I was a cop (recently retired). I can't tell you the number of people I've seen who have died in their homes and their animals (cats & dogs) ended up feeding on their owner's body. It's not just alligators that will eat their owners while "incapacitated".

@honestlyonyx262 2 жыл бұрын

I think about this all the time. Animals all think differently from us and each other; we aren't all wired the same. For example, people get so freaked out when they find out how common cannibalism is in the wild, or how certain species treat their young. Personally, I believe it's important to learn what goes on outside the bubble of human society, both in order to understand the world around us and who we share it with, as well as to keep ourselves and others safe.

@LagrangePoint901 2 жыл бұрын

Remember the show Fatal Attraction? All about those owners who died from their pet snakes, chips, big cat, lizards, iguanas, ...all thinking they had a special relationship with their pets.

@salmasalute 2 жыл бұрын

U have to know there is a difference between dying and being incapacitated. I mean when I'm coughing so hard and then i throw up like what happened to me a couple of days ago my dog runs to me concerned sitting next to me licking my face. She won't eat me because I'm incapacitated. If I die on the other hand that's totally different and its only normal for my dog to feed on my dead body when I'm dead and there's nothing else to eat.

@sharifaa.8887 2 жыл бұрын

@@salmasalute I agree. Domesticated animals will not eat their owner just because the owner is sick or hurt. Sometimes they will even try to help. But once the owner dies, the animals are left with their primary caretaker dead and no one to feed them and take care of them. Then dead human eventually starts to smell like dead meat and instincts call for the animals to survive instead of slowly starve to death. Wild animals have the instinct to attack at any show of weakness like sickness or injury.

For a number of years I took care of an alligator. He was in a pen, had a water tank, some "land," a sun lamp--nice setup. He was about four feet or so long, and we called him Fang. I always knew when Fang was hungry, because when I walked past his enclosure, he would give me a speculative look. He figured I would feed him one way or another.

It's hard to tell with alligators. Only the owners can really know. It's not impossible for alligators to bond with their owners, but it's VERY rare. It takes luck to get an alligator that can be tamed. It's basically like how we domesticated wolves. You need to have an individual that's born tamer than others, and you need to be a person that that individual really likes for one reason or another. I can think of exactly two crocodilians that have bonded with their owner, Pocho and Wally. Wally I'm not even sure if he is actually bonded or not. Pocho though definitely did bond with his owner. He followed him home and refused to leave, and exhibited play behaviors like they do with their friends in the wild.

@bobbyo5807 4 ай бұрын

Agreed their are some animals that are just plain born with milder temperaments and when trained/domesticated properly they turn out quite gentle and maybe even loving.This gator is an exception I'd say.Tank the Jaguar 🐆 is another fine example from Safari Sammi lol I'm a huge fan.He has a better attitude and manners than most humans do I swear!

This is quite different from what Kevin Richardson has shared about lions. He has stressed plenty of times that even if he is injured, the lions he cares for don’t/won’t try to take advantage of him being indisposed. Fascinating!

Same for dogs, cats etc. UNTIL they are hungry. If you die, dog won't eat you. But if time flies and dog gets hungry he will come for your corpse. Same with Kevin's lions. They are not gators, they are packed animals and they treat him kind of as their own. He said that if he angers them or become threat they will attack him.

I'm not sure an alligator has the instinctual ability to feel "companionship", I suspect that their understanding of it is more like "symbiosis". He understands that you aren't a threat to his safety, kind of like how some predators will allow birds or insects to clean their teeth without harming them, or like a remora below a shark.

Fascinating. So essentially, as long as Casper still perceives you as “you” (that being; an able-bodied creature that is aware of him and respects his space) he will not harm you. But as soon as something compromises that perception he has of you, you will just be seen as another opportunistic meal.

@unbothered5240 2 жыл бұрын

That's a bit of a reduced version, again humanizing his perception. In a realistic and blunt sense, along as Caspar senses there's no weakness or vulnerability that would cause a shift in their current dynamic, he's not going to attack. Because he's trained to think that his trainer is superior. They have a symbiotic relationship currently. Caspar performs x y z, he gets meals. He doesn't upset trainer doing x y z, he gets meals. So he's fine with their current partnership. However, this guy is still a large meal for him. If he sensesv that the meal is now suddenly available to him, he's going to have it. It's less a humanized perception, and very very black and white in that they relationship is currently beneficial to him. Most trained animals prefer that benefit, or they're raised only knowing it. But instinctively if the dynamic even seems to shift, they're going to presume the position of a predator and devour / kill /dominate.

Question: when you say he’s trained (to come, know his name, and work with you/not attack you) does that mean he’s trained to cooperate like that with you specifically? Or is he trained to cooperate with anyone who handles him the way you do? Like, does he know not to attack you because he recognizes you? Or, say, if I was an alligator expert who never met him and knew exactly how to interact with him, would he cooperate with me the same way? Do you and his regular handlers have to be present for him to behave in a trained way?

This is a very good video and you really illustrated some very good points about how many people think in extremes and also how any animal on this planet will behave like other animals if it’s kind, no matter how badly we wish they’d act like Fido or not. One thing that I have learned about animals (excluding dogs, cats and humans) from raising snakes and turtles is that they do not identify with anything on the same level that we do because they are driven by much different instincts, and if one tries to exert control over them in a bid to handle them on *our* terms, it will become readily apparent that it’s actually the other way around.

There are so many videos showing people interacting with or raising wild animals and they only show their 'nice' side and rarely their 'real' side. Naturally people think that these wild animals are like dogs and cats and sooooo CUTE! And yeah they can be but trained vs tame is truth. It's one with if you're dealing with a marmot or small fox but when dealing with large predators, you can't let your guard down. Reptiles especially. They have no feelings and are 100% instinctual. No love, sympathy, or remorse. That's the way they evolved. I think he put his claw on him to serve as an anchor so he could stop drifting. Purely functional!
