ive been to this place numerous time i think they closed up now though. it was kinda a crazy setup ive witnesses 5 foot gators climbing the fences and runnin wild with a big crowd at the place.

@Mr127superdee they did alot of renovations....its really nice now....if you havent been by in a while you should check it out

Lunge is 13 foot, 1000lb. I am not trying to critisize you one bit, but it seems that you did not get your teachings from Skeet. That man would have frowned upon your moves. Other then that, take it from me, you did a really good job. Jimmy riffle would show you a thing or two in the future.

[shoeydidit]

@1986dixiegirl i know jimmy....and i didnt know skeet and No offense but No one my age can show me anything with an alligator....if i havent done it its because i chose not to.....not because i cant....i have bigger things going than alligator wrestling or handling and anyone who is "Better" than me has nothing else going for them...meaning that is their life and what they want to do the rest of their lives

"He enjoys it?" Excuse me but, alligators are wild predators! It looks more like the creature is merely reacting to the handler's touches/movements based on natural, defensive instincts.

[shoeydidit]

@AlanMoorefan anything can be "WILD" as in a "Wild" wolf or or a "WILD" pack of dogs etc etc etc...until its in captivity...then it is considered a "pet" and just like you might "play" with your dog and he enjoys it ...so does this alligator....alligators are smart...and this one alligator in particular distinguishes between different peoples voices and knows im not there to hurt him...i personally think he is happy to see me

He was raised with them in the Everglades country loves them like you like dogs and cats. I asked him to do something else but he is doing what he loves. You know nothing about him and have no say or right to judge his intelligence. You just make comments from a computer chair while he is living his life his own way.

idiot

[jissyk1111]

are you sure hes just playing around?? seems like hes gonna bite the hell outta you

[mrsandovalrico]

Dude i can't see the future, but i know how you gon die. Looks fun anyway

Nobody knows anything about this gator until youve seen em in real life, and been around him for a good amount of time like shoe. he is obviously well fed, and ya maybe it looks like he wants to bite, but this kid is very good at what he does and I appreciate you that help with gettin rid of poachers and illegal acts. There is only one Everglades, if it's ruined its never coming back. Everything will be gone.

[Notagayusername10]

I think he likes to play

[ktshoem6]

@redfirekla you dumb ass foreigner, keep your dumb ass comments to your self. No one gives a shit who you are or what you think.

[severecracker]

Gators don't know play, they only react to stimuli. You can call it play all you want to. He doesn't feel play. Your skills and knowledge are incredible. You can read a captive gator well. Can you do the same to a wild gator? In the wild? I know the answer. I am sure you do to. Your good people. I was doing what your are doing , about 35 years ago. In my cattin days.

[gamefreak1000000]

@shoeydidit But gators aren't domestic and their brain is very small, which means they can mistake you for food. Most people who hang around these wild animals normally die at a very young age by these monsters. I know it's cool and fascinating to be around nature, but these killers can take you out without a second thought. Just saying...

[burlbark]

Lunge is going to eat this dude someday......

[xismxist]

He's not. no way near 1200 lbs or even 1000. Gators doesnt get that heavy
