Today we’re hanging out with Casper the alligator at Everglades Outpost! To learn more about how to come swim with us, check out my website crocodilechris.com
This guy is pretty honest, respect. I love how Casper recognize his name and come over every time he's being called. He's cute and seems chill, but I prefer to adore him from a distance. Lol
This gator does look more friendly than others even if you say it's not a thing. Several times in this video his eyes just looked like he was at peace or happy. Still dangerous but a chill gator imo
@@doryfishie2 nah. I know what you're saying. 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.
This crock's whole personality is trolling this guy on video. In an older one, when Casper was smaller, he was talking about how alligators don't love the way people do, and as he was saying it, the gator crawled up and hugged him.
He never showed any care during the whole conversation but as soon as he heard his name it was instant reaction. He is very intelligent and laid back but you can see he's not drugged or mistreated. Plus when she starts talking he goes towards her
*gives Caster treat to show everyone how quick he can be* *Casper: slowly takes the treat after it landed in the water* Casper always does everything to disprove everything Chris says and warns about.
After seeing the last video I immediately had the urge to share my newly acquired knowledge with my girlfriend. After approximately 5 minutes of me talking about crocodiles in bed at 1 am, she asks: so how do they sleep? All my confidence in crocodiles facts was shattered right there and then. Thankfully, you posted this video and I can now look my girlfriend in the eye and tell her with a smirk: “they don’t”.
Casper's philosophy: This human is friend, not food. This human is nice and gives me treats. This human gets to live.....today.❤🐊❤ Casper is so chill. Chris, I've learned so much by watching your videos. Thanks Gaby, you were awesome too.
@@johnnydeclanbarnes116 It really is. The Quran has only had one kind of Quran when the bible has so many copies. The best thing about this is that the Quran has stayed this way for more than 1400 years.
I've had a lifelong fear of Alligators/Crocodiles and sort of harbored a hatred for them. This video was extremely helpful. Casper seems like such a good boy. Thanks for opening my mind, learned a bunch!
if you are wondering why Casper does not attack Chris, is because they sedate and feed him before hand and Chris wears a calming pheromone secreeting wetsuit and hypnotizing sunglasses and they cool down the temperature in the water... oh and Casper is actually a bunch of squirrels in a alligator costume.
Ya'll... seriously, how incredible is this??? Casper was a wild alligator - WILD! Look what Chris has accomplished with him!! This is, of course, countless hours of work with him - but look how much we are all learning because of his commitments 😍
@@JJJinXXX casper's personality is certainly helping. He has shown other alligators and crocs that even after years of training they remain unpredictable and somewhat agressive
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.
I will take these education talks over "excitement shows" every single time (No mistake, swimming with Casper is not a "excitement show" and more of a interactive event... and a very unique one that i would love to do and still would be "exciting"). Very informative and increases my appreciation of the species in many more ways. Side note... Casper's head and jaws are a lot bigger than it previously appeared 0_0 (Either that or he has grown).
Agreed. A shame that channels like Discovery and History rely on fear and shock for views, which is ultimately putting both the animals and humans safeties at risk. Lots of great videos on youtube and instagram where experts teach and interact calmly and with respect.
I really can't believe how chill Casper behaves, you'll grab him around his chops and he's just like "how's it goin' man!" You also mention needing to have visitors behind a net, I wonder if this is because guests might not behave properly, or if behavior simply wouldn't matter because the gators don't know them. Thanks for making these interesting videos!
I think the net being up is because Casper isn’t the only alligator in the pond. And the others don’t act like he does. They ain’t as trained as casper is. And like you said too some people would probably not act good and then boom they die because casper would attack
I would also guess the net is up for legal reasons. I once went somewhere were they let people pet an alligator. The guy mentioned that it was super tame and would not bite us but for legal reasons they had to put a band around his jaw.
@@makaleybaker6595 i think he meant it can happen but I don’t think it’s as likely as he made it sound yes 100% it can happen but I remember him saying that if he plays dead the alligator will nudge him and check him out first
The Net is likely to prevent a few things, visitors hurting the alligator or agetating him, for example by stepping on its Tail by mistake wich would make him Attack in Self deffense, Its essentially a safety net to prevent human Incompetence🤣🤣🤣 oh and also prevent visitors from being eaten should something go wrong
I really appreciate the educational aspect of the videos. For someone like me who is absolutely terrified of alligators, crocs, snakes.. any animal that can “eat” me…. I have learned so much from you guys and even now want to come and do the tour with you! Amazing job and I hope I get to share the experience soon!
Casper is the cutest, I hope you will live long and happy life Casper!❤ we humans are gods with amnesia we did know how to find peace in nature, but we forget! this modern human so lost, they are scars of spider ...man ... you are living the dream.
Humans will actually sometimes exhibit a type of unihemispheric sleeping when trying to sleep at unfamiliar locations or when experiencing anxiety, and it'll just feel like a poor time resting.
That's interesting. I don't know if that's it, but if I tell myself that I need to wake up at 7AM, that's when I wake up. Of course..I don't always actually wake up because I'm 101% lazy.
@@mukwoorusilverhair4283 same dude. If i have something early in the morning i set my clock to 7.10 i wake up at 7. Ofcourse not always but it pretty frequent
Excellent video once again. I knew a bit about how alligators sleep and breathe. I appreciate the fine print and comparison of us vs them. Gabby, I hope you have had a minute to catch your breath and hope you found the bunnies homes.
I love that Casper is intelligent enough to form this symbiotic relationship with his human. Knowing said human will provide permenant food source to him
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.
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.
@@Kvitravn. lol ok so we are on the same page, sorry I missed the joke but I've literally seen the most mental replies on here 🤣.. When people think Casper will behave like a dog. That gets me, I'd gladly remove a bone from my bull terriers mouth when he's going over board but I definitely won't shove my hand down caspers throat 🤣🙈
Honestly the one take thing makes the video seem a lot more natural, and I find it a lot easier to take in the knowledge you’re putting down. I actually really enjoy it, feels like I’m apart of the conversation 👍🏼
I like that you guys are making these videos.. super interesting to me. And it’s cool you’re actually reading the comments - don’t let the commenters get to you too much haha
Everytime you are explaining some things about Casper it always seems like he is secretly like "oh yes tell 'em, I am a very special example of my great species, admire me!" :D I think this is your secret trick to make him so friendly, you play to his ego! :D
I like to imagine Casper understand every word and is like „yes, yes, quite accurate. Now give me the meatball, *chomp chomp* yesss, now scratch me… yes, life is gooood”
people who dont spend 20 plus years with animals think they are all experts. i will believe the people who spend their life to these animals. dont listen to haters and just keep making us videos that we love to watch!!!!!
Wow that is so fascinating to learn that there are beings in existence that breathe consciously. The idea itself blew my mind. I had to pause the video to think about it. Truly fascinating.
I don’t think anyone is hating on you guys… there just ignorant. You guys shouldn’t get to hung up of frivolous idiocy. Cool things will attract audiences. Audiences are filled with people at different points of growth in their lives. Main thing is they’re here adding to your view pool! Much love gator whisperer!!
Casper is one handsome crockadilion and I love taking in his many expressions. Spellbinding. Your discussion’s not bad either and I think he agrees with everything you say especially in one take. Please don’t stop sharing Casper with us.
I’ve learned so much about crocodilians from you guys! My family and friends might be tired of me spilling alligator facts all the time but at least they’re informed 😁👌
I was about to say out loud "aren't ISOs closer to the lateral line of a fish?" And then Chris said it. 😂 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. :)
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.
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.
Great info Chris... I've been spending a lot of time in the Everglades just outside of Miami and see a lot of gators. What you covered in this video helped me understand how the gators perceive what is considered food and how they hunt. Glad to know that they do attack their prey underwater as well as on the surface
I love how chill alligators are compared Nile Crocodiles. There's a local alligator that's always blocking my drive way and he's so chill when I shout at him to move. Thankfully no one feeds him so he's not interested in humans. He just really likes sitting on my drive in the sun.
LETS GO!! I had this question on a video posted a month ago. I think it was the, “why isnt your alligator attacking you?” video. My curiosity will finally be satisfied.
I still think you should auction off the alligator and croc teeth that fall out. It would be a great way to earn extra money to put back into the care of these magnificent creatures with little to no effort on your part. It's not like your extracting the teeth. They fall out, you collect them, sell on Ebay to people like myself and make some good money to put back into the business.
Some people are always half asleep, with a tendency to snap at you, but they're physically not much of a threat if you know how to deal with them. Oh s… they're really alligators.
Watching Caspar slowly swim up while his back is turned gives me so much anxiety. I know he's a professional, Caspar is trained, and he has a second pair of eyes, but this man has serious nerves of steel to not even flinch.
I love Casper so much. This is helping me with my alligator trauma. I visited the Alligator Farm as a kid and was left on a bridge there with all of them hissing and snapping below me. Florida terrifies me because of this. Love your work. Thank you!!
These education videos are always so fun to watch, i really love learning more about crocodilians and you guys (and casper of course) are just such a joy to watch and listen to!
Lol!!! Shut the front door! People think the peacocks are cats screaming?! 😆😆 this breakdown on how gators sleep was awesome. Learn something new everyday!
How do gators keep their teeth so clean? Are their wild birds in Florida to pick clean? Is the cleanliness due to their natural tooth loss and regrowth? Im just amazed at Casper's toothy grin!
They don’t eat any sugar. They only eat meat and bones. Their teeth can be discolored due to iron and other minerals in the water, but their diets keep their teeth beautiful.
I like how Casper just closes his eyes and relax while the whole explanation is going on
So adorbz
He is aware that someone else is there too 🤣.
When the teacher starts talking:
Bros talking prolly makes him relaxed haha
I just wanted to say something similar :P
chris : they don't sleep
casper: tries to stay awake
He recently got sedated so it may have a bit of an after effect
@@maxdong3514 He is just thinking about the cats he is about to get fed.
@@anasalami1561 My understanding from this clip is they're peacocks & not cats. Which would make sense as I'm sure peacocks are tastier than cats.
@@anasalami1561 He's thinking about the cats he was fed earlier to make him docile
😂😂😂
This guy is pretty honest, respect. I love how Casper recognize his name and come over every time he's being called. He's cute and seems chill, but I prefer to adore him from a distance. Lol
yes, prefer to stay away from beasts.
better trained than my cat
"youre an unconscious breather, you don't need to think about breathing" welp thats the trigger to start manually breathing
Right haha instantly started thinking about breathing
Same goes for blinking. And swallowing.
Sorry for anyone reading this....

I know Casper isnt a pet. But, he does look cute in his own scary way! Lol!
yeah he's adorable/terrifying in basically equal measure haha!
He does, he does...
Chris: Alligators Don't sleep.
Casper: Watch me sleep through this entire video.
Epic trolling Casper, keep it up!
😂😂😂
He's half awake tho

Casper always does everything to disprove everything Chris says and warns about.
except attack chris
All part of his plan.

Every bond you break
Every step you take

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.
Gator camo lmfao I think they can tell the difference
I love what you do as educating us with alligators,... cause I aim yo live in Florida in a couple of years from now !!!
Casper seems to really enjoy the companionship during the video.
Half of the brain is sleeping... Pretty sure that's what happens to me when I need to get up at 6am.
Great info Chris... I've been spending a lot of time in the Everglades just outside of Miami and see a lot of gators. What you covered in this video helped me understand how the gators perceive what is considered food and how they hunt. Glad to know that they do attack their prey underwater as well as on the surface
i like how the guy always has his eye on the alligator when it went behind him. sometimes small things like that could save your life.
You two do such a wonderful work with sharing all this knowledge. Very much appreciated! Keep it up. I hope this channel gets very popular
🤣🤣🤣 this was funny when he said people say that the peacocks are cats screaming because you're about to feed to the alligators .. 😂😂
Awww casper is so cute 😊💜🌟
I swear homie is a robot made of titanium to be so calm and close to the croc the videos are lit af
I love how chill alligators are compared Nile Crocodiles. There's a local alligator that's always blocking my drive way and he's so chill when I shout at him to move. Thankfully no one feeds him so he's not interested in humans. He just really likes sitting on my drive in the sun.
I love that you do the videos in just one take. Nothing worse than over-edited videos. And thanks for all the new knowledge! It's awesome.
I'm sooooooo jealous how wonderful of a handler you are! This is amazing to swim with such a beautiful creature it is once in a lifetime ❤
i like the one take approach feels more authentic
GOD bless you for taking care of such a gorgeous Gator😍💖
You’re very educational. Thank you Chris, Gabby and Casper!🐊💚
The fact that you can just hold em close like that.. such a strong and trusting bond
He's trained
LETS GO!! I had this question on a video posted a month ago. I think it was the, “why isnt your alligator attacking you?” video. My curiosity will finally be satisfied.
I still think you should auction off the alligator and croc teeth that fall out. It would be a great way to earn extra money to put back into the care of these magnificent creatures with little to no effort on your part. It's not like your extracting the teeth. They fall out, you collect them, sell on Ebay to people like myself and make some good money to put back into the business.
People just need to realise your just a kickass trainer and Caspers the best co-partner.
Some people are always half asleep, with a tendency to snap at you, but they're physically not much of a threat if you know how to deal with them.
Oh s… they're really alligators.
me lmao
Watching Caspar slowly swim up while his back is turned gives me so much anxiety. I know he's a professional, Caspar is trained, and he has a second pair of eyes, but this man has serious nerves of steel to not even flinch.
I love Casper so much. This is helping me with my alligator trauma. I visited the Alligator Farm as a kid and was left on a bridge there with all of them hissing and snapping below me. Florida terrifies me because of this. Love your work. Thank you!!
animals not scary but humans are
@@froggergypsy4596 depends on the race
LOL 0:31
I love how the camera pans down to him “🐊…hai…”
I enjoy each video more than the last! Definitely learning a ton! Thanks for the great information!
These education videos are always so fun to watch, i really love learning more about crocodilians and you guys (and casper of course) are just such a joy to watch and listen to!
How do alligators alligate without alligorizing?
It's an allegory
*Chris explaining hemispheric sleeping*
Me: So they're always half asleep? Me too Casper me too
Lol!!! Shut the front door! People think the peacocks are cats screaming?! 😆😆 this breakdown on how gators sleep was awesome. Learn something new everyday!
Wide smiles and wanting to touch Casper everytime. Just a Floridian with half my brain asleep before brain surgeries.
How do gators keep their teeth so clean? Are their wild birds in Florida to pick clean? Is the cleanliness due to their natural tooth loss and regrowth? Im just amazed at Casper's toothy grin!
Gators shed teeths regularly that's why they are white most of the time yes
@@VDR2612 cool to know, thank.ya
They don’t eat any sugar. They only eat meat and bones. Their teeth can be discolored due to iron and other minerals in the water, but their diets keep their teeth beautiful.
@@VDR2612 Also their teeth are not surrounded by masses of flesh and constantly being bathed in slightly acidic liquid. :D
Interesting. Cannot but enjoy how Casper interacts with you.....almost wants you to think or say "Cute Gator" !!!
Gators are cute
he's so cute man lol
Great job! So Informative! Gotta tell ya though...literally crapping my pants watching you in that pool of water with Casper😂😂😂😂😂🐊🐊🐊🐊
Casper is so cute!!🐊

Not anymore! :D
