As another past Florida nuisance trapper, it actually does work, while. You still need to catch and remove them it’s mostly calling them and showing you are a non threat until they least expect it and then they are easy to catch or contain

I love that he pointed out how solid the croc from Lake Placid looked and it was very solid. The croc in that film was built by Stan Winston and his studio true legends in the industry some of the best practical effects have come from that studio alone.
@@deviant20 Yup, sure did. There's a treasure trove of videos from Stan Winston's studio working on all the dinos here on UA-cam. I think I've watched them all at least once or twice! 😆 Iirc, there's a video on the Lake Placid croc, too. Great channel if you enjoy special effects/prop making. 😊
@@bekleedee Agreed! It's incredibly well made and lifelike- and huuuuge! Crocodiles are my favorite animal, and I desperately want to hold a baby, but even I would stay well clear of such a monstrous croc. 🤣
The things that tape is used for that have nothing to do with electricians lol. Irish dancers use that tape on their shoes all the time (honestly probably more than electricians use it lmao). I want to call it alligator tape now.
He does point out that, historically, there WERE ones that big. 80 million years ago there was Deinosuchus: a crocadilian that could be over 10 meters long that lived in modern day USA and Mexico. So the only thing he is pointing out as unrealistic is that it is out of place by a geological blink of the eye.
Used to do a lot of field research. Bull, tiger, great white sharks, no problem. The moment we saw a salt water crocodile, we evacuated immediately. Metal tank in the water, banging like crazy. I used to work with king cobras, pit vipers, etc. you NEVER mess with a salt water crocodiles. Evacuate the water, get 10 meters away from shore, wait multiple days to enter the water again
Sounds like you have a very fun job, are you a biologist? Would you say because of the temperament they’re more dangerous or is it because they’re willing to fight you more than the others?
@@immapopcha I used to do a lot of underwater (SCUBA) research in very remote areas of Indonesia, just for fun as a scientific volunteer. Salt water crocs were always around but rarely caused issues. I always dived with a spear in case I needed to give a poke. I saw one once on a dive and it was surreal. We immediately left the water and monitored it from our boat. Sharks at least are fairly docile, crocs don't think twice
Bull, great white, oceanic whitetip, mako and tiger sharks are not docile. They’re active apex predators. They simply don’t normally view humans as prey because we don’t fit their criteria. Saltwater crocodiles on the other hand have their meals mostly made up of terrestrial animals. If you were a seal or a sea turtle, for example, you’d probably be thinking the other way around, or at least thinking neither one is a better option than the other. “Docile” is quite a stretchy word there. Edit: It may also be worth mentioning bull sharks are the only ones out of those who are somewhat designed to have a decent portion of terrestrial animals as part of their diet since they are more or less as much a shallow water predator as they are an open ocean one, and that is therefore the reason why we tend to view them as the most aggressive shark species from our perspective, and that is also why they will have the capacity to perceive you as prey without even being desperately hungry. Though this is still not to the extant of a saltwater or nile crocodile.
@@Brandon-br7tc I think they meant docile in the sense that they're least likely to be a concern compared to saltwater crocs. Each of those shark species may get curious, but are rarely a threat, and will usually go on their business (yes, even bull sharks). Saltwater crocs though, they WILL actively hunt a person, just about anything they can take down is fair game to them.
10:36 I like how what he says here applies to the movie, Lake Placid, as well. The gator started attacking people because it was fed by a woman for most of its life and it got used to associating people with food.
@@FloraWest Lake Placid is a guilty pleasure movie for me. I enjoy it _much_ more than I should, but that's ok! 😂 Crocodiles are my favorite animal. 😊
That stunt in Live and Let Die was done for real at a real crocodile farm by the owner dressed as Bond. The last one in that sequence nicked him on the ankle and he barely escaped with his life. 10 out of 10.
Yes, Ross Kananga was the stunt guy. The crocs feet were tied but their mouths were unrestrained. So in real life no it's almost impossible, but yes the crocs were real and Kananga made several attempts before success. I believe he was also nicked by a croc and required stitches. Surely an 8/10.
Funny thing about that movie... it was rated "PG", but by today's standards would be PG-13 given the amount of gore. They drew the line with actually showing props getting ripped apart by crocs lol.
Here’s how to tell if there is an alligator in the water in Florida. First go touch the water. Is the water wet? If so, there’s definitely an alligator in there.
fun fact: the scenes in "Live and Let Die" (clip at 10:15) were shot an the crocodile farm of Ross Kananga, who did run across real animals, although they were tied down by their feet. He had to do the stunt 5 times until everything was right
Watch "Roar" from 1981. The most dangerous movie ever made. Camera man, director, actors etc. were injured in that movie. It's also the most expensive homemade movie ever made.

My grandparents lived next to a golf course in Florida. We would see gators on the course all the time. They were just chilling there next to the water, basking in the sun. They were never a threat to anybody except small dogs.
I was in FL a couple weeks ago and came across my first alligator in the wild at the Merritt Island refuge. Roughly 8 feet, right in our path. After about a minute of waiting it thrust itself into the water. Unbelievable fast. I'm very glad we waited and didn't attempt to pass it.

Alligator 1980 has one of the most disturbing scenes for me where two kids take their little brother to a diving board in their pool at a kids party at night to make their little brother walk the plank, and at the last minute, the pool light gets turned on and the little kid sees the gator under the water with his mouth open and before he can fully scream his brothers not seeing it, push him in and he gets eaten whole. Still haunts me.
Stan Winston studios did lake placid. Most of you will know his work from little known films like Aliens, Terminator 1&2, Jaws, Star wars, and the Jurassic Park franchise
My brother worked in the movie industry and I was able to watch a copy of the original Lake Placid before the effects were inserted. I remember the part where Betty White was going to feed the crocodile and where the crocodile was to go there were large white letters spelling "Place Big Croc Here" 😂
"I dont care if your Wolverine your not putting a knife through that things skull plate" Well you see the crazy part with that is Wolverine doesn't care either and his "Knives" WILL definitely go through.
I’m watching this on my couch in my fourth-floor apartment, and I just put my feet up on the couch, because I’m worried there’s an alligator underneath. Not only am I inside and upstairs, but I live in Australia where we don’t even have alligators!!! This was great, really fun to watch and very informative.
You live in Australia and you feel relief knowing that ALLIGATORS aren’t there?! You’ve got a real messed up sense of danger if you’re scared of gators and not literally any of the other million things in Australia that will kill you in excruciating ways.
There's behind the scenes footage of the stuntperson doing the Live & Let Die stunt. They are real Crocodiles but had their feet tied to the floor. He did it 5x and fell in on a few. It's on UA-cam as "LIVE AND LET DIE (1973) Crocodile Jump Attempts (Behind the Scenes)"
I’ve only seen the clip of him sprinting after the guy on flat open Savannah. That’s still one of the most ridiculous moments from a (not Syfy channel) creature feature I’ve seen. I know they can run short distances, but not like that

Just a small correction about Crocodiles in India, on the west coast there are marsh crocodiles (the part he missed). Mainly found in lakes and rivers. While on the east coast there are the huge salties. While the Gharial are mainly found in the Ganges.
Ha! While I don't like finding out cool experts were wrong in statements they'd seems sure about... I love the comment section for teaching me even more!
Most of this sounds legit, except for one thing: Everyone knows the best way to cross a river is by hopping quickly from crocodile to crocodile. I used to do it in Pitfall all the time back when I had an Atari.
While I am not sure if George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and/or any film consultants or production crew that they had consciously intended this parallel, I think the "crocodiles" depicted in the film are supposed to be mugger crocodiles (the third unmentioned species of crocodilian in the Indian subcontinent that somewhat resembles the American alligators from the St. Augustine Alligator Farm that were actually used for that film sequence).
I’m glad he acknowledged the inaccuracy of alligators in Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom. That’s always bugged me. However, he forgot to mention mugger crocodiles as an accurate species found in India. And muggers do attack humans for food.
Yeah to hear the backstory of Temple of Doom and that Lucas and Spielberg had a couple who had "been to India" and they wrote and based a ton of stuff in the script off that, only to hear years later that people in India were so pissed at those two because the film was so in accurate it outright offended people in India is no surprising to hear they couldn't get the crocs right.
@@JBrotsis1 Alligators are found in India, in zoos. Most of the insects from the bug room weren't local to India either. His critique was that gators aren't Indigenous and that only kept ones fed like that. It makes perfect sense that this filthy rich death cult imported some exotic dangerous animal to stock their moat with and fed them regularly from their supply of dead slaves. The Rancor wasn't Indigenous to Tatooine either.
I wonder if, in Crocodile Dundee, they were trying to depict going for the quarter sized kill spot (the gap between the skull and C1 vertebrae)? With how thick the neck is, it can be hard to tell exactly where the head ends and the neck begins.
The fact that there was an alligatoroid that existed that was larger than even the animatronic used in lake placid scares me more than just thinking about it. Luckily though, it lived 66 million years ago, it's name was *Deinosuchus*
When I moved from Florida to Wyoming in 2000, I kinda' underestimated how much I'd miss my swamp puppy friends. Spent a lot of time in the water with them, and only once did I feel unsafe. That was when I was clearing a fouled prop on a pontoon boat one night in chest-deep water, and a big fella' (eyes were at least a foot apart) was cruising right towards me...closest thing to levitation I've ever managed!
@@peggedyourdad9560 The crawl one would have been real if they had actually told him that the nest was in the basement at that moment because gators and crocs are very protective of the nests. It doesn't say anything about it being out of context. They actually do this alot with films get a so called expert in for realism then don't tell them the actual context of the clip which makes them look like fools when it does show realistic behaviour.
This guy tells information the way I wished I had been taught in school. "Yeah it's scary, so first be afraid, use that to fuel your caution, now here's what it can and can't do."
Most unrealistic thing about Lake Placid was the location of the lake being way too cold of an environment for an animal, like a croc, to survive and grow that big.
I couple of things. He totally missed the most common crocodile in India the marsh or Mugger crocodile which does have a alligator like snout and attacks a lot of people in India. As to running across crocodiles like was done in Live and Let die. The stunt man really did do it and it took more than one take but in the wild in a no controlled set up I would agree.
He's also far, far too underestimating about the potential aggression of alligators in the wild. This is a common thing with people who are exposed to animals, they get complacent. Alligators do kill people all the time, and they also death roll them when they want to.
@hellcatdave1 Bro has dealt with more gators than anyone you know and this man is a go to in Florida for relocating and educating in the area. You know nothing. Go back to your recliner.

There was a case last year in QLD Australia where I believe it was a 5m or 6m saltie attacked a man’s fishing boat and got him overboard and took him. When they found his boat which was completely metal there were massive bite marks all over it and they eventually found the croc and euthanised it to find the man’s limbs. Salties are a different breed here in northern Australia
and 'of COURSE': the D___tcensors' habits strike it up. again. feh. just trying to share Some type of my agreements to you, kelly. if you were able to see my first comment's in here just now anyways...?

Love this dude lol I live in Pensacola Florida and we absolutely have jackasses who love to toss wildlife food not realizing the damage they’re doing. More vids with this dude plz! 😂
I wish you guys would have done rogue as well. It’s my 2nd favorite Giant croc movie behind Lake Placid. And the croc was done accidentally and the behaviors are all realistic. I think that would have been his favorite if they reviewed it.
These videos are so great. We all know these are made for entertainment and movies shouldn't be taken too seriously, but they're great for education of the real life aspects on a topic.
I like this guy going along with fantastical movie crocodiles like Lake Placid..I seen some others say while rating it that "oh no crocodiles could be that big,it's not realistic" but this man just goes "Yeah if they were that big they could do all that is depicted here".
What I learned from this is: If I am face to face with a croc or gator, I just need to have a conversation with it.

Dismiss them for what? At the end if the day they're all professionals in their field.
@@malikevans2615 He doesn't dismiss this kind of videos. He's doing it to get thumbs up and it worked for some reason
My brother worked in the movie industry and I was able to watch a copy of the original Lake Placid before the effects were inserted. I remember the part where Betty White was going to feed the crocodile and where the crocodile was to go there were large white letters spelling "Place Big Croc Here" 😂
If you ever feel like you messed something up, just remember "Loki" had a better score than EIGHT of these movies.
That's because Loki used a real gator, while others used graphics and practical effects (except for Indiana Jones, who just filmed gators in zoo)
Temple of Doom got shafted. He was wrong about that one.
@@WookieRookie Nope. That gator was fully CG.
Why?
@@anirudhmenon4234 it is real. His name is Wally
"I dont care if your Wolverine your not putting a knife through that things skull plate"
Well you see the crazy part with that is Wolverine doesn't care either and his "Knives" WILL definitely go through.
Took me way too long to find this comment 😂
They would go through if the Hulk was stabbing them with Wolverine's arm. Wolverine doesn't have super strength.
'yes'. just like the Majority's Typicalities....
Feh.
I love that the Marvel Studios alligator wearing a horned crown is one of the most realistic depictions of alligators here
Insider, your videos with experts is such a treat! Thanks!
I love the passive aggressive energy when something is very unrealistic
I’m watching this on my couch in my fourth-floor apartment, and I just put my feet up on the couch, because I’m worried there’s an alligator underneath.
Not only am I inside and upstairs, but I live in Australia where we don’t even have alligators!!!
This was great, really fun to watch and very informative.
I mean we have crocs lol, I was sad they didn't cover rogue tho, its my fav saltie movie
Saltwater crocodiles are bigger and more aggressive than alligators
You live in Australia and you feel relief knowing that ALLIGATORS aren’t there?! You’ve got a real messed up sense of danger if you’re scared of gators and not literally any of the other million things in Australia that will kill you in excruciating ways.
@@cassidywoodliffthat’s only if you mess with them, most city people in australia will go for years without seeing a ‘dangerous’ animal
There's behind the scenes footage of the stuntperson doing the Live & Let Die stunt. They are real Crocodiles but had their feet tied to the floor. He did it 5x and fell in on a few. It's on UA-cam as "LIVE AND LET DIE (1973) Crocodile Jump Attempts (Behind the Scenes)"
Really wish he would of reviewed Rogue (2007), that to me is my favorite crocodile movie.
How dare he diss crocodile dunde he’s a legend 🤣🤣
This guy really knows his stuff, but I was really hoping to see him react to Primeval and talk about Gustave.
I’ve only seen the clip of him sprinting after the guy on flat open Savannah.
That’s still one of the most ridiculous moments from a (not Syfy channel) creature feature I’ve seen.
I know they can run short distances, but not like that
@@FlyingFocs gustav was known to hunt on land and run down his prey. he pulled sleeping people out of huts at night a few miles from water. He was/is very unique
Just a small correction about Crocodiles in India, on the west coast there are marsh crocodiles (the part he missed). Mainly found in lakes and rivers. While on the east coast there are the huge salties. While the Gharial are mainly found in the Ganges.
Ha! While I don't like finding out cool experts were wrong in statements they'd seems sure about... I love the comment section for teaching me even more!
Are marsh crocodiles the same as muggers?
@@FlyingFocs Yep, they're the same.
Most of this sounds legit, except for one thing: Everyone knows the best way to cross a river is by hopping quickly from crocodile to crocodile. I used to do it in Pitfall all the time back when I had an Atari.
The animal that they’re supposed to show in the Temple of Doom is the Indian Mugger crocodile. It’s the most common crocodile species found in India.
Yea, he's obviously not an expert on old world crocodilians. Many of them are communal feeders.
While I am not sure if George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and/or any film consultants or production crew that they had consciously intended this parallel, I think the "crocodiles" depicted in the film are supposed to be mugger crocodiles (the third unmentioned species of crocodilian in the Indian subcontinent that somewhat resembles the American alligators from the St. Augustine Alligator Farm that were actually used for that film sequence).
This dude is the best you've had on ever for this series. Just tells it like it is. Straight up no BS
8:57 "i don't care if you're Arnold Schwarzenegger in your prime, you're not getting away with doing that..." 😂
I’m glad he acknowledged the inaccuracy of alligators in Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom. That’s always bugged me. However, he forgot to mention mugger crocodiles as an accurate species found in India. And muggers do attack humans for food.
Yeah to hear the backstory of Temple of Doom and that Lucas and Spielberg had a couple who had "been to India" and they wrote and based a ton of stuff in the script off that, only to hear years later that people in India were so pissed at those two because the film was so in accurate it outright offended people in India is no surprising to hear they couldn't get the crocs right.
There is nothing inaccurate about them.
@@redrick8900 nothing inaccurate about what? The alligators? Alligators aren’t found in India. Only America and China.
@@JBrotsis1 Alligators are found in India, in zoos. Most of the insects from the bug room weren't local to India either. His critique was that gators aren't Indigenous and that only kept ones fed like that.
It makes perfect sense that this filthy rich death cult imported some exotic dangerous animal to stock their moat with and fed them regularly from their supply of dead slaves.
The Rancor wasn't Indigenous to Tatooine either.
I wonder if, in Crocodile Dundee, they were trying to depict going for the quarter sized kill spot (the gap between the skull and C1 vertebrae)? With how thick the neck is, it can be hard to tell exactly where the head ends and the neck begins.
The fact that there was an alligatoroid that existed that was larger than even the animatronic used in lake placid scares me more than just thinking about it. Luckily though, it lived 66 million years ago, it's name was *Deinosuchus*
82-73 million years ago*
@@mandator_iv damn, I was way off
Your mind cannot comprehend a 1 million years. So it wants that long ago.
You just made THE BEST baby alligator call I've ever heard!! It's so cute watching babies calling their mommy!❤
This was the rating video I did not know I wanted to see - thanks for this.
When I moved from Florida to Wyoming in 2000, I kinda' underestimated how much I'd miss my swamp puppy friends. Spent a lot of time in the water with them, and only once did I feel unsafe. That was when I was clearing a fouled prop on a pontoon boat one night in chest-deep water, and a big fella' (eyes were at least a foot apart) was cruising right towards me...closest thing to levitation I've ever managed!
Did no one tell him that the crocs nest was down in the basement in Crawl 😂
I love how they do these things yet miss out some of the key information.
It's because he's just reacting to out-of-context clips from movies and not the movie itself.
@@peggedyourdad9560 The crawl one would have been real if they had actually told him that the nest was in the basement at that moment because gators and crocs are very protective of the nests.
It doesn't say anything about it being out of context.
They actually do this alot with films get a so called expert in for realism then don't tell them the actual context of the clip which makes them look like fools when it does show realistic behaviour.
>I see this man is an "Alligator Expert" but what are his credentials?
>He's from Florida.
Okay, he's legit.
Also the guy's beard just makes me think "yeah, that's a guy who wrangles alligators in Florida."
@@Kitchensink108 100%
why does he keep calling saltwater crocodiles alligators?
This guy was a lot more critical than others guested on this channel. I liked him honestly!
I feel like this guy has a bias toward his favourite animal.
I'm surprised he didn't talk about Gustav, from Primeval.
There was a croc in Darwin Harbour that kept attacking boats, they believed it was the motor, that it sounded like a male croc bellowing a challenge.
Favorite video so far as a Floridian myself
I like how he just randomly strokes his beard :)
Helps ya think 😅
I was really hoping the Ace Ventura clip of him wrestling an alligator came up. 🤣🤣🤣
Great video and awesome guest !
This guy tells information the way I wished I had been taught in school.
"Yeah it's scary, so first be afraid, use that to fuel your caution, now here's what it can and can't do."
I’m going to call it alligator tape instead of electrical tape from now on 😂
This made me want to watch lake placid again.
The clip from IJATTOD was the perfect use of the Wilhelm Scream, given the original title of the sound clip was “Man Eaten By Crocodile”.
Steve wouldve loved to appear on a series like this, R.I.P
It's so good to hear real experts tell people how it is!!! I actually learned something new, so thank you very much!! This was so informative!!! :)
I learned a lot thank you Lake Placid is one of my favorite movies
Most unrealistic thing about Lake Placid was the location of the lake being way too cold of an environment for an animal, like a croc, to survive and grow that big.
I couple of things. He totally missed the most common crocodile in India the marsh or Mugger crocodile which does have a alligator like snout and attacks a lot of people in India. As to running across crocodiles like was done in Live and Let die. The stunt man really did do it and it took more than one take but in the wild in a no controlled set up I would agree.
He's also far, far too underestimating about the potential aggression of alligators in the wild. This is a common thing with people who are exposed to animals, they get complacent. Alligators do kill people all the time, and they also death roll them when they want to.
@hellcatdave1 Bro has dealt with more gators than anyone you know and this man is a go to in Florida for relocating and educating in the area. You know nothing. Go back to your recliner.
@@hellcatdave1I think he's like those people who take bee's nests out of houses.
Like you see these videos and they walk into someone's garage and there is 10,000 bees. The person is wearing a t shirt and digging through the hive to find the queen. The bees stay perfectly calm
@@hellcatdave1 "Alligators do kill people all the time"
Gators almost never kill people. Check in on reality.
Holy spirit of Sobek. Great line!
I like that he has conversations with the alligators
There was a case last year in QLD Australia where I believe it was a 5m or 6m saltie attacked a man’s fishing boat and got him overboard and took him. When they found his boat which was completely metal there were massive bite marks all over it and they eventually found the croc and euthanised it to find the man’s limbs. Salties are a different breed here in northern Australia
Nah, this guy is awesome. Great vid
Such a cute but Dangerous dinosaur
Surprised romancing the stone wasn't on this list. Would've loved to hear the commentary on that one
I wish you could post pictures in the comments. The intense head tilt stare my dog gave me after he made the gator noise 😂😂😂
Mine too!
'-if you could post pictures in the comments.-'.
'welcome' to these Di_ktcensors' Dens still these Days. Unfortunately, man.
and 'of COURSE': the D___tcensors' habits strike it up. again.
feh. just trying to share Some type of my agreements to you, kelly.
if you were able to see my first comment's in here just now anyways...?
....
be advised: this site's. being a Bully again.
if you see those replies from me just now anyways, kelly?
(alright the THIRD sent works this time).
Haha the Wilhelm scream at 7:24
I like this dude. I learned a lot from this video 👍👍
Love this guy’s beard 🧔♂️
Wow, he can make the exact same sound I’ve heard baby crocs/gators make 🐊
I did see an alligator once in the everglades. they are surprisingly neurotic and lazy creatures who just want to be left alone most of the time. a far cry from the fearsome beast we make them out to be...
You gotta be a little jealous though. Imagine getting to just float around with your little stubby legs hanging out all day.
So cool! Thank you, Mr. Robb!
Really enjoyed this video a lot! Little surprised that when you mention crocodiles in India, that you didn't include the Mugger.
Very cool! Alligator wrangler, what an amazing job!!
That's ALLIGATOR BABY TALK..
Love this dude lol I live in Pensacola Florida and we absolutely have jackasses who love to toss wildlife food not realizing the damage they’re doing. More vids with this dude plz! 😂
I wish you guys would have done rogue as well. It’s my 2nd favorite Giant croc movie behind Lake Placid. And the croc was done accidentally and the behaviors are all realistic. I think that would have been his favorite if they reviewed it.
i was waiting for this video
I love how alligator Loki from the mcu is more realistic than most of these other movies man
....
snapmaw units.
These videos are so great. We all know these are made for entertainment and movies shouldn't be taken too seriously, but they're great for education of the real life aspects on a topic.
Can I have Frank as an uncle? I like Frank.
Alligator Rob! Chicago legend.
❤❤
Absolutely fantastic guest, love his cool but down to clown attitude and entertaining the possibility of "what if". Would love to see more of him.
I like this guy going along with fantastical movie crocodiles like Lake Placid..I seen some others say while rating it that "oh no crocodiles could be that big,it's not realistic" but this man just goes "Yeah if they were that big they could do all that is depicted here".
How did you not have him rate Primeval? One of the greats!
I'm so glad he gave "Alligator" (1980) an 8/10! That movie terrified me as a kid!
Any man in Florida not on drugs with a beard that long. Yeah you listen to him when he says don't mess with crocodile/alligators!
Great sense of humor
Peak expert amusing the hypotheticals and teaching so much so concisely. What an awesome guy
I actually love how actual professionals are also being interviewed and admired and it’s not just actors on these channels
