it is essential to the natural habitat

I fall that stuck
3:56
he'd probably walk right on top of me
3:58
come get the meat up my hand and
4:01
probably take my hand
4:02
give me kisses
4:28
from what I've seen and they get on the
4:28
nest and they protect the nest if you
4:30
get too close to the nest and yeah
4:31
they'll go ahead and grab you because
4:33
but that's what they're trying to
4:34
protect is the next Gators grin

6:14
completely missing the boat on us some
6:16

forget about the turtle
6:41
Panther deer wolves directly down this
6:41
trail I'm being serious no for real no
6:46
kidding
6:48
slightly intimidating
6:57
he's Fowler just looming everywhere not
6:57
only on the posts but ah I was coming
7:04
over the fence I totally thought it was
7:06
covered over the beds there is a wolf
7:11
it's ok wolf don't mind our panicking
7:15
we're new we're kind of we're kind of
7:17
new to the buzzards circling around our

noggins I count about a baker's dozen up
7:54
there perched give or take one or two

but that's that's about how many I'm
7:58
seeing I just realized what the mistake
8:00
is I have a bag of food right the best
8:07
option is to stay on the boardwalk no

sewers coming out into the city New York
10:30
what's the Gator what's this Gators name
10:33
Alison Alison once it balls up it has
10:42
what looks like larger eyes and a larger
10:45

10:53
the ball python there oh yeah much
10:56
smaller than what it looks like once it
10:59
falls up because once it balls up it
11:03

11:06
would just go straight in her mouth up
11:07
here yep just go straight down oh my god
11:13
she felt threatened in any way shape or
11:15
form she would not have her head out
11:17
like that she wasn't gonna watch she
11:19
would tuck it away and stick her tail up
11:21
because the tails gonna be the first
11:22
thing that she's gonna want something to
11:24
attack and what would what would get her
11:26
to strike her to fight she would have to
11:29
be super super hungry or you'd have to
11:31
just sit there and keep getting older
11:34
she's getting friendly so she's not
11:37

Gators indigestion

18:59
sign is covered in that algae and water
19:02
and kind of make out what it's trying to
