The impressive video showing two alligators that love being petted is leaving the internet speechless!

The clip, shared on Instagram, shows a reptile zoo caretaker introducing Gomer and Darth, two alligators that love to get a good scratch under their chins.

“These two alligators have so much personality, it’s really remarkable. See why people call them swamp babies?” says the caption of the clip.

“Although these two are definitely anomalies in how alligators behave, I wouldn’t try [doing] this with wild ones,” the caretaker warned.

Since it was shared on January 14, the video has accumulated over 1.2 million views and hundreds of comments from internet users who were amazed by the scene.

“You can only do this if you know the animal’s behavior,” warned one Instagram user. “So cute,” commented another. “She’s brave,” wrote a third user. “Two precious friends,” said another.
