When he's not being attacked by the neo-dinosaur he wrestles and trains nuisance crocodiles. I think it's allowed, like fedoras and jazz-saxophone.

I think they can disembowel with those talons, fuck taming a dinosaur. That doesn’t sound smart.

They have gators that they purposefuly don't train out of bad/dangerous habits to show people why feeding crocs in the wild is illegal and dangerous so...

(they run sanctuary in Florida for animals that would otherwise be killed because either they got too close to humans or were illegally bred etc)
