ACES American Crocodile Education Sanctuary

At ACES / American Crocodile Education Sanctuary in Belize, Behaviorist Vince Rose has befriended a wild nine foot American Crocodile. After years of studying this particular croc, with hours upon hours of interacting to gain the animals trust, Vince can actually pet 'Mama Croc' like a dog. She even appears to enjoy it, always coming back for more. No food is used to attract the large reptile; and even if food is introduced, the croc will not take it but spits it back out or lets Vince literally take it out of her mouth (this can be seen in some of the other videos at ppinpg). Even though she appears tame, Vince is the only human who can approach this croc this closely. Please, Do Not try this at home.
