**Title:** Feeding and Handling Exotic Animals at a Zoo
**Summary:**
* The zoo owner feeds various animals, including large catfish, alligators (Darth and Gomer), and possibly others (off-camera).
* During feeding, one of the alligators (Gomer) unexpectedly jumps out of its enclosure, prompting the owner and his assistant (Juliet) to carefully guide it back in without stressing it out.
* The owner explains why they don't feed these animals during open hours (safety and crowd control) and highlights the importance of animal enrichment and exercise.
* He also mentions future zoo plans, including designing enclosures for safer animal movement.
* The video ends with a note on the importance of professional handling, as these animals can be destructive if not managed properly, and are even illegal in some areas (like California) due to their invasive species status.
