Gator senses!!

[@thepourchos2848]

Casper is like don't touch the ears bro. Lol

[@susanmartin3762]

I said the same thing😅.. it was before I read your comment 😂🤣😅 brilliant minds think alike"!

[@flowersinformaldehyde]

Never thought I'd get so attached to an alligator I've never met 💚😄

[@Mopar_logic]

Get one.... It might only cost you an arm or a leg

[@lylahbackhaus9521]

Lol literally and same

[@WolfCatalyst]

The gentlest pretend bite for tickling his ear

[@Debra.Justice]

Thank you Chris. I love alligators and crocodiles and this video taught me some things about their senses I didn’t know. I didn’t realize they have a homing instinct. I believe bears do as well because here in East Tennessee if a bear is relocated, it will find its way back to the Smoky Mountains. Please hug Casper for me. He is so adorable.🐊

[@williamberry1621]

Great video very educational

[@GatorChris_]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lauralm9905]

Hope your new place is going well for you and Gabby.😊

[@GatorChris_]

Thanks!

[@HanaTheRussell]

I loved Aries spitting out the lobster but Toothy taking it. It would be cool if you could inter-cut clips into these videos to show it better. I also loved the Facebook video where you fed the EHP gators crab legs. I forget which one but one of them spat it out and went underwater to wash his mouth out cause he hated it so much. But then the next gator took it no problem! So interesting.

[@ardinchastain4208]

I never knew I would be as interested in alligators as I am when watching your videos. Such cool animals!

[@OleanderSmoothie]

13:03 Casper is like, "Oh, sorry George! I didn't see you there!"😂 Thanks for the video, their senses are a very interesting topic! I wish I could navigate via the earth's magnetic fields! Maybe us humans just forgot how!

[@clistiarobinson34]

Have an awesome week Chris and I learn so much from you about gators and crocs. So thank you for sharing this. Great video

[@GatorChris_]

Thanks, you too!

[@andrewplummer1682]

Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧 Chris. Another great video full of great insights. Hope things are going well for you in your new home.

[@GatorChris_]

Thanks!

[@petescott]

When you’ve been following on Instagram forever, then you find out there’s a KZbin channel 😂🐊

[@sunny-zp3lz]

You found an alligator treasure dude. For real

[@DeliberatelyBearded]

Great video Chris a lot of great info & that stuff on magnetic fields was fascinating Thanks brother

[@GatorChris_]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@fallinginthed33p]

I'm just waiting for a Magneto to show up so humans can start using their magnetic sense again.

[@jazzbo9903]

I really appreciate your knowledge of these beautiful reptiles and the care you give them. I just love your videos. I know you say, Casper is still a dangerous animal but your videos of him makes me look at him as warm, smiling fuzzy-wuzzy.🐊🥰

[@meloneyparker]

If only we could get Casper to talk (and understand what he's saying).

[@Mikesettles20]

Got a quick question Chris Does he get irritated when you keep calling him 😂?

[@StonedtotheBones13]

He has said that he just wanders off when he realizes he's not getting food 😂

[@timber72]

Casper trying to halfass bite you when you were messing with his ear flaps has got to be the cutest thing I have ever seen on your channel. "Bro. BRO. Quiddit!"

[@diablosmda324]

You call him a lot without giving him a treat. Yet he mostly comes. Even if you are poking him.

[@w7lves]

I’d say it’s second nature

[@ernestsill2853]

Every time I see him with that Gator in the water, I still can’t comprehend. Unbelievable!!!

[@erinzakharia7387]

Watching now, love to learn more about Casper and alligators in general. We love to learn more about them and all the animals yall rescue. My husband and I saw the black mamba video😮😮 totally awesome but praying for your safety. You and Gabby are doing wonderful things for these animals and we are learning and enjoying these videos and sharing them with others😊

[@margusmees5720]

I've been watching your videos for a while now and it's really great to hear all this info about gators, i couldn't be asked to read about it and this way is much faster, so thank you very much for doing that

[@heathers4810]

Awesome video Chris!

[@GatorChris_]

🙌

[@toscadonna]

I remember when Aries didn’t like the lobster, and he looked disappointed and betrayed before spitting it out. Then Miss Toothy ate it.😂

[@GatorChris_]

Yep 😂

[@w7lves]

@@GatorChris_have you seen Aries and Miss Toothy since they left?

[@jazzbo9903]

I know you’re discussing senses but Casper climbing over you is so cute. Back to senses…🐊💚

[@tehwarl0ck]

absolutely love the education you bring to this awesome species!!!

[@kelliephoenix]

Interesting and informative as always! Thank you! 😊🐊

[@GatorChris_]

🙌

[@Vickie-u7n]

I recently discovered your videos on Facebook, which then brought me here. I am loving your videos, so informative but also chilled. So I have subscribed and turned notifications on for any new videos, I’m a bit hooked :D

[@DL-mk4mz]

Not one of those people who'd say"Aww. He loves you!" But the mutual respect you two have is clear.

[@lindadubberly2458]

Your. An Amazing teacher of these Gators, thank you 😊

[@paulgregory7359]

Another brilliant video pal🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@parvatrajpurohit8516]

Keep making this type of crock talk they are really satisfying 🙏🏻🥰

[@jeng8401]

I hope when you have your rehab set up and approved for alligators rescue. They gift Casper to you. I know he doesn't 'love you' but you clearly have a bond together.

[@susanmartin3762]

Casper, " Sick your finger in my ear once more time Dad..."😅

[@WinstonWolfe21]

The intro was so adorable 🥰

[@HanaTheRussell]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZy3qoyrp7dknrs This is the video where he gives the crocodile the lobster if anyone was wondering

[@GatorChris_]

Thanks!

[@keaco73]

Great video thank you!! Do they digest the bones of what they eat or are bones eliminated in tact?

[@toscadonna]

They digest the bones but not the hair.

[@reymazchannel9185]

Amazing ..

[@stacybarrs9765]

Chris I wanted to ask your thoughts about Alligators eating puffer fish. I recently seen a picture of that. Are the Alligators affected by them?

[@GatorChris_]

I’m not sure, I saw that too!

[@robertsole9970]

What’s the frequency range they hear? Is it above and below human range, which is 60 Hz to maybe 15khz, when your young. Bats for instance go way higher than humans and and elephants go way lower.

[@Wazza_333]

No wonder you love him. I love him all the way from Australia. We must come and visit. We just have Saltwater Crocs here.

[@nameunavailable07]

Fascinating vid

[@GatorChris_]

🙌

[@stpworld]

Does he listen to you talk as well he seems to like that I could be wrong have you ever tried to see if he re acts to music or not?

[@jchan39]

Awesome! Very informative, as usual.

[@SavannahSteel]

You just made me realize different types of predators (ambush vs pursuit) have different pupils

[@karen7709]

I know he says that you love him I think but he says he can trust you think but still I love to watch you and Casper together❤

[@jrztoolzmore9991]

I have alot of respect for you and what you do 👍❤

[@GatorChris_]

🙌

[@drteaches]

Our external ear picks up at the same time filters sound, therefore hears yhe whisper

[@lauralm9905]

Yes I look forward to learning about the animals. You do an awesome job teaching us!

[@GatorChris_]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@timothypickford5990]

Great video, Chris.

[@GatorChris_]

Thanks!

[@Rob-wh5is]

Can I just ask Chris do you trust Casper even when he is totally behind you or totally underwater. ?

[@einfamous2875]

Does casper ever want your attention?

[@GatorChris_]

He just wants food

[@einfamous2875]

@@GatorChris_ 🥲

[@einfamous2875]

@@GatorChris_he must come up to you sometimes even if you don’t have food right?

[@harambae117]

I'm pulling this completely out of thin air, but my guess with the vision thing is that they value timing/speed much more than exact location. So if something splashes beside him or flies his way, he'll focus on timing and/or biting fast and hope his big ass mouth gets it which he often does.

[@Bw.e]

How do you think gators compare now to back in the dinosaurs time?

[@GatorChris_]

Likely very similar, just smaller now

[@katanarozu]

😂😂😂I feel like everytime Casper gets a leaf, or a stick in his mouth or on his face; It be funny to make the leaves and sticks into a crown to put on his head lol!! But I bet if you did that he would expect extra biscuits for that lol!!! But I have been binge watching your videos; In which I am learning so much. Not to mention I love reptiles; And I think gators are adorably dangerous, and fascinating at the same time. I work at the Nashville Zoo; And we have one alligator half the times it is just basking in the sun everytime I go past its enclosure. Also when I play Red Dead Redemption Online I avoid hunting the gators on there; And when I see a baby gator I usually swim with it 😂😂😂Then I get eaten by the mama gator lol. But I would LOVE to do an underwater tour with Casper someday.

[@emmanuelzanders1746]

Does gators feel cold or warm ?

[@GatorChris_]

Can they feel the difference you mean? Yes

[@emmanuelzanders1746]

Thanks for the answer 🙏🏾

[@theflyingdutchguy9870]

senses is a bit of a weird word. because usually people mean sight hearing smell etc. but there are like 30 people forget. like the sense that allows us to know where our body is in space. and the fact we dont need to look at our legs to walk.

[@Sernandine]

About your last point with the brain and navigating and stuff.. i have no idea what that means but I'm pretty sure RainBolt can do it. That guy is out of this world

[@TorrieHaskins]

I ❤ Casper soooooo much 🥹🥰

[@Uknowme____]

Does he enjoy being petted, or does he simply just tolerate it?

[@GatorChris_]

Tolerates

[@Uknowme____]

@GatorChris_ that's adorable

[@Debra.Justice]

@@GatorChris_Have you seen videos of Mike at Gatorland giving Sultan the Nile crocodile chin scratches? Sultan really seems to enjoy it. It’s the cutest thing to watch.

[@Lizardliker]

What about when they float with hands out to the sides, vibration?

[@sergant-kv6cb]

interesting video. There is the one video on youtube i saw called "Gator Trainer Says She Leapt Into Cage to Save Her Own Life" and i wanted to ask you if you would do the same in such a situation?

[@scottblesi2469]

You say people may have that 6th sense or a variation of it, maybe that's what " Déjà vu " is... hummmm

[@upgemynd]

How long would it take a baby crocodile or alligator to start eating when it's moved to a new enclosure, given that the temp is suitable for their body?

[@GatorChris_]

Did you mean eating? It’ll depend on many factors like stress and having a proper habitat and diet

[@upgemynd]

@@GatorChris_ I see. Thanks for the information.

[@Tkidddd]

Do you charge money for people who want to swim with Casper? Or just make them sign a release form

[@mrkakotube]

very interesting!

[@DinoNikoloski]

I think they can’t see very much up close , same as we can’t when we have a object very close. Maybe for them that measure is a bite longer.

[@Trademark5454]

Are gators as smart as orcas?

[@louiesyou]

love ur vids bro

[@GatorChris_]

🙌

[@Bw.e]

Aren’t there other gators in there with Casper? Why don’t they ever come up and say hi?

[@dan003]

No more in that water right there.

[@cris-RN]

Yes he has other gators in the pond 😊

[@pineapplezombie4953]

Found it lol thx

[@dianesolowy8010]

Does someone brush Caspar’s teeth cause they are so clean & white? 😂

[@GilraenTook]

I can just hear Dr. Grant saying (erroneously, that ONE palaeontologist got his pet theory into Jurassic Park, thankfully for Lexie, Rexie didn't disbelieve him!) "they can't see us if we don't move." I was going to say sight has to be good because of this vid of a gator being a very good boy and helping curb the wild hog population, but you also mentioned they can scent-lock onto things out of their vision, so maybe not. A BBC article I found on Aussie crocodile (not the same, I know) say salties/freshies have different numbers of cones/rods to skew towards the colour the water would likely be (more blue in salt, more red in fresh), and that they don't have as good of a sense of detail as we do, but their eyes are very receptive to light shift (hence grabbing things flying overhead) and arranged so they can sit still and get detail over the whole of the horizon instead of needing to move their eyes/head to focus on things. So maybe a combination? They can see enough to get around, but rely on movement/smell/touch to get a real good lock on something? kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4XRnYV5hp2ZeKM

[@drteaches]

What if is understanding everything you're saying ? Be careful Cris!

[@ritaduffy8622]

I like your teeth, I could use them Casper African Bull frogs can be trained to come they have rough, bumpy skin and tooth like projections on their jaws

[@mikgeta2878]

Can we please see him on land if possible

[@lauralm9905]

Do they have eyelids?

Yes
