[00:00:00]This [music] reptile doesn't chase.

[00:00:03]It waits.

[00:00:06]This is the American alligator.

[00:00:10]Before you see it, it has already felt you.

[00:00:15]Its jaw is covered in nearly 4,000 sensory receptors, more sensitive than a human fingertip.

[00:00:26]From above, it looks like a floating log.

[00:00:31]But it's already hunting.

[00:00:34]Every ripple in the water, every step near the shore, it feels it instantly.

[00:00:43]And it knows exactly where it came from.

[00:00:46]>> [music] >> The alligator doesn't move.

[00:00:50]It holds, perfectly still, waiting for the right moment.
