Took the family to a small family-owned zoo. Also touched an alligator. All the animals can be hand fed. Grilled some hamburgers and hand fed myself, too.

      While they can’t be domesticated, they can be tamed. Also it’s stupid easy to hold their jaws shut. Like a 5 or 6 year old kid would have the strength to keep their jaws shut. I agree with you though. I wouldn’t get near the tame ones when I went to a gator farm in Florida. I still maintain that place is a front for the mob.

          I don’t actually remember the name. Gatorland sounds familiar though. This was almost 30 years ago now, and I was 15 at the time. It was in the panhandle near Tallahassee, on a scout trip

          Gatorland is pretty cool, and relatively affordable compared to other Orlando attractions.

          It’s basically a zoo specializing in Florida animals.
