Ronilac oči u oči sa ogromnim krokodilom /video/

„Kada pliva prema meni, puštam mehuriće i on to oseća. Ponekad se spušta da se druži sa mnom! Ovaj put je legao preko mene“, napisao je Gilete na Instagramu.

Trenutak kasnije ronilac je bio licem u lice sa ogromnim gmizavcem kao da mu daje poljubac u njušku. Međutim, Gilete je pozvao svoje pratioce da nikada ne pokušavaju da ponove to što je on učinio.

I spent some time holding my breath on the bottom with Casper the alligator! When he swim over me I blow bubbles and he feels it, and sometimes he’ll come down to hang out with me some! This time he landed on me 😂 I’ve worked with Casper over 12yrs. He was not raised in captivity but is a rescued nuisance gator. Casper is a very calm and relaxed alligator and I know him and his behavior very well, but as always I remind everyone he is still a wild animal and an alligator, not a pet, and never try this on your own. Casper has never tried to attack me, but either way I’ve handled and caught wild alligators for over a decade and (hopefully)know how to handle situations if things go wrong, and they certainly do try when I’m out in the wild, never try this out on your own.

„Kao i uvek podsećam sve da je Kasper divlja životinja i krokodil, a ne kućni ljubimac. Kasper nikada nije pokušao da me napadne, ali ja se već dve decenije ’družim‘ sa krokodilima i znam kako da se ponašam u situacijama ako stvari pođu po zlu“, rekao je ronilac.

Video je snimljen u rezervatu za divlje životinje koji se nalazi na Floridi.
