A video of an alligator getting food and getting “coffee” on the head has garnered attention on social media. Despite the cute moment, the biologist issued a warning.

A post posted on the biomosquito’s profile shows a man holding out a piece of meat from a reptile that is feeding and then standing still to receive a pat on the head.

“It’s not because the alligator has such scaly, hard and leathery skin that it’s not sensitive. That is, these animals can feel comfortable with a little caress. Apparently, this is a wild and very dangerous animal. Most likely, this guy has been talking to him for a long time, maybe years. So technically he was a trained animal,” he explains.

In addition, he warns that it is not recommended to take the same position as in the video, as there is a high chance of ending with a sad ending.
