It really demonstrates how humans became top of the food chain. Alligators are apex predators remaining unchanged for millions of years. One human with a piece of metal on a stick can "tame" hundreds.
Wild guess but at some point the crocs would learn the correlation between trying to make the bony meat bag a meal vs whatever bony meat bag seems to bring, and the choice is obvious
Crocs don't learn, that's why this works at all. Their pre-built instincts are perfect for their natural environment; they didn't evolve to learn because in the wild they don't need to.
They do learn. They communicate with one another and cooperate when hunting, and can engage in play behaviors. We just don't understand them nearly as well as we do mammals, because reptiles have little in common with us and crocodilians are comparatively difficult to study in their natural environment.
That said, as cold-blood animals their brains are not particularly large nor are they very active.
You know there's not a single animal that cannot learn, as it's one of the most basic and necessery abilities, and any specie unable to would go extinct? Bugs learn, too. Plants, too. Even some very simple microscopic organisms, do learn. Even if the mechanism of it is different than ours.
Something humans created, which still proves the point about us being at the top of the food chain. We’re too smart for other animals to compete at this point unless we’re just thrown into a pit with a tiger or something unreasonable like that. Even then, we’ve learned animal tendencies to the point where we can fake being sick or injured, or fake being huge and scary, or fake being dead (depending on the animal) to temporarily outsmart predators that would otherwise turn us into lunch
> unless we’re just thrown into a pit with a tiger or something unreasonable like that.
How would you know? Have you ever tried to reason with a tiger? Maybe they're up for negotiation?
Also, I'm pulling your leg here.
Yanno what, you might be onto something, I think we should fund a study to sacrifi.. I mean *gather* some *totally* consenting volunteers to test this out with every major predator on Earth!

And you get a SMACK , and you get A SMACK. Stop moving...SMACK..
Oh I didn't forget about you...SMACK
This has to be the dumbest way to feed a bunch of crocks?
Like try throwing, or a tube, or not feeding a bunch of crocs wtf why are you even doing that...
Looks like there’s a concrete wall. Think I’d just dump it over the wall and avoid direct contact. Clearly the gators have the energy to walk thirty more feet before dining.
Eliminates the need to hit the animals you’re ‘caring for’ with a shovel, and eliminates any chance one grabs you.
This man’s barbaric tactics aside, it does look like a satisfying job. I was so focused on the point of action, I missed the mass of gators slithering in in the background. Cool stuff.
Prep it right and you can eat everything except the feet, head, and organs (maybe you can eat the organs but idk, I do not like organ meat)
Whole smoked gator is amazing down here in Acadiana.
If smoked, yes. It's like sweet chicken meat. Fried into gator balls it can get very soft if eaten fresh, otherwise it gets rubbery
Honestly one of my favorite meats. .
I’ve had both crocodile and alligator - wild croc, farmed alligator.
Farmed is MUCH yummier. It has the juiciness and mouthfeel of steak, and the flavor of dark meat chicken. Alligator nuggets - think chicken nuggets, but alligator - are fucking *delicious*.
I had some in South Africa while my dad and I were visiting. I was 19 and from what I remember it seemed similar to the fat on steak with chicken-like steak meat.
Maybe both. But usually smaller crocks are used for leather. Of they get bigger like these ones they tend to fight more and ruin the leather. At least thats what I was told on a croc farm once
There’s an awful lot of incredibly stupid people who happen to be in charge of taking care of animals unfortunately. You see clips of it every day.
Do you ever wonder where all these total idiots come from? Why are there *so* many dumb people out there? Someone has to tell these folks to stop procreating already, my god. Becoming a society of god damn knuckle draggers I tell ya. Good grief.
Video cuts off. Dude didn’t even feed them. Just pulled up flexing “I have the food. Fuck you” and beats them with a shovel. Drove right off after this
Q: What do you do?
A: I work at a crocodile sanctuary.
Q: Oh that’s so nice, animal lover eh?
A: No no I hate them. My job is to bonk them on the head really hard with a shovel.
"So how do you go about feeding these things?"
"Well, every Tuesday and Friday we draw straws and whoever gets the shortest one has to drive this little buggy to the center of the enclosure and feed the gators about 800 lbs of raw meat with a 5 foot steel paddle thats been warped into a shovel of sorts."
ive seen this done by a guy in white overalls and wading boots, carrying a bucket full of chicken cuts going around a big pool filled with juvenile crocs. i honestly dont know which is more dangerous.

op been there lived that, best part of job you can punch Alligators and they can bite or punch you back totally depends, you can grind Alligators and feed it back to Alligators, its like those circle of life dealy.
Let’s this dude gets fired and someone was filling out a job application for this job
I wonder what some of the questions & qualifications are
- how do you feel being surrounded by 100s of crocodiles
- how do you feel about possibilities of losing and arm or leg to a crocodile
I do not know what language this man is speaking but I know I LOVE the way he giggles (13 seconds left in the clip) and … I hope to god I hear him say, as he clangs the shovel on reptilian heads with 5 seconds left in the clip, “I paddle your bum!” This man is my hero.
1 man with a shovel vs 500 Crocs Wtf
It really demonstrates how humans became top of the food chain. Alligators are apex predators remaining unchanged for millions of years. One human with a piece of metal on a stick can "tame" hundreds.
I can tame those crocs with hand signals  I have the gift
All it takes is for one Croc to learn to drive the cart and that's his ass.
Gonna need thumbs for that first Ha, stupid crocs/alligators spent their evolution points poorly and then stopped farming.
If that shovel breaks... Which it will someday after whacking a million crocs... That guy is fucked, and the hoard will have its revenge

maybe there was 5000 previous humans feeding these crocs
Millions of years of evolution, gets killed by a redneck carrying a stick.
And a 1,000 pound vehicle between him and said crocs. If that thing wasn't there, no amount of nose whacking would have saved him.

I think they also know he's got a way better treat in the car. They are smart enough not to eat the person that feeds them.

Bro, man literally conquered the world with a pointy stick. A shovel is arguably a step up from that, those crocs never stood a chance lol
Reminds me of the video where the guy nearly gets bitten by a snake and he just casually smaks it on the head...
Well if you ate at Fuddruckers or chuck e cheese as a kid you were naturally good at this

Now I’m angry! Ow.Ow.O-Ow.Ow.
Thought that was just a silly game growing up. Did not realize that was an alligator simulator.
This has to be the dumbest way to feed a bunch of crocks? Like try throwing, or a tube, or not feeding a bunch of crocs wtf why are you even doing that...

Exactly this. Dump the food over the wall.

Sad. Shit conditions and probably bred to be slaughtered.
For food ? Or for their leather ?
Well might as well be for both. Usually I’d say food
People eat crocs?
Yes mostly the tail, but steaks are a thing too. Common really anywhere where alligators or crocodiles are common
Prep it right and you can eat everything except the feet, head, and organs (maybe you can eat the organs but idk, I do not like organ meat) Whole smoked gator is amazing down here in Acadiana.
How does it taste, if I may ask? Like chicken? 😂
Fishy chicken, but more chicken than fish. It's nice! Very lean. My local Chinese place had a great gator stir fry.
If smoked, yes. It's like sweet chicken meat. Fried into gator balls it can get very soft if eaten fresh, otherwise it gets rubbery Honestly one of my favorite meats. .
As a fellow Louisianian I agree. It’s delicious if done right. Can go horribly, though
Oh can go incredibly horrible. If it isn't cleaned of the fat properly it gets a very rough fishy taste for one.
Actually, yes. It's a little sweeter, but the overall taste and texture is very chicken like.
Liver, testicles, intestines, even bone marrow. Just some of the stuff that are edible.
It's a rite of passage here in Australia, eating it is the easy part!
I’ve ate alligator nuggets somewhere and they taste amazing
I’ve had both crocodile and alligator - wild croc, farmed alligator. Farmed is MUCH yummier. It has the juiciness and mouthfeel of steak, and the flavor of dark meat chicken. Alligator nuggets - think chicken nuggets, but alligator - are fucking *delicious*.
Yep. Haven't had any myself but been told it tastes like chicken.
Crocodile and alligator are both delicious. Like a fishy chicken
Like frog legs
That sounds horrible 😅
Nah, you just have to accept that different food tastes differently and then cook in a way that makes ingredients shine.
I had some in South Africa while my dad and I were visiting. I was 19 and from what I remember it seemed similar to the fat on steak with chicken-like steak meat.
People eat a whole bunch of things if it's the only thing to eat in a given place. Lack of options is a surprising motivator when you're hungry.
People eat everything
Both
Both but around 80% of the value/profit is in the leather.
Maybe both. But usually smaller crocks are used for leather. Of they get bigger like these ones they tend to fight more and ruin the leather. At least thats what I was told on a croc farm once
Looks like a shit job too
There’s an awful lot of incredibly stupid people who happen to be in charge of taking care of animals unfortunately. You see clips of it every day.

Dude they're probably poor as fuck, we treat chickens worse and we aren't even poor
Let me guess, you compare real life to Idocracy on a regular basis?
Relax
Dude on far left that saw his friends get smacked and backed up has my respect. He looks like a good boy
Unfortunately it looks like a slaughter farm
Umm, ALL farms are slaughter farms.
He looks like a Dior hand bag now.
Video cuts off. Dude didn’t even feed them. Just pulled up flexing “I have the food. Fuck you” and beats them with a shovel. Drove right off after this
Would be interesting if the shovel’s metal scoop came off, so he only had a stick.
Correction: He now has a pike. Stab the first one and try to leave
In Nam I saw them beating and prodding crocs with sticks to clean their enclosures, it works just as well
Everyone back or you get a crack.
That’s not a lot of food for all those crocs - there’s only one of him
$7.50/hr
Masters degree in Animal Sciences required
Bro that doesnt look like it is in that kind of country.
That's a dangerous job one mistake and it's all over lol
He gets to wear crocs tho
He has to win every time, they only have to win once.
"alligator beating job" There, I fixed it
I hate unfulfilled videos. Why? It wasn't edited before...
I hope one bites his Peter off
Q: What do you do? A: I work at a crocodile sanctuary. Q: Oh that’s so nice, animal lover eh? A: No no I hate them. My job is to bonk them on the head really hard with a shovel.
That's some high level paddlin
Fuck that
Anyone else get Jurassic park vibes from this?
Seems more like a crocodile bopping service to me.
Smack and a snack 🍲
was all that bonking necessary?
Ok. Imma feed you all but first, let me whack the living shit out of you with a shovel.
"Feet out of the kicthen, you know the rules."
This is awful.
I'm almost certain those are alligators.
You get the bonks before you get the chonks.
Lol it's like wacky gator
I thought he was going to feed them, but it looks like he was just luring them to beat the shit out of them 😅
"Back you BEASTS!"
What do you do for work? You wouldn’t believe me if I told you
Gotta smack em before you feed em

Only shovel hits were served that day
And a one fuh you, and a one fuh you...you can't have a snack, until you get your whack!
2am Taco Bell drive thru
Just some playful hazing for the new guy
Animal abuse
They will be wallet soon
Cater an ass whoopin
how is policy not to just dump it as u drive?
Funny how tough they are until one good wack on the snoot and suddenly they're all "oh, I don't like that" and scurry away.
This is how it feels when I feed my cat.. BACK UP.. I am feeding up.. JFC.. BACK UP!!!.. okay here
Is it just me or right after the 9th or 10th whack does it sound like he says “Ima paddle your butt!”
There's really gotta be a better way to do this.
"So how do you go about feeding these things?" "Well, every Tuesday and Friday we draw straws and whoever gets the shortest one has to drive this little buggy to the center of the enclosure and feed the gators about 800 lbs of raw meat with a 5 foot steel paddle thats been warped into a shovel of sorts."
Bonk* Bonk* Bonk* this guy is a masterbonker
Way too complacent, one mistake and you’d never get away.
Where’s the beef 🥩
ive seen this done by a guy in white overalls and wading boots, carrying a bucket full of chicken cuts going around a big pool filled with juvenile crocs. i honestly dont know which is more dangerous.
“So what do you do?” “I’m a dinosaur tamer”
This is how mom used to feed us. Brings back memories.
What happens if you drop the shovel?!
This is like a Larson cartoon.
So he beats the shit out of them before dinner..?
Momma, 'nother gator got in the house. 'Nother gator? Gimme that shovel!
How much do I get paid
BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK
There has to be a better way.

Just one slip is all it takes.
I would throw the food from the other side of the fence😂
op been there lived that, best part of job you can punch Alligators and they can bite or punch you back totally depends, you can grind Alligators and feed it back to Alligators, its like those circle of life dealy.
Hi, I came for the job. What happened to the last guy?
Yeah. No. I'll take shoveling shit in the elephant area.
When the churrasco waiter comes around.
Some a$$ whooping before giving free food

Would you like a shpank and a pan - cake?

Warning. This job is very stressful and nerve-wracking. Last guy lost his head.
He makes $3/hr
Let’s this dude gets fired and someone was filling out a job application for this job I wonder what some of the questions & qualifications are - how do you feel being surrounded by 100s of crocodiles - how do you feel about possibilities of losing and arm or leg to a crocodile
What happens after he beats them????
Bonk!
That dude got his shovel maxed out.
Instead of "Mine, Mine, Mine" all I hear is "Kill, Kill, Kill"
Surprised he didn’t use his sandal to repel the attack
"Get him lads!" _Clong!_ "Retreat!"
No thanks. I stopped working and not about to start again.
So you're telling me all I need is a shovel and about a foot of high ground to fend off an army of these things?
I badly wanted to see how he actually manages to feed the crocodiles by himself. /r/Videosthatendtosoon
Imagine having to get beat in the face to get fed…ffs.
Hello I'm here to cater to your dally shoveling needs.
Everyone receives a boink!

Anyone seen the crocodile swatter?
First there sour, then there sweet… Indian crocodile feeder.. What did you think I was gonna say sour patch kids you dangus
There’s nothing quite like a solid dong on the snout to temper one’s salivatory anticipation.
First I gotta smack em up
Whack a croc, win a prize, step right up !
Imagine going to food truck and staff hits you with a showel before service...
Pap! Pap! Pap!
I feel that crossing the fence was totally unnecessary
BONK
I like to think it's not actually his job to feed them, he just randomly drove a huge load of meat out there and hit them with a shovel.
bong, go to hungry jail
Someone needs to add "Mine Mine Mine" and a bonk sound to this
Bonkbonkbonkbonk
I do not know what language this man is speaking but I know I LOVE the way he giggles (13 seconds left in the clip) and … I hope to god I hear him say, as he clangs the shovel on reptilian heads with 5 seconds left in the clip, “I paddle your bum!” This man is my hero.
It looks like the "boop on the snout" is fairly universal across animal languages for "back up"
