It’s all fun and games til the alligator grows up and kills his children 🤷♀️I don’t care how tame it is; it’s an alligator. They do not have the emotion capabilities we do. Sure they feel, but I doubt they ‘love’ you. Just making sure they’re always well-fed is a good way to stay safe around them, but the ‘love’ part is just for the show lol
He’s definitely not a normal gator. He’s probably got some physical and perhaps mental developments going on that differ from normal. He’s pretty tiny for an alligator that’s 7 years old.
As anyone who has had a loving pet can feel. They are very much close family and losing them is no different than losing family. As I already know from losing one myself. When he reflected back on what it would feel like without Wally. It reminded me of how I use to worry about that myself thinking of my own pet. After 11 years it finally happened and, its not easy. He was very relatable.
@@FernandoRamirez-ig6hx fernando this is not a fairy tale, its real life, it would be a miracle if he was alive, not only would he get eaten by other alligators if the trapper did release him, but the trapper wont admit where he put him, that means the trapper could have killed wally
I consider myself very fortunate to have met Wally. It was an experience I’ll never forget. He was a bit heavy to hold but he actually gave me a hug which I certainly returned. Cheers!
@@Likexner he said they got it from disnay land. its probably been human raised all its life. it never had to hunt and never got that instinct . they probably even did the hand in mouth as a stunt. so it learned not to snap down on anything.
@@gogereaver349 An instinct is something youre born with. Its not something you learn. Thats the whole point. Pretty much any other gator would still bite even if it was raised in an environment where it didnt have to hunt.
@@Likexner there have been other owners of alligators you know and many report they are not aggressive to their owners they have learned not to eat their owner because they will be fed
I've been wanting to meet Wally for a few years now. I was finally able to meet this amazing alligator a few weeks ago. He brought me so much joy just being able to hug him. 🐊
too bad he was stolen then released into the wild, he grew up around humans and seemed to enjoy contact with them, now in the glades im sure he will feel lonely and will never have another hug again.
@@atm6870 google it, its sad, both for the owner and the gator, it was prob the only gator in the world that would have never attacked any human, ever.
Yo rescato perros y Ellos me salvaron de morir a manos de asaltantes qué se metieron a mi recámara, pues duermen en camitas en mi cuarto, de nada sirve un perro en el patio o en la azotea y menos si se les maltrata, ese caminan no creo que defienda a nadie!!!!!!
When he asks the question of what it would be like without Wally - and has to pause for that extended time, because the mere thought choked him up? That was some genuine emotion, genuine love. Wally is special. They’re both awesome.
I genuinely want to believe that Wally is a unique alligator that doesn't demonstrate aggression toward humans, but never in my life would I let my child swim with him
Alligators do not require as much food as we do. In the summer a large alligator may only eat once or twice a week. He’s probably very safe after he was fed. No reason to do anything when you are full that long lol
Some oriole don’t deserve kids. As of yet yes he’s being peaceful but animals are unpredictable and can attack at anytime. Why don’t people ever learn their lesson? These people have the same mindset of the psychos who enter lion exhibits because they think the lions are so cute and won’t hurt them cause they’re their friends. Just to end up eaten. People think they’re so special as if they’re an animal whisperer or something . All It takes is one bad day for the animal and your daughter is gone.. then the parents will be dumbfounded saying “ oh idk why the alligator would ever do that he’s been nice up until now”. Yeah go figure!!!
They don’t have gators at Disney on purpose (with the exception of animal kingdom) it’s like how they get rescued from golf courses and retention ponds.
I filmed three years of swamp people. Did work at a gator farm. Helped relocate gator nests… this is just so freaking rare and neat - I hope Wally stays that way for the rest of his life.
@@MrPiske1 and you know this? When did you become an expert? I think you are just one of these haters believing you are right about everything and also think you are never wrong about anything
There is just instinct to be concerned about and some animals are not meant to be pets. Let's just appreciate them in there own habitat and not risk or endanger the lives of others. I can't believe the parents allowed this gator in a pool with them!
Now they're separated. I wonder if that prankster can sleep at night knowing the emotional damage he's done to this man, to a lot more people, and to wally. Knowing there's plenty of large gators in the swamp where wally was released, the chance is quite slim but even though, I still hope they find it. So sad.
@@RobertoEcheverria-z6d Yes. A prankster took away the alligator and, for some reason, released it into the swamp. There's a video about it on 6abc Philadelphia.
@@ralfnikoparohinog1918If that’s true, then if he’s alive, he will be traumatized by what happened and may not look at humans in the same way as before, OR he’s even more likely dead, because if he was raised by humans then he wouldn’t know how to hunt properly and since he wasn’t “normal “, other gators would sense that and look at him like prey.
His voice cracking as he talks about wally being the only person he had. Just melts my heart, Wally is basically a Dinosaur. But acts like a big scaly dog 🤣
No you people have it all wrong Wally is an animal that feels scared and alone and doesn’t want to attack people because he could have a bone deformity or he could again fell out numbered so you think you can predict and animals emotion when you have 0 experience nice and Wally is the average case of an animal abuser getting attention while everyone just likes seeing the animal in pain it’s a harsh world we live in where we watch animals being abused and give the abuser prays while the animal is in a living hell😢💀
This gator clearly lacks the killer instinct that all these reptiles need to have to survive in the wild….whether it is a genetic anomaly is unclear, he seems normal otherwise… perhaps he is a socially advanced mutation….. but I still would not have a child stick his fingers in his mouth!
People don't understand that alligator have very sensitive mouths that even a drop of sweat can trigger their jaws to clench. Wally flat out refuses to bite anything, and the way he gently approached that piece of chicken and slowly took it in his mouth just shows the level of tameness he has
I had an alligator I raised for 10 and a half years I named him Munchie. He never showed any aggression I would take him for car rides hold him on my shoulder and swing on the swing with him. If his heat lamp would happen to go out at night he slept right next to me in bed, I truly loved him! But when they passed the exotic pet laws my husband made me find a place for Munchie cause the insurance was just to expensive so now he lives in Tampa Fla. at Croc Encounters! I miss him every day!
Have you seen Kojek the huge Crocodile from Indonesia that live with very Humble Family...? It one of great story' of how Dangerous animals can show affection to human.
Wow, I dont want to sound like a jerk, but your husband is a dick. At that point Munchie was your child, a member of your family. You should try to figure out a way to keep him in your life. Maybe do a go fund me or something. I hope you can at least visit him.
@@MrThewindmaker you really shouldn't call it "taming" there is nothing tame about ANY animal, at best you can PACIFY them. but the moment you think they are harmless, your GOING to get bitten. or stung. or whatever whichever particular animal your after does.
@@dragonrage500 Sadly, people forget that animals do not have the restraint that humans have to be able to control their impulses. It is always a dangerous situation.
@@skip031890 no restraint AND they have instincts that PROTECT themselves. so obviously you should ALWAYS be wary. love your animals sure, just NEVER assume you cannot be harmed BY them in any way shape or form. Nature doesn't play around, mess with something and you get clawed or bitten. ALWAYS.
Some influential man or woman should contact a major TV broadcasting station and spread this topic in the media, and start a "Bring Wally Home!" campaign, it's about time people come together in this crazy word nowadays, and make a little wonder happen. For Pete's sake, drones are used in wars, they can find enemies, I would say send also a bunch of drones to that swamp, and from above you have a great view, which makes it easier to spot him, and it's safer too. We shouldn't listen to those that say that it can't be done, how many of them have ever tried? How can anyone with some power in the USA look at this video and not think about what can be done to help? For Pete's sake, we return rockets nowadays to earth to land, don't tell me that we can't find that little crocodile, use cameras with heat sensors if we have to!!
@@tracymallon8485 The fact is that humans kill more alligators than alligators kill humans. One of the main reasons is to use their skin for those purposes.

@@Whitguy86 The gator IS tame.... You mean the gator isn't domesticated. There's a HUGE difference. domestication is a permanent modification of genetic code and traits which include a predisposition toward humans. meaning they are our pets. Horses, dogs, cats are a few animals that have been domesticated. Tame means a conditioned or learned behavior....Many animals become "tame" but are still "Wild" such as bears, lions, etc. meaning they have learned to be tolerant of humans and human behavior, such as us being around them, touching them, feeding, etc. but they are still "wild" and dangerous. there's only a handful of animals that have become "domesticated". MOST are wild, or trained to be "tamed". this gator is TAMED, and probably trained to some degree.
@@iamnobody9001 NO! th-cam.com/video/YWkkpluLpcE/w-d-xo.html Literally they aren't tame. I think an expert who works with these animals would know more than you do.
When he put his hand in his mouth, multiple times, with zero reactions but opening his mouth wider,THAT was impressive. Didn't react to that natural animal instinct to clamp down. Very impressed by that.
Most Gators and Crocs have a deep menacing look to them. But Wally appears to smile when he's around people. He gives off an aura of happiness. He's not hissing or bearing his teeth at anyone. This gator is definitely different.
I am fallen ill, tired and sad today. This video popped up and filled me with so much joy! Wally living on the oposite side of the globe was able to lift my spirits, thank you Wally!
@@joshuabartlett3589 You can say that about literally everyone and everything. You're a rational human being who doesn't hurt people, until you're not. If Wally was a threat he would have snapped a long time ago, they're giving him the benefit of the doubt that his behaviour has earned him.
No way ,he won't ever be the same because I think he will start acting just like the others because of just being around them an he has to figure out how he will eat he's been fed by humans for years
@@BOLTZtheCLOWNthey didn’t “save” wally. Usually domesticated animals don’t survive in the wild. This poor alligator and man, hoping for a miracle they will be reunited
He is special. As his owner said, he was not born with the bite reflex and aggression like other alligators. I’m wondering if being raised by his owner is how Wally is as he is. It is just so beautiful to see the comfort he gives.
There was another gator that became like this after being shot in the brain. The gator's aggression was completely lobotomized. It's possible that Wally may have some kind of brain damage or defect to his brain that we just can't see. It doesn't matter if he does, as he gets on just fine, but I'm sure there's something different in his brain that makes him less aggressive. If it was able to be passed down, it would make him a great contributor to pet alligators, which I'm sure a lot of people would find interesting or would be better for alligator shows (reduce or eliminate risk of biting).
Dude said oh this gator wasn't born with his natural instincts don't worry 🤦🏽♂️😂 until one day he's hungry and the only thing around is one of those little kids.
Well said but there are also STUPID parent’s that have NO common sense in teaching their own kids to admire an appreciate nature from a distance , be real together in a pool with an unpredictable reptile ?? Who’s the animal here ? My point exactly !!!!
If you haven't heard yet, Wally was stolen from his owners yard and dumped in another person's yard by the culprit, they called animal control and he was released into the wild by the company, pray for Wally, we don't know if we can find him again
Dogs started as wolves. All our "tame" animals started as wild animals long ago. A few wild animals are naturally more tame, in the past, those that were more tame were used to develop tame domestic animals.
Seeing him tear up.. that’s great to see someone being able to form a relationship with a gator the same way they would with a person or a dog. What a sweet man. Gator too.
He better set up somebody to take care of Wally when and if he passes first. (internet): "American alligators live about 50 years in the wild" and Wally is not in the wild and only 7 years old.
Just now learning of his existence after reading he was kidnapped to the wild. Poor things, wally and his owner. Wally might not survive the wild being so friendly
The 'animal activists' out there to ruin everyone's days again. Yeah, there's something seriously wrong with this gator. It will not survive in the wild.
I have a feeling Wally wasnt released in the wild. The tamed behavior of the alligator is one in a million. The owner should have known this. IT means his pet comes with a hefty price tag. That alligator is in some else's home. 1. By a billionaire who wanted that alligator for his personal collection so bad he paid for the kidnappers 2. Gov't who wants to study Wally. Showing his emotion on video means interested parties would have no chance acquiring his alligator. Acquiring it illegally would be the only way to go
Wally is on quaaludes... Say whatever you want...that gator has been hanging with Mike Tyson eating shrooms and is seeing all kinds of stuff no other gator has seen before!!!!!!!!!!!!
you are projecting human emotions onto an animal. This is how animals go extinct because people associate with them. You need to respect nature and NOT project your human feelings onto a creature that cannot feel happiness.
This is so very heartwarming. I've known some crocodilians being friendlier than most but never like this. This alligator actually has a personality and knows how to make people feel better, and he's good at it. I hope he has a long, healthy life and that he keeps putting smiles on faces. He certainly did with me while watching this!
I can't even watch this because it's just so incredibly stupid and irresponsible !! It doesn't matter how " tame " it appears , because when it has an "off " day the risk is substantially greater than that of a dog !! In an instant it can RIP AN ARM OFF or drag them under for a deathroll and drown them !! Beggars belief and idiocy on a SUPREME LEVEL !! 🙄🤦🤨
You see how damn gentle he is at 1:38 taking the chicken leg. He's like an actual dog. Super gentle and like, "Oh thank you for the food, I shall savor it slowly". He has a good life and knows it. He gets fed, something gators love, he sees you as perhaps a mate or parent so he is unlikely to snap - in addition to being fed by you anyway - probably knew he was saved and that this life is better than before so he doesn't need to show aggression, hostility or territorial claims. Basically he is a reptilian lap dog.
Most people grossly underestimate the influence of human socialization. If you didn't give a human child human socialization, they would be very different from a typical person.
My heart goes out to this man who has had a deep loss. I am glad he has Wally and giving back to the community. I wish the best future for him and Wally.
This man tearing up over a gator is insane... He's a part of the family. Being with humans constantly and not having to worry for food ever has made him trust them and built a bond. I truly hope and believe this gator won't bite the hands that feed him. The way he follows the children in the pool is crazy😅
If you’ve ever interacted with gators, you’d recognize just how special Wally is. I have t seen any of his natural predator instincts on display in this video. That alligator is amazing!! ❤
Yes he is brain damaged! I’ve seen this before when gator egg was found and kids opened it before it was ready to hatch, the gator had No aggression and actually had to have food put right in front of his mouth or he would not eat, hunt or even survive!
@@SoundEff3ct Me, too. I would just walk away and later on use a diary for the first time in my life. Dear diary, "Gator bit arm off and people was like, 'We never expect!'"
@@ale7564 I guess I meant maybe this alligator is missing some instincts that alligators normally have. It almost appears like the alligator is drugged.
Amazing. He is truly one of a kind. Probably need to make sure those kids know that just because Wally is cool doesn’t mean that the little ‘baby’ alligator in the lake next to Disney is gonna let them put a hand in his mouth. All other alligators need to carry a sign that says ‘I ain’t Wally’.
Wally's more docile than a calm dog. He sure enjoys people's attention and people in general. Good for Wally and his owner. Wally's got it all figured out!!!
A wild animal should never be a pet...it's just stupid and irresponsible. Look up the woman who got her face ripped off by her friends "pet" chimpanzee. Her friend raised that chimp from birth and it just went off.
@@yanaray5334 Its risky sometimes but at the end the pet owner does know how friendly or not his/her wild pet is Wally seems pretty friendly and he is adorable
Alligators, in captivity, can become as old as 80. Wally is an absolute treasure. He has a L-O-N-G life ahead of him and plenty of people to take care of him in the coming years.
Thank you so much for being such a kind & GENUINE person!! Don't ever let anyone tell you different!! Wally is Family!! & This made me tear up, bc I have a 4 year old autistic daughter & I can understand when you say that he brings JOY into so many people's lives! Keep doing what you are doing!! You are doing a GREAT JOB DAD!!🫶🙏 & It sounds like you have an AMAZING Dr!! It's really hard to find one who actually CONNECTS to their patients & isn't just in it for the money.... Good for her!🫶
Alligators can be tamed. My father had a pet alligator growing up in Chalmette Louisiana in the 60's. Her name was MO MO" and after Katrina she was gone and never seen again. I had the chances as a kid to touch and sit on her. She was absolutey the biggest sweet heart. I just hope she is safe and a good mama
@brumslybrumbino9516 she is wild. One of my uncles found her as a baby and brought her home and put her in a pond. They fed her and fed her and also handled and played with her. When she was about 3 or 4 foot they got scared for the pets and children. She never snapped at anyone. She was gone for about a year or so and came back. We think she may have had babies. She came back and would come and go. Mo mo was a special gator I guess and has come around for over 20+ years. My family left to west Monroe to escape Katrina. St. Benard parish was hit hard and the community was flooded out bad. My family lost that home and had it knocked down and they built a new one. "Mo Mo has never come back. I hope she is with a huge male and they have a big water hole away from humans
WALLY GATOR IS MISSING! PLEASE ,everyone who sees this video Put the word out , someone took Wally from their house and this man is heartbroken 💔 I just love Wally, he was the best Loki ever , lets help find him ! 😭💕🙏
Imagine a Alligator chasing after you just because he wants you to pet him 🤣 Or someone breaking into your house and meeting a pet Alligator instead of a guard dog 👌
@@Mikehatespigs Camel Spiders aren't big at all, that's a myth and they are related but aren't actual Spiders. However, you are right that they chase your shadow for shade. Lol
Absolutely love this man and his alligator. He's so deeply in love with wally, the way he can't even imagine life without his dear friend and companion. Losing so many friends and family so quickly. Wally is a very special animal
Consider that gators are some of the few reptiles who are actually nurtured by their mothers at birth. That’s not a guarantee for why Wally is comfortable with humans, but it’s a guess.
I don't know how I feel about this, on one hand I totally agree that Wally is an incredible gator, just outstanding. But on the other he is an animal, an a reptile no less. I've heard of gators and crocs being very friendly, but instincts still kicking in, like if someone had a seizure or something. I think we should respect the animal enough to consider that no matter how passive or safe that we are still dealing with a gator.
agree 100 percent - he is adorable - but...... i don't think i would be kissing him or putting my hand in his mouth (hello - 80 teeth) or letting my child swim with him - he is a gator!!!!!
its somewhat understood that modern crocs and gators are descended from active warm blooded ancestors, hence why their hearts are those of a warm blooded animal. Some also show parental care and the ability to play...so I think it makes sensce some special ones achieve an intelligence and nature of their closest living relatives the birds.
Wally is clearly very different from the vast majority of alligators, likely due to some kind of abnormal mental condition. I've seen a lot of professional gator handlers interacting with their gators. I've seen people swim with them, touch them, even dance with them, but they always know the animal's limits and are careful/will back off when they see that the gator is uncomfortable. Wally is the most docile gator I've seen by a MILE. The other handlers I've seen will get away with some gentle touching, but this little guy has a bunch of children crowding him all at once and doesn't appear to care whatsoever. I feel like there's something "wrong" with him in that regard, which has resulted in him being harmless to a fault. I don't even think it's that he's being affectionate, I think his head is just empty.
Gators and Crocs are supposed to have a bite reflex where if you touch their tongue they instantly bite. When I saw him swimming with the kids I was like "ohhhh noooo this is such a risk-" then i saw the man stick his whole ass hand in Wally's mouth without a single flinch, and i realized, never mind, I have nothing to say and no right to comment, this is just clearly a very special gator, and whatever corner of the gene pool it got dealt, it somehow randomly got all the genes to make it domesticatable. Somebody should do a breeding project between gators like wally, see if we just end up with a bunch of huggable friendly water guard dogs.
@@newworldman2112 First of all wether their ancestor was cold blooded or warmblooded has completely no say or influence on wether they are dangerous or not. Second of birds are retarded as fuck, except crows and parrots. Third alligators have barely but a brainstem, which means that they are 90 primal nature and instinct. I have no idea wether this alligator is a liability or not though
I’m glad this man has his buddy, I was sorry to hear about his friends and family. I have never seen a truly tame cocodrie(alligator) like Wally. He is unusual to say the least. Glad it makes this man happy and that he’s showing the kids. And helping the kids.
@@Natasha___. yeah it is, he must have a special aura around him and some high holy angels watching over him, plus I imagine the cocodrie likes being spoiled and is never hungry or has to worry about a thing.
I have an alligator next to my house. He lives in the pond nearby. He is not aggressive but you will never see me hugging that dinosaur lol. He is scary and gorgeous at the same time.
it REALLY PISS ME OFF what happened to Wally and then the fact that Wild Life Control wouldn't even tell the man where they took and dropped the gator off at. WLC just killed this friendly Gator
Wally is who he is, because his owner is who he is. Wally is full of the love he has been given. His owner is the true miracle here. To know this gentleman, even through just this video, is to love him. 3:13
EXACTLY. I couldn't agree more. Of course it's not impossible that he was also born with an advantage of some kind, but if he had a different kind of dad/owner, that part probably wouldn't matter all that much, heh. I wish everyone treated their animals this well. The relationships they're capable of having when neither side has to fear the other is SO incredibly beautiful!!
Are you sure about that ,like they say a lion gonna do what a lion was born too do ! And that goes for alligators as well !! I mean ,wally looks all good and that ,but a few years with a human is not going too change evolution is it !! They have not changed their shape or form for millions of years ,and nature only does that when it's prefect !!
@@shaneroberts6391 Wally may have taken some brain damage, there's a certain thing that can disable the aggression a in an alligator, this happened to a gator that was shot in the head.
@@carnotaurusboi1279 Are you sure about that ,I have heard the they have a very small brain ? Only needs it too hunt and so forth ? But I am not am expert , so you might be right !! Just saying ,that they have been around a very long time and have not evolved much in the last million years ,nature only does that when it has achieved perfection ? They are top predators in their environment Are they not ?
Like someone mentioned alligator has this really reflex where it bites when it sensed something to the side etc etc without even knowing what it is. So the fact that he doesn't do that it's actually quite impressive . Hes probably trying really hard in the inside to fight that instinct cause he knows the people around him are not enemies. What a great creature he is
I actually teared up watching this. Especially when that woman held him gently, kissed him and said "Thank you". Oh my god I wish we could all have such a relationship with all animals.
She'll be tearing up alright when that thing decides to bite. -Children should be able to be protected by the grown -ups. This is going to be a completely avoidable horror story when this happens.

Wally is genius. Hes figured out how good life is when you dont bite the humies.

When he asks the question of what it would be like without Wally - and has to pause for that extended time, because the mere thought choked him up? That was some genuine emotion, genuine love. Wally is special. They’re both awesome.
Yeah I know that feeling very well
Well Wallys gonna outlive us all...
Yeah, I got a little choked up thinking about losing such a special animal like Wally. I didn't cry none, tho.

I genuinely want to believe that Wally is a unique alligator that doesn't demonstrate aggression toward humans, but never in my life would I let my child swim with him
I agree. I’d love to trust him but he’s a wild animal.
yeah not a chance
Alligators do not require as much food as we do. In the summer a large alligator may only eat once or twice a week. He’s probably very safe after he was fed. No reason to do anything when you are full that long lol
@@NextLevelCode apparently alligators do not understand what being full means. look into it.
Some oriole don’t deserve kids. As of yet yes he’s being peaceful but animals are unpredictable and can attack at anytime. Why don’t people ever learn their lesson? These people have the same mindset of the psychos who enter lion exhibits because they think the lions are so cute and won’t hurt them cause they’re their friends. Just to end up eaten. People think they’re so special as if they’re an animal whisperer or something . All It takes is one bad day for the animal and your daughter is gone.. then the parents will be dumbfounded saying “ oh idk why the alligator would ever do that he’s been nice up until now”. Yeah go figure!!!

No you people have it all wrong Wally is an animal that feels scared and alone and doesn’t want to attack people because he could have a bone deformity or he could again fell out numbered so you think you can predict and animals emotion when you have 0 experience nice and Wally is the average case of an animal abuser getting attention while everyone just likes seeing the animal in pain it’s a harsh world we live in where we watch animals being abused and give the abuser prays while the animal is in a living hell😢💀
For an alligator to suppress the bite reflex this extensively probably makes Wally the most unique alligator in the world.
I'd never trust a wild animal that may snap at any moment, specially around children. Even domesticated dogs attack their masters. Wake up!
I wonder if he has a different neurology from other gators and that is what affects his bite reflex
Agreed.
This gator clearly lacks the killer instinct that all these reptiles need to have to survive in the wild….whether it is a genetic anomaly is unclear, he seems normal otherwise… perhaps he is a socially advanced mutation….. but I still would not have a child stick his fingers in his mouth!
@@Slo-ryde He needs to breed him to another nicely tempered female gator and generations later everyone can have a puppigator.
People don't understand that alligator have very sensitive mouths that even a drop of sweat can trigger their jaws to clench. Wally flat out refuses to bite anything, and the way he gently approached that piece of chicken and slowly took it in his mouth just shows the level of tameness he has
Dude, that Alligator took that Chicken, more calmly than Dogs do a Bone, etc.
Tempting fate and the alligator should start with the natural selection of the idiotic parents !!
Wally seems great but I'd still probably get my kids out of that pool quicker than he could slide in

RIP wally you were one out of a billion. So sad you to see go :( the most gentle alligator the world could ever ask for! You will never be forgotten
I had an alligator I raised for 10 and a half years I named him Munchie. He never showed any aggression I would take him for car rides hold him on my shoulder and swing on the swing with him. If his heat lamp would happen to go out at night he slept right next to me in bed, I truly loved him! But when they passed the exotic pet laws my husband made me find a place for Munchie cause the insurance was just to expensive so now he lives in Tampa Fla. at Croc Encounters! I miss him every day!

Wow, I dont want to sound like a jerk, but your husband is a dick. At that point Munchie was your child, a member of your family. You should try to figure out a way to keep him in your life. Maybe do a go fund me or something. I hope you can at least visit him.
Go visit him 🙂
I'm sure u have to raise him when is born or 4 moth . . Nice

You do realize that he's only trained, not tame, right?
@@Whitguy86 The gator IS tame....
You mean the gator isn't domesticated.
There's a HUGE difference.
domestication is a permanent modification of genetic code and traits which include a predisposition toward humans. meaning they are our pets.
Horses, dogs, cats are a few animals that have been domesticated.
Tame means a conditioned or learned behavior....Many animals become "tame" but are still "Wild" such as bears, lions, etc.
meaning they have learned to be tolerant of humans and human behavior, such as us being around them, touching them, feeding, etc. but they are still "wild" and dangerous.
there's only a handful of animals that have become "domesticated". MOST are wild, or trained to be "tamed".
this gator is TAMED, and probably trained to some degree.

He is young, as he get older imight be different. Alligators, Crocs are very territorial even to their own.
When he put his hand in his mouth, multiple times, with zero reactions but opening his mouth wider,THAT was impressive. Didn't react to that natural animal instinct to clamp down. Very impressed by that.
That's what I thought. I always thought it's a wild animal's reflex to bite when something enters the mouth.
As a reptile breeder of big snakes and lizards, it is rare he didn’t clamp down. But, other reptiles and animals have surprised us.

I cried when I listened to the story of how this man talked about his pet gator, and shown so much love just to make people smile.
Only in Florida😂
He is special. As his owner said, he was not born with the bite reflex and aggression like other alligators. I’m wondering if being raised by his owner is how Wally is as he is.
It is just so beautiful to see the comfort he gives.
There was another gator that became like this after being shot in the brain. The gator's aggression was completely lobotomized. It's possible that Wally may have some kind of brain damage or defect to his brain that we just can't see. It doesn't matter if he does, as he gets on just fine, but I'm sure there's something different in his brain that makes him less aggressive. If it was able to be passed down, it would make him a great contributor to pet alligators, which I'm sure a lot of people would find interesting or would be better for alligator shows (reduce or eliminate risk of biting).
Dude said oh this gator wasn't born with his natural instincts don't worry 🤦🏽♂️😂 until one day he's hungry and the only thing around is one of those little kids.

Lol. He's so small though! Hello from Australia 👋

That’s really messed up if true!
I never seen something like in all my years..just AMAZING.
Dogs started as wolves. All our "tame" animals started as wild animals long ago. A few wild animals are naturally more tame, in the past, those that were more tame were used to develop tame domestic animals.
Watch the document with pocho the crocodile
Seeing him tear up.. that’s great to see someone being able to form a relationship with a gator the same way they would with a person or a dog. What a sweet man. Gator too.
It makes me happy knowing how happy Wally Gator makes him and everyone else. This is beautiful and so heart warming.

The 'animal activists' out there to ruin everyone's days again. Yeah, there's something seriously wrong with this gator. It will not survive in the wild.
I have a feeling Wally wasnt released in the wild. The tamed behavior of the alligator is one in a million. The owner should have known this. IT means his pet comes with a hefty price tag.
That alligator is in some else's home.
1. By a billionaire who wanted that alligator for his personal collection so bad he paid for the kidnappers
2. Gov't who wants to study Wally.
Showing his emotion on video means interested parties would have no chance acquiring his alligator. Acquiring it illegally would be the only way to go
Or someone made him into a bag or shoe, the other commodity price tag on a gator. As a vegan, it breaks my heart to live in this cruel world. 💔

You see how damn gentle he is at 1:38 taking the chicken leg. He's like an actual dog. Super gentle and like, "Oh thank you for the food, I shall savor it slowly". He has a good life and knows it. He gets fed, something gators love, he sees you as perhaps a mate or parent so he is unlikely to snap - in addition to being fed by you anyway - probably knew he was saved and that this life is better than before so he doesn't need to show aggression, hostility or territorial claims.

What happened exactly? Did the gator live in the wild and visit your dad, or did it live at the house?
@brumslybrumbino9516 she is wild. One of my uncles found her as a baby and brought her home and put her in a pond. They fed her and fed her and also handled and played with her. When she was about 3 or 4 foot they got scared for the pets and children. She never snapped at anyone. She was gone for about a year or so and came back. We think she may have had babies. She came back and would come and go. Mo mo was a special gator I guess and has come around for over 20+ years. My family left to west Monroe to escape Katrina. St. Benard parish was hit hard and the community was flooded out bad. My family lost that home and had it knocked down and they built a new one. "Mo Mo has never come back.

Animals feel love no matter what species. This man loves that alligator
Wally is a well loved alligator by a lot of people in that town. He brings a lot of smiles across a lot of faces.
Give it some time he is gonna remove the smiles off those same faces lolll
give it time those smiles will be erased
When he started to talk about what his life would be without Wally I felt myself to tearing up.
Ok
I was crying like a mf.
lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooo@@Cole_Cross
mental illness
Me too
Wally is just different. Protect him at all costs.
Stop
Yeah
He runs into the wrong person and he becomes boots or a handbag.
@@denisenoe3702 he'd make a beautiful bag
Wally fitnna have a 4 course meal on little kids
WALLY GATOR IS MISSING!
PLEASE ,everyone who sees this video
Put the word out , someone took Wally from their house and this man is heartbroken 💔
I just love Wally, he was the best Loki ever , lets help find him !
😭💕🙏
Oh no, did they find him? That’s horrible hope Wally’s ok 🥺
Is this true, or you just f..... around
@@yourpapi4816s sadly true
Wally is off doing what he's born to do! Hunt and kill. Not a show toy.
@Elle281-fm1yi you did it didn't you
Imagine a Alligator chasing after you just because he wants you to pet him 🤣
Or someone breaking into your house and meeting a pet Alligator instead of a guard dog 👌
😂😂😂
That would be heart attack mode 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
Imagine one of the largest spider the camel spider will chase you just because it wants your shadow
@@Mikehatespigs Camel Spiders aren't big at all, that's a myth and they are related but aren't actual Spiders. However, you are right that they chase your shadow for shade. Lol
Yep, imagine those giant Nile Crocs chasing you, just because they only want a hug, haha
I met wally multiple times ! He’s truly friendly and cuddly ❤ I love him !
Yay! Awesome friend!
So jealous !!!
truly a priceless treasure! An alligator that knows who's no threat and appreciates the warmness of people hugging him! What a chill fella
Wally is a friggin alligator, and he wasn’t born nice just confused why all these humans hugging me , I only want to eat them 😂
What an absolutely kind little soul. So beautiful ❤️. The way he smiles and shows how happy he is gorgeous.
Absolutely love this man and his alligator. He's so deeply in love with wally, the way he can't even imagine life without his dear friend and companion. Losing so many friends and family so quickly. Wally is a very special animal
Wally will also most likely outlive his owner...so he's got a friend for life. Can't say that about most pets.
Wait till it gets angry one day and grabs his whole arm and death rolls and she tears his whole arm off not a smart animal to mess with
@@walterwhite1 💯💯 correct.
@@philipnguyen3107 exactly, not very bright
This is unreal. Never knew an alligator could be friendly.
They actually have different personalities just like dogs.
It’s broken
@@bgk5727 but in a good way.
they can be but the problem is say you feed one it might think you are food to. clearly this one never has done that.
Consider that gators are some of the few reptiles who are actually nurtured by their mothers at birth. That’s not a guarantee for why Wally is comfortable with humans, but it’s a guess.
Wally is definitely a unique soul. Hope he remains this way. ❤
That tells you right there the existence of the soul as an individual substance.
Imagine being a guest at their house, and this reptile comes running from out the back room 😂😂.
You could see the smile on Wally’s face and really enjoying the love and attention he’s getting. 🥰
And we ACTUALLY allow females to vote in this country. 🤦♂️
I don't know how I feel about this, on one hand I totally agree that Wally is an incredible gator, just outstanding. But on the other he is an animal, an a reptile no less. I've heard of gators and crocs being very friendly, but instincts still kicking in, like if someone had a seizure or something. I think we should respect the animal enough to consider that no matter how passive or safe that we are still dealing with a gator.
agree 100 percent - he is adorable - but...... i don't think i would be kissing him or putting my hand in his mouth (hello - 80 teeth) or letting my child swim with him - he is a gator!!!!!
its somewhat understood that modern crocs and gators are descended from active warm blooded ancestors, hence why their hearts are those of a warm blooded animal. Some also show parental care and the ability to play...so I think it makes sensce some special ones achieve an intelligence and nature of their closest living relatives the birds.
Wally is clearly very different from the vast majority of alligators, likely due to some kind of abnormal mental condition.
I've seen a lot of professional gator handlers interacting with their gators. I've seen people swim with them, touch them, even dance with them, but they always know the animal's limits and are careful/will back off when they see that the gator is uncomfortable.
Wally is the most docile gator I've seen by a MILE. The other handlers I've seen will get away with some gentle touching, but this little guy has a bunch of children crowding him all at once and doesn't appear to care whatsoever. I feel like there's something "wrong" with him in that regard, which has resulted in him being harmless to a fault. I don't even think it's that he's being affectionate, I think his head is just empty.
Gators and Crocs are supposed to have a bite reflex where if you touch their tongue they instantly bite. When I saw him swimming with the kids I was like "ohhhh noooo this is such a risk-" then i saw the man stick his whole ass hand in Wally's mouth without a single flinch, and i realized, never mind, I have nothing to say and no right to comment, this is just clearly a very special gator, and whatever corner of the gene pool it got dealt, it somehow randomly got all the genes to make it domesticatable. Somebody should do a breeding project between gators like wally, see if we just end up with a bunch of huggable friendly water guard dogs.
@@newworldman2112 First of all wether their ancestor was cold blooded or warmblooded has completely no say or influence on wether they are dangerous or not. Second of birds are retarded as fuck, except crows and parrots. Third alligators have barely but a brainstem, which means that they are 90 primal nature and instinct. I have no idea wether this alligator is a liability or not though
I’m glad this man has his buddy, I was sorry to hear about his friends and family. I have never seen a truly tame cocodrie(alligator) like Wally. He is unusual to say the least. Glad it makes this man happy and that he’s showing the kids. And helping the kids.
Its a really sweet story and he's such a sweet dude, I'm so happy they found each other.
@@Natasha___. yeah it is, he must have a special aura around him and some high holy angels watching over him, plus I imagine the cocodrie likes being spoiled and is never hungry or has to worry about a thing.
This alligator has the calmest, most down to earth life a gator could have
What the heck am I watching!!?? This is so remarkable! That gator is one of the sweetest creatures. It's shocking how he interacts with people.
I have an alligator next to my house. He lives in the pond nearby. He is not aggressive but you will never see me hugging that dinosaur lol. He is scary and gorgeous at the same time.
it REALLY PISS ME OFF what happened to Wally and then the fact that Wild Life Control wouldn't even tell the man where they took and dropped the gator off at. WLC just killed this friendly Gator
Alligators live 30-50 years so he'll be around for a long time to come.
That shows that Wally's family takes cares of him with love and attention. He is not neglected, starved or abused !
Yeah groomed and clean. Smile on his face.
Wally is who he is, because his owner is who he is. Wally is full of the love he has been given. His owner is the true miracle here. To know this gentleman, even through just this video, is to love him. 3:13
EXACTLY. I couldn't agree more. Of course it's not impossible that he was also born with an advantage of some kind, but if he had a different kind of dad/owner, that part probably wouldn't matter all that much, heh. I wish everyone treated their animals this well. The relationships they're capable of having when neither side has to fear the other is SO incredibly beautiful!!
Are you sure about that ,like they say a lion gonna do what a lion was born too do !
And that goes for alligators as well !!
I mean ,wally looks all good and that ,but a few years with a human is not going too change evolution is it !!
They have not changed their shape or form for millions of years ,and nature only does that when it's prefect !!
@@shaneroberts6391 Wally may have taken some brain damage, there's a certain thing that can disable the aggression a
in an alligator, this happened to a gator that was shot in the head.
@@carnotaurusboi1279 Are you sure about that ,I have heard the they have a very small brain ?
Only needs it too hunt and so forth ?
But I am not am expert , so you might be right !!
Just saying ,that they have been around a very long time and have not evolved much in the last million years ,nature only does that when it has achieved perfection ?
They are top predators in their environment Are they not ?
its a gator. it doesn't have emotions, he doesn't know what's friendship. he gonna eat you if you forget to feed it.
Amazing! How much love he brings out of people. He’s a blessing. May he live long and healthy.
Like someone mentioned alligator has this really reflex where it bites when it sensed something to the side etc etc without even knowing what it is. So the fact that he doesn't do that it's actually quite impressive . Hes probably trying really hard in the inside to fight that instinct cause he knows the people around him are not enemies. What a great creature he is
Genetic mutation could have removed that instinct
He seems to be a mentally disabled gator that doesn't have the snap and shake instinct.
My grandmother raised a gator, and I believe the results were very similar...gator was a marvelous pet. The owner makes all the difference
Tell them about the day your grandmother gotten eaten don't leave that out
You can tell how much the old man is proud of his strange son. Like you can see literally love in his eyes ahahahah
Absolutely the most precious thing I’ve ever seen:) You can clearly see the kindness and his gentle soul in his eyes. What a special gift from God:)
I actually teared up watching this. Especially when that woman held him gently, kissed him and said "Thank you". Oh my god I wish we could all have such a relationship with all animals.
She'll be tearing up alright when that thing decides to bite. -Children should be able to be protected by the grown -ups. This is going to be a completely avoidable horror story when this happens.
@@zerschmetterling4718 I didn't expect anything else from someone who can't even spell "laughing" right 💀
With all animals? 😂😂 Here humans can't have rationships with a couple of humans 😆
