them since they associate food with humans, or humans as food, but he defies the rule so nonchalantly since he reads them so well!
Im sure the ones he didnt feed in this clip were already fed. lol My dog does the same thing. The way he acts around food you would think he had never been fed.

Shrinker is my favorite. I love his huge CHOMP. He just left his mouth open the whole time. And made the best sounds. He’s the most handsome gator I’ve seen. This is one of the most fascinating videos I’ve seen. I’m so fascinated ! you’re walking with a group of dinosaurs.
@@vineleak7676 You are correct, but he knows what he's doing. He's been around and trained gators for 20 years so he knows their behavior very well. He doesn't like wild gators around him just because of the small chance they'll be unpredictable. But all the named gators in this video he's probably known for at least a couple years. I recommend you watch some of his other videos if you're curious because he addresses this often.
@@averye there are countless people like him who were "experts" and worked with big cats, crocodilians, bears, wolves, elephants etc. for decades until a tragedy happens...
I was born and raised in FL on lakes. Gators LOVE dogs. I remember a story where one took out a St. Bernard. Then people freaking out seeing them on land basking. They think they will get chased. I tell them, they aren't lions. You walk up to them (please dont), most of the time they scatter back into the water. They are ambush animals and rather get you on the shore, but most of the time they do not give a dang about humans. BUT still reason I will not swim in a Florida lake and NEVER at night. If you have not been on a FL lake at night, with a flashlight, yeah, that will confirm why you dont swim at night
A friend of mine lost his St Bernard on lake virginia in winter park in the 70s.. it was in all the papers.. I had a lot of encounters with gators in lakes when I was a teen - i loved to fish Tons of gators at night and easy to see..
When I was living in Miami there was a gator in our backyard lake that was after our Labrador and almost got him several times because he was so addicted to swimming, fortunately never happened.
That one gator that wanted the tooth you picked up is so cute. I loved the way you told him couldn't have that and then he just lays his head down in submission. You are the gator whisperer. There are special people that can just coonect with animals like no on else and that is you....
I love how not even half way through the vid you can see other gators gather around with just heads showing like it's story time. Props to Chris for goin in there and being a BOSS, even telling some of the gators 'No'.

@@glowieverno they aren’t, these gators are just kept in captivity for educational shows of feeding them like this and other stuff. None of them are turned into useless accessories, they just live their life relaxing in a captive setting and safe from people.
Love the education!! I've definitely had my fair share of Gator interactions growing up in FL, truly fascinating creatures, definitely one's to be respected, from a distance.
Dude………for real with the flip flops. You’re a crazy bastard, bro!!!!! Please stay safe in all that you/you guys do.

Look forward to checking out your other vids!!! Be well!!!
I’ve fished with a gator just a few feet away chilling on a log and getting some sun. I respected the gator and he respected us. But what he’s doing here takes that to a whole new level.
I like how twice when he begins to talk with his left hand, the gator waiting immediately seems to lunge, thinking he's giving it food. You wouldn't even realize it's the hand movements unless you were really paying attention
New sub. Due to the fact that you sir would have made Steve Irwin proud. Sitting on alligators, having your back turned to them, maaaaaaaaaan 😂 you’re epic
I'll never forget as a kid in florida my family lived on a golf course and a couple friends and I were playing in the woods and on our way to another friends house we had to go through this narrow walkway one side was a lake, the other side was a huge ditch it wasn't easy to walk through but it saved you like 30 minutes of walking. One day walking through there all you could hear was that hiss I have never turned around and ran so fast. We never saw it but it was loud so im guessing we must have been close.
It’s crazy how many different animals there are in the world. and how it all comes down to calm reactions and respect of boundaries. What a great example of how alligators are reacting to your behavior and how misreading the situation is how accidents take place.
I am amazed that you can tell who's who with those alligators. Also I have gained a real fondness for them from watching your videos. Although they are deadly, they are predictable. Only deadly when hungry or threatened. Far more evolved than humans. Thanks for caring about the gators!
They are so cute and obedient. I love crocodiles because they look so cute. They don't have that pointy face like Crocs do. Chris you are amazing. Those alligators know who's boss. You have such a strong Alpha energy that I it's no wonder that you can get these little Beauties to do what you ask them to.
Very informative! Thanks for sharing all about alligators! It’s amazing you seem to be able to handle all these wild alligators. Knowledge is power for sure!
What you and Gabby do is amazing! Even though I love the taste of gator I applaud you guys for saving them and being able to train them. Not many are that brave.
I've been around alligators all my life. River fishing on the MS river, and others I come in contact with them all the time. Lots of times I walk up a river chest deep holding a 5 gal bucket in one hand and rod in the other. Depending on the time of day I would see them in the shallows or eye shine on the banks. Never had an issue. I respected them and they left me alone. It breaks my heart everytime I see a report or video vilifying gators.
They're nuisance alligators. Chris has rescued them and has gave them a home to live. At least watch his videos before letting it "break your heart". If it hadn't been for Chris, they would've been killed for their meat/money coz it's illegal to relocate the Gators.
They're really not. He keeps telling people that any one of his "well trained" aligators would kill him if he gives them the chance or reason to. They're trained, not tame. They're wild animals and their instincts will be to kill him if he displays a weakness or if they feel threatend by him. Never forget that. He doesn't.
Thank u for taking care of those beastly babies. And preventing them from being killed. I think I’m going to call you the American crocodile hunter even though I know they’re not actually crocodiles. They’re in the same family, possibly genus, I’m not sure as I haven’t looked it up. I’m a biochemist not a zoologist, but I personally feel, that although I’m across the country in California, we too very much appreciate what you do and how you take care of them because they are beautiful and they’re God’s creatures and it’s amazing that you were chosen to be their caretaker. Bless you for all you for all you do and thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing them so much compassion and love. TH-cam should reward you for your loving efforts and I’m sharing this on my FB channel too! Bless you!!!
I’ll go see those alligators as long as this gorgeous guys is with me ❤ I’ve always wanted to be up close to one but never stupid enough to do so 😂 because I’ve never worked with them. This guy is brave and gorgeous ❤
i work with about 25 alligators and what Chris says is true . They are great animals to work with as long as YOU stay calm. But even attempt this with our saltwater crocs and the result would be very different. GO CHRIS
This is the first video of yours I've seen. Added and liked! I feel like every thing said is common sense but still new info for me. Lol thanks for the info and I'm happy to see someone else working hard for the wild life!!!
Ill be honest, for the longest time I was one of those people that thought oh hey cool a friendly alligator! then I see your channel and realize that no, they're trained. Great channel and very informative
I am so impressed with how you incredibly so well handle these gators...but there is always another one hungry...pretty gutsy stuff in my book...and for what it’s worth as a lifelong Floridian I was taught to keep your distance and never feed them...but you giving them a second chance at life saves them because we are the ones encroaching onto their space...
One alligator was like “if I keep my mouth open maybe I’ll get food still”

I've been around alligators all my life. River fishing on the MS river, and others I come in contact with them all the time. Lots of times I walk up a river chest deep holding a 5 gal bucket in one hand and rod in the other. Depending on the time of day I would see them in the shallows or eye shine on the banks. Never had an issue. I respected them and they left me alone. It breaks my heart everytime I see a report or video vilifying gators.
They're nuisance alligators. Chris has rescued them and has gave them a home to live. At least watch his videos before letting it "break your heart".
If it hadn't been for Chris, they would've been killed for their meat/money coz it's illegal to relocate the Gators.
Great informative video! Alligators are so intelligent. Thanks for sharing.
They're as old or older than dinosaurs. Who knows?
Thanks for the info about alligators. Now I understand them better. Good video 👍
That was the coolest interaction with alligators I've ever seen
What an amazing sight! I had no idea at all that they were so intelligent and sociable with people.😀
That's because TV and social media has brainwashed alot of humans and all the footage they show is a gator or croc attacking another animal or people.
They're really not. He keeps telling people that any one of his "well trained" aligators would kill him if he gives them the chance or reason to. They're trained, not tame. They're wild animals and their instincts will be to kill him if he displays a weakness or if they feel threatend by him. Never forget that. He doesn't.
I love watching y’all working and talking to the animals!
I feel so bad for the Gator that was just opening his mouth while everyone was getting food
Leo sadge
Me too!!! He just waited patiently 😤
me as well
Thank u for taking care of those beastly babies. And preventing them from being killed. I think I’m going to call you the American crocodile hunter even though I know they’re not actually crocodiles. They’re in the same family, possibly genus, I’m not sure as I haven’t looked it up. I’m a biochemist not a zoologist, but I personally feel, that although I’m across the country in California, we too very much appreciate what you do and how you take care of them because they are beautiful and they’re God’s creatures and it’s amazing that you were chosen to be their caretaker. Bless you for all you for all you do and thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing them so much compassion and love. TH-cam should reward you for your loving efforts and I’m sharing this on my FB channel too! Bless you!!!
Simply awesome... Considering the 'vocal activity' of some of the gang in with Chris, I thought for a moment, 'wonder if crocs have bad breath'?
this is terrifyingly amazing.. I love watching your videos! 👍👍
Dang I love alligator pops! One of my favorites
I’ll go see those alligators as long as this gorgeous guys is with me ❤ I’ve always wanted to be up close to one but never stupid enough to do so 😂 because I’ve never worked with them. This guy is brave and gorgeous ❤
The suspense is too much...I can't watch without my heart racing!!!
The gators in the back hiding under the water are so damn cute
I love how Chris knows gators so well.
i work with about 25 alligators and what Chris says is true . They are great animals to work with as long as YOU stay calm. But even attempt this with our saltwater crocs and the result would be very different. GO CHRIS
I love Boris, Leo, and friends❤️🧡💚💚
I was so scared for this guy that my heart skipped a beat.
At 4:40 when you started talking about the larger dog, the alligator seemed to be really proud, as though he was personally responsible. 😂
Wouldn’t they put a gator down for eating someone’s pet or do they just do that for people
@@Iluvpaws_1 Like he says it depends on the trapper. The only time where death is a guarantee is when they eat humans.

Of course, because it’s “all about us” - or so we think … We are an innately narcissistic species.
This is the first video of yours I've seen. Added and liked! I feel like every thing said is common sense but still new info for me. Lol thanks for the info and I'm happy to see someone else working hard for the wild life!!!
3:17 that one in the back is STILL waiting for a third piece lol
Target is such a feisty girl, I love her💚🐊
Amazing creatures. I've always been fascinated by them.
Awe dont exclude the wild 😜 one! Lol🤣 I love the one u swim with, he seems so trained!
Ill be honest, for the longest time I was one of those people that thought oh hey cool a friendly alligator! then I see your channel and realize that no, they're trained. Great channel and very informative
Trained but not tame. They will eat you if given the chance.

Yet, they’re more evolved than humanity!
It's amazing to see them actually know their names.
They're very intelligent!
The confidence & trust u have with these beautiful creatures it couldn't be me im scared for u
Just got this in my recommendations and the first 10 secs already got me DED 🤣🤣
I am so impressed with how you incredibly so well handle these gators...but there is always another one hungry...pretty gutsy stuff in my book...and for what it’s worth as a lifelong Floridian I was taught to keep your distance and never feed them...but you giving them a second chance at life saves them because we are the ones encroaching onto their space...
