He called them by name and they responded. He interacted with the gators to demonstrate how their reputation as mindless killers was ill-deserved. He was a knowledgeable herpetologist who had handled reptiles for years. This wasnt an act to show how daring he was. The man was in the enclosure with the gators. There was a short alligator show afterwards. There were many signs on the boat encouraging us to tip the driver. It was interesting to be out on the water, gliding over the grass.
