Gator feeding chaos

Some dinner time chaos and shenanigans 😂🐊 feeding some, correcting others for not liking up where they’re supposed to be 😂. I love the push into the water at the end 😂. More info from previous posts-At @evergladesholidaypark We feed our gators at the rescue once a week, that’s it, and only a few pieces each. 40lbs between about 20 gators, once a week. And most are overweight from this! That’ll blow a few minds, but you just have to remember your high school biology! Being that they’re ectotherms and don’t produce their own body heat, they actually eat very little and a 10ft gator will likely eat less in a year than the average dog. Any alligator here can easily go over a year without eating anything at all, not that they ever would here but very useful in the wild in a survival situation. I Remember all the gators you see me working with are rescue nuisance gators, caught from the wild as big as you see them now! None are raised in captivity, I didn’t know them from babies, they’re wild animals I work on training. Nuisance gators are ones that show up in a backyard or other unwanted place and are typically shot and killed, the state kills 7k-8k each year. We volunteer our time to catch & rescue them and bring them to sanctuaries, unpaid.
