tell unless they're really big so
8:56
females won't get over like 9 10 ft top

just walking down Central floorida
18:13
Parkway really someone found them just
18:15
walking so that means someone released
18:16
them
18:23
wow that is so cool all right this is
18:23
interesting so I've always kind of
18:24
wanted to know so over here is
18:26
Pops from the world Most Interesting Man
18:29
TV commercials but also I often wonder
18:33
if the Gators from Indiana Jones and the
18:36
Temple of Doom if any of them were left
18:39
over because they came out here to film
18:41
the scene the drawbridge scene when the
18:43
the guys drop into the water and the
18:45
Gators are like you know taking care of
18:47
business I often wondered since they
18:50
filmed that out here I got the b-roll
18:52
any of those gators were still alive and
18:53
evidently
18:54
pops is in the second Indiana Jones film
18:57
I always wondered if any of those gators
18:59
were still living I guess pops over
19:01
there was in an indie film wonder if he
19:04
met Harrison Ford maybe he got a photo
19:06
with
19:14
Harrison yeah true story Gatorland was
19:14
using the second Indie
19:23
pump Rodney Dangerfield Tupelo trees
19:23
like this one get no respect I guess
19:26
that's a Tupelo tree
19:38
way I thought maybe something on the
19:38
sign would say that they originated in
19:39
near Tupelo Mississippi where I was born
19:42
I didn't see anything on there about the
19:44
tupo
19:50
tree this is the swamp walk they call it
19:50
just a peaceful walk
19:57
through it's a new crocodile enclosure
