00:00A field trip is an exciting part of a kid's life.

00:06They get to leave the classroom, they get to go out and explore what's going on.

00:10And today, not only do they just get to learn something, they get to touch something today.

00:15And that's what makes a big difference for a kid.

00:17All right, everyone, welcome to gator country.

00:21Every year, we do 50 to 60 shows for schools, churches, and other groups, and we want them

00:25to all have fun and go home with a better understanding of the importance of the American

00:30alligator.

00:31We think these animals are super cool and misunderstood.

00:34Most people think alligators are just these horrible man-eaters that want to kill and

00:36eat us.

00:37But that's not true at all.

00:38As a matter of fact, alligators are naturally afraid of humans.

00:42When we're done, we're going to educate these children on alligator safety.

00:46This is Harley.

00:47Everyone say, hi, Harley.

00:48Hi, Harley.

00:49We're also going to let them know we need the American alligator in its homeland.

00:55Swim between her toes.

00:56What do y'all see there?

00:57Webs.

00:58What do y'all think they use that web feet for?

00:59Swimming.

01:00Swimming?

01:01Raise your hand if you think it's swimming.

01:02Raise them real high.

01:03Be proud, because you're wrong.

01:04What?

01:05Yeah, I know.

01:06It's crazy.

01:07I teach these people how to do these shows, but I want them to do them their own way,

01:11to say their own words, and to make up their own jokes, and to do it their own educated.

01:15The only thing they swim with is their tail.

01:18They're going to move it back and forth like this, and it's going to propel them through

01:20the water.

01:22Kids get excited by alligators because they're magical.

01:25These are something they don't get to see like a dog.

01:27All right, so as I'm sure you can guess, that is Big Al.

01:34Big Al is our second largest alligator here at the park.

01:37He is 13 feet and four inches long, but not only that, he is 92 years old.

01:43Harley's part of this show is to be very entertaining, but what you don't think about, what he's

01:48doing is incredibly dangerous, and Harley's very good with those big alligators.

01:53We're going to shift up here, and go along this deck, and we're going to check out Big

01:56Tex.

01:57These kids may not come in loving these reptiles, but they'll at least be educated, and come

02:08out with some knowledge, and I hope they come out liking at least one reptile.

02:13Big Tex is our largest alligator here at the park.

02:16He is 14 feet long, weighs 1100 pounds, but not only is he our largest alligator, he is

02:23also the largest in captivity in the world.

02:25I hope these kids go home with an understanding, and a lot of memories on these amazing reptiles.
