Spalshin’ and snappin’! Casper reacting to splashes at the surface. When he is underwater he often puts his nictitating membrane up, which limits his vision, and he reacts much more to movement and sound. He will snap at anything that moves underwater like this, making him much more dangerous when submerged. Most his snaps are really sweeps, slower moving and feeling for something, but sometimes he will be quick! Experimenting like this helps us understand his behavior and what triggers snaps, and we always have fun too 😂. ~~~If you enjoy the video, PLEASE SHARE!! Getting the educational content out there is our best bet to get people to care about and want to help wildlife! ~~~You can come swim with me and Casper! If you want to come join you can book online now, go to www.crocodilechris.com Let me know if you want to go! Observation and photos only at @evergladesoutpost and tour participants are separated from gators by safety fence. Remember all the gators you see me working with are rescue nuisance gators, caught from the wild as big as you see them now! The state kills 7k-8k each year. We volunteer our time to catch & rescue them and bring them to sanctuaries, unpaid.
