0:25
charge in existence since 1949 this
0:28
roadside attraction still going strong
0:31
lots of changes and developments over
0:35
that time period I've been here a number
0:36
of times but never in the rain
0:39
welcome everyone adam is the whoo here
0:42
that will change today however it is
0:46
moist damp and raining from the heavens
0:49
hence this massive umbrella that I am
0:54
holding but I will peek out from
0:55
underneath it just to show you that
0:58
mural as I make my way towards the
1:01
entrance join me show you don't worry
1:06
guests can not only be dropped off here
1:09
but also picked up too I always think of
1:14
the beginning credits sequence from
1:16
national lampoon's vacation the
1:19
postcards whenever I see this iconic
1:23
thing there are two options to walk
1:25
around or directly through its sharp
1:29
teeth and do its belly
1:42
these Gators eaters gonna go right my
1:42
gosh
2:36
I don't know if this tortoise needs any
2:36
more bananas let's see if he's still
2:38
still hungry
2:39
Oh gonna grab two of them one and a half
2:42
going in okay here's the other one here
2:46
that's all yours a little dessert there
2:50
he broke the stick he was quite an
2:53
appetite the size of that thing
2:57
that wasn't the only animal I'm gonna be
2:59
feeding I'm gonna head over to that
3:01
shoreline where they're splashing around
3:03
and feed these guys and gals some meat
3:07
they have their own way of telling the
3:09
weather based on this rock if you see
3:12
the chart if it's hot it's sunny if it's
3:16
cool it's cloudy if it's wet it's
3:18
raining and it's no longer wet which
3:22
means the clouds have stopped
3:26
pouring down water and you're aiming to
3:28
smack them right in the faces of meat
3:30
becomes crazy but when you get in here
3:33
you'll notice they have all these little
3:34
black dots along her lower jaw right if
3:36
their mouths disclosed you can hit them
3:38
in the face they're going to turn in
3:39
bite it instantly if you throw in it
3:41
lands on top of them or laying somewhere
3:43
around them like this without making a
3:44
splash they're not going to be able to
3:46
see it because their eyes are up on top
3:47
of their head it's the same line this is
3:49
our line right here okay folks when you
3:52
walk in this binge make sure you stay on
3:54
this side of the safety line at all
3:56
times if you go over the line what
3:59
happens
4:00
know what you're gonna get eating it
4:02
becomes life I will beat you with this
4:04
stick you can get close but don't get
4:08

4:12

4:30
forward all the little ones you just
4:32
want to it right near their face and
4:34

4:35
they have all those sensors they'll use
4:37
to grab that real quick I'm going for
4:38
the little is that a guy or a girl in
4:40
the corner tell you would have to probe
4:42
them and then remember what it was okay
4:44
there goes I would guess female but but
4:46
that's just cuz she looks cute you know
4:48
I was going on the top of the head is
4:50
where they're heavily protected because
4:52
they're constantly fighting each other
4:53
and biting each other there but each one
4:56
of those little black dots on the side
4:57
of the mouth is sensitive it's a
4:59
they know that I push try to get a one

5:37
when they get into their little
5:38
territorial disputes something you see a
5:40
lot more common in the wild but of the
5:42
250 Gators in this pen I think there's
5:44

7:45
how old I am at one with the birds the
7:51
bird whisperer Shh listen
7:54
whispering no gallery I'm the bird
7:57

8:07
really don't need to shut my feeder out
8:09
gotta stay planted for the safety of
8:12
them hello
8:14
haven't met you yet they really seem to
8:19
like this shoe my left foot
8:22
not the right to the right foots getting
8:25
no attention but the left shoe strings
8:28
seem to be infatuated with with them oh
8:39
my goodness I need you the time I threw
8:39
these morning's that would be very
8:41
helpful
8:45
I always think of Three's Company when I
8:52
see flamingos come in knock on our door
9:04
take a step that is new Oh a little
9:04
splashing over there I don't know if
9:06
there's some sort of ancient proverb
9:08
that states if you bring an umbrella
9:10
when it's raining it'll stop or if you
9:14
don't bring one it'll start but there
9:16
needs to be of course I could utilize it
9:19
by running through this water play area
9:23
but I don't think I'm going to
9:33
whatever you do do not sit in that pot
9:33
it would end badly
9:36
trust me stay away from the boiling pot
9:42
especially if you're a tourist first of
9:44
the history we are Central Florida's
9:47
oldest attraction started in 1949 oh wow
