I was a cop (recently retired). I can't tell you the number of people I've seen who have died in their homes and their animals (cats & dogs) ended up feeding on their owner's body. It's not just alligators that will eat their owners while "incapacitated".
I think about this all the time. Animals all think differently from us and each other; we aren't all wired the same. For example, people get so freaked out when they find out how common cannibalism is in the wild, or how certain species treat their young. Personally, I believe it's important to learn what goes on outside the bubble of human society, both in order to understand the world around us and who we share it with, as well as to keep ourselves and others safe.
Remember the show Fatal Attraction? All about those owners who died from their pet snakes, chips, big cat, lizards, iguanas, ...all thinking they had a special relationship with their pets.
U have to know there is a difference between dying and being incapacitated. I mean when I'm coughing so hard and then i throw up like what happened to me a couple of days ago my dog runs to me concerned sitting next to me licking my face. She won't eat me because I'm incapacitated. If I die on the other hand that's totally different and its only normal for my dog to feed on my dead body when I'm dead and there's nothing else to eat.
@@salmasalute I agree. Domesticated animals will not eat their owner just because the owner is sick or hurt. Sometimes they will even try to help. But once the owner dies, the animals are left with their primary caretaker dead and no one to feed them and take care of them. Then dead human eventually starts to smell like dead meat and instincts call for the animals to survive instead of slowly starve to death.
Wild animals have the instinct to attack at any show of weakness like sickness or injury.
Basically why my cat just nips at me and does not tears up my neck.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Casper is just using Chris to stabilize him without wasting energy. Like touching a wall to keep moving upright, or spinning 180 around a pole to reverse direction. To a very minor degree, Chris is shedding some warmth as well.
Casper's all like, "Yes, I want attention! If I didn't like you, I could've bit that arm a long damn time ago!"
He's not holding your hand, he's checking to see if you still have a pulse 😝
Lmaoooooooo😭
Right??? He's hoping for that "unresponsive" moment
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😅😅😅
🤣😂😅
I like how he keeps passing by like “hey how’s it goin”
„Hi how’s it going? So are you unconscious yet?“
"Is it Tasty? Is it Scruuumptious?"
For a number of years I took care of an alligator. He was in a pen, had a water tank, some "land," a sun lamp--nice setup. He was about four feet or so long, and we called him Fang. I always knew when Fang was hungry, because when I walked past his enclosure, he would give me a speculative look. He figured I would feed him one way or another.
“Either give me dinner or you will be the dinner.” - Fang if he could talk
@@Kaiserboo1871 Bingo!
Yeah but that's everybody when humans have gotten desperate they've done the same thing
Soooo everytime he comes up and nudges you he’s really just like :‘ooohh is he dead- is he dead!?!? Awww shucks. I’ll give him a minute and come check again’.
Eventually Casper may want to help him along.
😂
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Animals tend to not understand the concept of personal space. Casper is just drifting around, chilling.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have great respect for the fact that he said “I love him he does not love me.” And absolutely nothing wrong with that. This man has respect for the fact he’s a wild animal
The people who try and get selfies with bears.
@Dan That’s rather subjective. If you are anyone, no matter how experienced you are, you are deliberately putting yourself at risk jumping into a pond with a multi-hundred pound carnivorous lizard known to have one of the strongest bite forces in the animal kingdom.
This is what that grizzly bear guy who got eaten didn't get. They're wild animals. They' ALWAYS going to be wild animals. You might get them used to your presence, but if they're hungry, you're hurt, or any one of a million things goes glitchy, it's lights out.
Yeah, and I love gator steaks!
@@petedavis7970 the difference is that the croc is tamed, and the bear guy just got the bear used to his presence, major difference.
Being in the water with him puts you in a very vulnerable position.
Casper 🐊 is showing affection though cuz he is willfully placing his little hand on yours so adorable. 🐊🙏🏼🥰
I love how Casper keeps contradicting him by being adorable when he discusses how dangerous he is.

@@xianshep Casper is a male name.
@@nickgennady Uh, yeah. I was trying to make a smart-ass extrapolation on the behavior of human females and suggesting that perhaps they had misidentified the gender of Casper.

Casper’s like “Yeah… Let em know.. I’m gangster”
I really like the way Casper just floats like a boat and just slightly wiggles to change direction
He really looks extremly chill. That is, until someone something that looks like a prey shows up.
Casper checks all the time:" Are you injured? At least somehow?"

@@pleasecontactme4274 yes. Crocs and gators are dinosaurs.

Casper is really one in a million, he takes his training very seriously and knows what his job is. Gators like people all have different temperaments. As long as he doesn’t view a situation as threatening to him, or something unusual happens he’ll be fine. But a gator is a gator and is still at least potentially dangerous.
Trainer: Seriously though, he's still dangerous
Casper: kisses his cheek

Love seeing this! I went diving at a spring and came up on an alligator and he swam away from me so fast, he clearly wanted nothing to do with me thankfully.
You’re a brave dude. I respect bravery.
He talks about how the gator would eat him and he casually swims up and puts his hand on yours. That gator understands what you are talking about lol
One day...lol
Casper loves him in his gator way. He is saying that he had no real plans on eating him.
Him: "This gator would eat me if he got the chance."
Gator: "You know it, my dude. You know it."
this whole thread got me rollin hahah
"We are bros, man, but you do look delicious."
" i love him, he does not love me"
sounds like an abusive relationship 🤣
It is. But the abuser has been well trained to behave itself.
JAJAJAJAJAJAJJAA
The same can be said for all cat owners then 🤣
@@Asertix357 how can you be abusive if you didn’t even know somebody loved you
That’s most relationships in the wild.
"He does not love me" then Casper immediately comes up to (right after holding hands mind you)and gently puts his head against his head like as if to say "yes I do!"😆 Don't get me wrong I trust the expert(s) here but it is hard to believe when you see this 🐊 Awesome training here
Yes lol he's being so friendly holding his hand and keeps coming up to him wanting attention 😅
It's hard to tell with alligators. Only the owners can really know. It's not impossible for alligators to bond with their owners, but it's VERY rare. It takes luck to get an alligator that can be tamed. It's basically like how we domesticated wolves. You need to have an individual that's born tamer than others, and you need to be a person that that individual really likes for one reason or another. I can think of exactly two crocodilians that have bonded with their owner, Pocho and Wally. Wally I'm not even sure if he is actually bonded or not. Pocho though definitely did bond with his owner. He followed him home and refused to leave, and exhibited play behaviors like they do with their friends in the wild.
Agreed their are some animals that are just plain born with milder temperaments and when trained/domesticated properly they turn out quite gentle and maybe even loving.This gator is an exception I'd say.Tank the Jaguar 🐆 is another fine example from Safari Sammi lol I'm a huge fan.He has a better attitude and manners than most humans do I swear!
sometimes an animals gesture means something very very different to them then it does to you.
Many snake owners think its a sign of affection if their snake stares into their eyes, to the snake, it means I'm going to eat you.
@@mozxz yep👍that's why it's so important for professional trainers to learn and know the difference of course.Something we'd think would be a calm gesture could be the exact opposite from an animal
Absolutely amazing… Trained not tamed 100% agreed. But Casper is more than use to you being there. But 30 plus million years of instinct is alive and well with Casper..I can watch you two over and over..
Chris: "He doesn't love me. He would eat me if I was knocked out..."
Casper: "Chris that hurts. I do love you. C'mon We are practically swimming in each others pee right now"
@Dan was pretty funny and the gator had plenty of chances but didnt take em
@@TGP-vq4vi well he can’t sure he would injure but any decently strong grown man would survive and if they knew how to defend themselves have a pretty good chance especially since Casper is a smaller gator so once they escape Caspar getting locked up for good and he knows if he tries more of that he gon turn into his movie counterpart.
@@TGP-vq4vi The thought process for predators is kill those who can’t defend themselves. The weak, whether old, young, or injured they will kill. If you are none of those there’s hesitation, if not then you’ll die and this is no different, no amount of training can change that.
🤨📸
Come here chris it's time to swim in each others citrus
Casper doesn't need to be a pet, he just needs to be himself. Casper is a wild animal, he and Chris have formed a social contract that involves compromise and respect.
i like your comment.
@@jayseven5249 That is a part of that contract.
@@alalalala57 gator is delicious
Sooo... love?
Contract: I, Casper, promise not to eat Chris while he has the ablity to move and scream for help if I tried to eat him. If he is incompacitated or dead, all bets are off.
Thank you so much for expressing to everyone the importance of knowing that casper is a trained animal versus tamed. Awesome job.
Thanks for being the human and watching out for BOTH of your hides!❤
Human brain: "If i can pet it it's a dog!"
Pretty much 😂
I find it hilarious whenever I see such comments in any wild predator video 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Furry beavers can be pet too.
Beavers are fat plump dogs of the water
well, domesticating animals - it is our nature. We do this to many dangerous animals in the past.
Chris: "pls guys, he's not cute, he's dangerous. He can literally kill me at any moment"
My brain: "hee hee, swamp doggo!"
Must give pats to swamp boi

That swamp puppy will eat you in a heartbeat the second you start feel ill, trained not tamed, yep, lol 🤣 so true! I was born and raised in Florida around gators, I like to keep a nice safe distance with them.
Your alligator obeys you a lot more than my dog.

Thanks for clarifying the nature between instincts. Go Casper and you..
Thanks for being a awesome human.
The way you say "One day" 😂😂
Its crazy how he just floats around looks like he is living the best life
IIRC Hes a Rescue and is living there for the sake of being rescued and Rehabilitation. Just like Winter the Dolphin (RIP to her) He will live there for the rest of his life due to him being used to the enviroment
He probably is. With an enclosure that big and constant food source, a Gator couldn't ask for anything better
Indeed
He is living the life. Waing now for 13 years to see if his buddy makes one false move (slip and fall) so he can have a tasty meal of "Man in wet suit!"
@@fukhue8226 awesome comment and username. Rad. Plz check out
"He is trained, not tamed"
That's gold right there buddy.
You know it buddy 🤠
This is accurate in regards to most exotic pets (looking at you tiger and hippo owners).
There is no such thing as a tamed crocodilian. They are apex predators with millions of years of instinct behind them. It’s just smart enough to realize that keeping the human alive means an infinite source of food.
Tame doesn't = SAFE, either.
@@Kaiserboo1871 Not true.. Most animals do not have the mental aptitude to 'plan' for the future. Humans, are actually one of the very few whom are actually GOOD at that. Especially a reptile, they don't have mental fortitude to "think" anything, it's instinctual.
Also, LOL! You thinking an Alligator can contemplate "infinity", is absolutely HILARIOUS.
@@StanHowse why are you so hostile.
I never once asserted that crocodilians were super smart, he just has the mental fortitude to know that certain behaviors = food.
Although it makes me wonder, can an alligator comprehend if something is fun or not. Do crocodilians have a form of play.
"I love him, He doesn't love me" my love life in a quote hahah XD
He seems so sweet and chill. 🥺
I'm not sure an alligator has the instinctual ability to feel "companionship", I suspect that their understanding of it is more like "symbiosis". He understands that you aren't a threat to his safety, kind of like how some predators will allow birds or insects to clean their teeth without harming them, or like a remora below a shark.
my thoughts as well. sure he's well fed too
Crocodilians are found to be far far more intelligent than originally thought but the more complex emotions I think you're right.
They dont boop the birds and insects. That thing is showing affection.
@@mayankify i believe the expert more than you my guy
"I'm not sure an alligator has the instinctual ability to feel "companionship"" - Alligators are very attentive parents and stick by their young for 3 years after they hatch.
For those that don't know, that's an alligator. Not a Labrador.

Thank you for sharing this. It bugs me out when people keep alligators with children in the home and they’re all like, “omggg nooooo he would NEVER hurt them, he LOVES us,” 😑
Great vid man, Casper is like me, "Waste not, want not.". I love alligators.
The relationship between you and Casper is like the relationship between allied nations.
"We share a mutual beneficial interest in cooperating with one another, but if things go wrong it's everyone for themselves."
Perfect
No not accurate, that gator is much more trustworthy, and predictable, than any human beings. As long as the human is doing what he's always done, the gator will remain predictable. Human beings cannot be expected to behave the same, even if they are benefiting for it. They'll always be unpredictable.
Casper said I don't bite the hand that feeds me.
@@skittles3310 that's not true
@@druidic4353 Well we'll just have to agree to disagree, I guess. Animals by majority do exactly what they do, nothing more, nothing less. Predictable by majority. Humans? Nah, you absolutely never can be sure about anything. Parents will literally kill their children, and children will kill their parents. Same thing between any and every relationship known to man. People will literally destroy themselves in the pursuit of destroying someone else. Every animal does exactly what they're supposed to do. If you study an individual amongst any animal species, whatever that animal does, it's entire species will have the same behavior.
One thing to point out as well, is that it's not just the way Casper has been trained, but it's also the way Chris acts around him. If he started acting terrified around Casper, it would trigger his predator responses.
Yup, that's a huge thing. Chris's manner never alters, he's very calm and deliberate, and he's always watching.
yes if he starts splashing water around, he would be food.
the same people that think casper LOVES him are the same idiots that pull over on a freeway to try and pet a wild 2000 pound moose because "animals can tell thru the ENERGY i give off im their friend" lol...
Ye I think it's more a thing of casper thinking Chris is not his food because he isn't afraid of him,and if Chris isn't afraid of him,then there must be a reason for it so he doesn't attack him,but once he stops thinking Chris is on a level par with him,he would kill him in an instant
@@user-sk4wf3ve6z That's what Chris meant by "not showing weaknesses".
I love this video. Such good information and so well articulated.
Awww. I love Casper. ❤️🐊
Casper is so cute! He keeps coming over, nudging you, steps on you, eyeing you JUST to make sure you haven't got any weakness he can take advantage of.
lmao
Agreed!
LOL
Right people like omg he wants to hold you, nah bro he wants food... he is a predator and a man on you tube once told me they ain't ya friends. Well shyt you learn something new everyday! Lol
Similar like woman test a guy...
I love how he keeps describing Casper as this monster but Casper keeps coming in to snuggle. 😂
he doesn't come in to snuggle. He comes in to check.
Casper checked the food if its ready to eat.
Humans are warm, so snuggle with live human is warm.
He knows if he hangs close he will be fed. Patience
not snuggle, just whether the marinade is working
You are brave, cool, and equipped. VERY PROFESSIONAL! Thank you for this video.

You and Casper are AMAZING!!
Your hilarious and honest! Great video!
Fascinating. So essentially, as long as Casper still perceives you as “you” (that being; an able-bodied creature that is aware of him and respects his space) he will not harm you. But as soon as something compromises that perception he has of you, you will just be seen as another opportunistic meal.
That's a bit of a reduced version, again humanizing his perception.
In a realistic and blunt sense, along as Caspar senses there's no weakness or vulnerability that would cause a shift in their current dynamic, he's not going to attack. Because he's trained to think that his trainer is superior. They have a symbiotic relationship currently.
Caspar performs x y z, he gets meals. He doesn't upset trainer doing x y z, he gets meals. So he's fine with their current partnership. However, this guy is still a large meal for him. If he sensesv that the meal is now suddenly available to him, he's going to have it.
It's less a humanized perception, and very very black and white in that they relationship is currently beneficial to him. Most trained animals prefer that benefit, or they're raised only knowing it. But instinctively if the dynamic even seems to shift, they're going to presume the position of a predator and devour / kill /dominate.
I think I've heard of a alligator trained to be a hugging gator or something
Thats a whole lot of "perception" coming from animal with a walnut sized brain.
@@unbothered5240 the first person literally reiterated what the trainer said so they're right as well
@@ricpowers1475 brain size doesn’t determine an animal’s intelligence or perception if that was the case then we humans wouldn’t be the smartest animals and many other animals that we perceive as intelligent would now be dumber than those who are actually dumber based on your logic

Casper is just doing laps.
Yeah teasing his friend's misunderstanding. That alligator clearly loves him. That is why he was surprised when the alligator literally held his hand.
His cameraman gave him a signal that Casper was creeping
i cant not imagine the fucking hells kitchen sound when he turns around
Thanks for this vid my guy I really enjoy watching this
Hey Florida's wildest that is awesome you have a relationship with Casper like this cool video excellent information bud it blow's my mind how mellow he is around you.
The fact that Chris is respecting Casper's space while allowing Casper to make Chris pay attention to him at the same time is admirable. It's important to respect wild animals.
That alligator was testing him every time he comes by. Waiting for that weakness.
everytime the alligator grabbed him it was to make sure he’s still alive the moment he notices weakness it’s wraps
It's truly amazing that you're able to do that!
That was a really good presentation. Thank you
“If I got injured, Casper would eat me, no doubt.”
Also Casper: *Vibing in the background and booping trainer guy for attention*
Attention! They r solitary animal. They don’t like company of others most of the time
@@asifmetal666 only the big ones are solitary. Smaller ones, like the alligator in this video, are much more social, forming congregations for safety and the chance to share kills. Still, it probably isn't for attention, as it is trained, Casper is probably asking for something like food, grooming, or whatever positive reinforcement was used to train it.
Kinda feel like he was checking if he was still alive
@@chitinskin9860 your answer seems a lot more educated, thanks for your comment. Sick and tired of people stating their opinions and assumptions as fact online like that guy saying 'gators are solitary' when its actually just plain wrong...
I love how he never lets the alligator sneak up behind him and always turns around to face it, smart man
I noticed that he never really splashed the water to much that probably would have set the alligator off..
He didn't touch on that but I thought to myself "I wouldn't take my eyes off of him not even for a second."🧐
Casper was checking his pulse! 😮lol
This is quite different from what Kevin Richardson has shared about lions.
He has stressed plenty of times that even if he is injured, the lions he cares for don’t/won’t try to take advantage of him being indisposed. Fascinating!
Same for dogs, cats etc.
UNTIL they are hungry. If you die, dog won't eat you. But if time flies and dog gets hungry he will come for your corpse.
Same with Kevin's lions. They are not gators, they are packed animals and they treat him kind of as their own. He said that if he angers them or become threat they will attack him.
You’re aware even cats and dogs eat deceased owner at home? You must live in a pretty sheltered life…
Casper- holds his arm “I would never..” 🤣

Make no mistake. Casper is a cold. Calculating apex predator who knows who his next meal comes from.

„that’s just a casual lion“ says Chris in the water with an alligator 😆
Gotta love Casper 💚🐊
Florida men are built different
That lion would kill him and that Gator to
@@conesobruh9165 matters how big the gator is and the terrain. If the gator is 15 feet long could probably take out a lion on land. In the water its an EZ kill for the gator. Like he said in the video "People always like to believe what they want and accept that as the truth."
@@bossturner9540 dunno about the lion but it can go both ways with the other big cats like the jaguar and tiger.
I am so glad you had this discussion because folks on TT truly believe some they are like a Labradors. I absolutely believe some of those folks on TikTok would truly go pet one.
Thank you for making such a responsible video. This is the smartest video I've seen on TH-cam in 20 years. Great job! 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Trainer: He will never eat me, he is trained!
Casper: Thirteen years I've been doing lapses figuring out how to eat him but no breach found!

I bet when he was talking about the tree branch falling on him, Casper was thinking "one of these days my friend.."
casper eyeing the Tree branch above, waiting for the fall
Is anyone else appreciating just how clean and inviting that water looks? They definitely take care of their gators.
Was just thinking that haha

That's tarded
