Seven enjoying a nice hunk of turkey! Watch how he slides into the water to wash it down! More info on him from previous posts-At @evergladesholidaypark Seven is our biggest gator at EHP, he鈥檚 10ft and likely around 350-400lbs. He gets the name 7 for a weird reason- alligators have five toes on the front feet, four toes on the back feet, so a total of 8 back feet toes. He is missing one of his back foot toes, so he only has 7 total back foot toes. So his name is 7, makes perfect sense right? He

Feeding and training with the gators, look at how good macho is being!! I鈥檒l include info from previous feeding posts. We feed our gators at the rescue once a week, that鈥檚 it, and only a few pieces each. 40lbs between about 20 gators, once a week. And most are overweight from this! That鈥檒l blow a few minds, but you just have to remember your high school biology! Being that they鈥檙e ectotherms and don鈥檛 produce their own body heat, they actually eat very little and a 10ft gator will likely eat les

Giant aggressive gator!!馃悐 Actually, he鈥檚 not aggressive, he鈥檚 being defensive and mad that I鈥檓 going to clean his pond! He hates bath time馃槀. Look how tall he stands up!! Check out that huge bulge at the neck, that鈥檚 the jaw MUSCLE! Huge!! He definitely works out 馃挭 . There is no pressure point under the jaw, touching there does nothing to the gator, no trick. It鈥檚 just safest place to grab to not get bit and try to guide/control the head, and that鈥檚 no guarantee. A guy I know slipped on that o

Seven getting a litttttle close 馃槀 More info on him from previous posts-At Everglades Holiday Park Seven is our biggest gator at EHP, he鈥檚 10ft and likely around 350-400lbs. He has his own enclosure all to himself now, he鈥檚 gotten too big and aggro to be in with the other gators as he can easily kill some of the smaller ones in the main enclosure. That of course did not happen, but we made the move preemptively. I know everyone is asking about it and if he鈥檚 lonely or if we will put a female in-

A lot of people are very surprised to learn that alligators do not chew their food, they swallow it whole! Check it out! More info from previous posts-At @evergladesholidaypark We feed our gators at the rescue once a week, that鈥檚 it, and only a few pieces each. 40lbs between about 20 gators, once a week. 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. Remember all the gators you see me

Underwater ambush!! That鈥檚 the real concern, everyone asks how fast do they chase and do you run in a zigzag, nope! That stuff isn鈥檛 what you should be worried about! The real danger is that they鈥檙e aquatic ambush predators, they creep up underwater and you have no idea they鈥檙e there until it鈥檚 too late! This is why it鈥檚 so important to keep kids/pets away from the water鈥檚 edge and stay out of gator water! More info on him from previous posts-At Everglades Holiday Park Seven is our biggest gator

I slowed that clip down since it happened so fast, but yes they do all bite, like I always say! Once I got him to hold still we were able to talk about those pearly whites!
