Answer 4

Answer 5

Tame? Nope. But it is being found that they can be trained... Gatorland has been working on voice commands with their crocs and gators for quite a while now, and yep... they can recognize their name and will gladly come running after some positive reinforcement via treats for proper response. Usually running and snapping their jaws... the same process repeats itself with nuisance alligators all the time here in Florida... people go out on their dock and feed the fish, eventually a little gator starts coming up and either catching slow fish or getting food meant for the fish or just being fed directly, and next thing you know, the state's getting calls about "we can't go out on our dock without that alligator coming over and looking at us!"

Someone said in another answer to keep them well fed and they might not bite... that's a laugh, they'll still bite regardless of how well fed they are. They're not dogs, and even the best dog is capable of snapping at someone... there's millions of years of pure instinct in all crocodilians... we've only been captive breeding them for 30 years or so, nowhere near long enough to even PRETEND we've come any distance on the domestication front.

Answer 6

No. you can't train any wild animal even cats and dogs aren't all the way tame.

Answer 7

sure, if you have a death wish. they are wild animals and will always have that instinct.

Answer 8

nope. never.

Answer 9

no

Answer 10

Yes, sure.

If it starts acting angry, throw yourself into its mouth and it will calm down.

Who knows though... i'm guessing that there wouldn't be any point in taming one anyway because lets face it - even if you start every hour of every day training it, you'd still never turn your back on it or relax... so why bother?
