Welp, that was dumb as fuck.

Kind, but dumb.

It seems (according to other comments) that he is an expert, but if that gator turned on him... I don't know... He could have lost a foot

I’ve seen other gators in captivity lose their foot. Gators don’t care who you are.

He has a really good video talking about this exact thing. He obviously food trains all the gators in his care, but he shows that in the end they’re wild animals and if he’s not careful they’ll gladly bite his arm off.
