There's also proof that dangerous animals such as gators, badgers, kommodo dragon's, lions, bears, snakes, or whatever else can become more comfortable with their owner/trainer after prolonged exposure. In a way they get more calm around certain people where they will still be completely tense with others. I didn't say it's a golden retriever. Just that he's calm around the guy that spends tons of time over a decade with him.

      Nuisance gaters tend to, but not always, have better starting temperament than you would get by picking a random hatchling because the behavior pattern of begging for food etc self selects for animals that are naturally less nervous. It's a small difference, but if someone spends enough time working with problem animals of the food begging kind in a given species, eventually your going to hit on one that is noticably easier to work with. Not sure if that is what happened here, but I have run into that scenario with other wild animals a few times.

    It's truly amazing to see the trust Casper has in Chris. While lifting him up he just closes his eyes, not worried about watching what Chris will do next and more a case of I know he won't hurt me so I'll move along when I'm tired of this. Amazing work and great explanation of how gators function!

      Does casper really need to trust him? Caspers got big fuckin teeth, If hes not playing Nice Casper can eat him🤣🤣🤣 he's essentially the dinner that keeps on giving
      "Eat this human be fed for a Day, let the human live and He'll feed me for the rest of my life"

      @@Kvitravn. thats exactly what Chris has been saying all along. Casper doesn't think that way, he's shown how he tries to touch Caspers tongue and Casper tries to take his arm off. There's none of that eat him now be full for a day, don't eat him and be fed for a life time bud.. There is a video where Chris explained that he wears a diving suite because casper touched his chest and tried to eat him when he felt the soft flesh. And another time Casper didn't like the new camera and tried to eat him again. Think it was on instagram if I remember correctly, don't have the links unfortunately..

      @@jk_46 ive seen both videos, its quite facinating, my point was merely that the croc had literary zero NEED to trust him, emphasis on the need part, because if he wants he can eat him. I also Made a joke at the expense of him not Just doing that.

    It's so cool that you guys have Casper's trust. Even if part of it is a "if I don't eat them, I get more food in the long term" way. Crocadilians are way smarter than I ever thought. Thanks for showing us this. :)

    10:40 that reminds me of a line from a book on crocodilians I have, discussing the subject of how difficult it often is to study their behavior in the wild. Namely that it is often difficult to observe anything other than "waiting for the human to leave" behavior.

  • @kieran8921
    @kieran8921 2 ปีที่แล้ว +89

    Every splash you make, every breath you take Caspers watching/feeling you. Also (for fun) I thought the wetsuit was to convince Casper that you are one of the alligators but I guess it is to have a uniformed skin feeling so they do not think you are food, plus it is probably cold.

    • @RoseDragoness
      @RoseDragoness 2 ปีที่แล้ว +33

      he took off his wetsuit on the debunking video. He says he wears it cause they do the video after tours so he been in water for 5 hours or something.. the wet suit help him to not get cold.
