Professional biologist and animal handler, never attempt. Some gator safety PSA!! A thousand people a day move to the state of Florida, how many of them know anything about gators?? Probably close to none sadly. My big gator rules I with everyone who came to Florida knew— never feed a wild gator, keep kids and pets away from the water, and never swim in gator habitat!! What’s gator habitat? Any body of water in Florida that isn’t a designated swimming area. We’ve caught 9ft gators out of literal puddles and ditches not even knee deep, they don’t live in these but if they’re on the move they might hang out for a few days in one! Always be gator aware! They’re NOT aggressive, we have over a million gators in the state of Florida, if they really wanted to eat humans there would be people killed every day, they almost always avoid humans but accidents do happen and they’re often entirely avoidable! So be smart out there, it’ll save human and gator lives! The state kills around 8 THOUSAND “nuisance” gators a year, so don’t be a nuisance person that makes a nuisance gator! ~~~You can come swim with me and Casper!
