This is dangerous to do.

00:00Oh, hey, look at this gator trying to bite me in the face.
00:03Nah, it's actually just Casper.
00:04So I was just playing around with him a little bit,
00:06hanging out underwater, blowing some bubble rings up
00:08to see how he would react.
00:10And so he just kind of sinks down to the bottom.
00:12Isn't it so cool how they can just be floating totally fine
00:15and then decide to sink down?
00:16But then he sinks down and tries to get a little bit nippy.
00:18And that's just really him being more curious,
00:20just trying to investigate.
00:22And as you can see, I kind of touch him a little bit,
00:23but I'm also very careful.
00:25If you see him kind of twitchy, I'm very, very careful
00:27because these slow, exploratory swings, where he's just
00:30kind of feeling around, can turn very quick, very quickly.
00:35And so I do things like this all the time with him,
00:37where I just kind of explore and experiment
00:40and see what he's going to do and try blowing bubbles
00:42or moving my hand around or moving the water around
00:44with my hand like that, just to try to see how he reacts.
00:47And it allows me to learn more about his behavior,
00:50but then also gets him a lot more used
00:52to interacting with me as well.
00:54And as you can see here, I still hold him up.
00:55And he's totally fine and chill about it.
00:57And so I just always want to be careful, though.
00:59Always want to watch out.
01:00Oh, he's still an alligator.
