This guy works as a river/swamp tour guide who takes groups of people out in boats to see Florida wildlife. In less than a year, this guide has taught a large, completely wild alligator to swim to the boat and accept food from the tour guide. Its behaving in the opposite manner to what it's natural instincts would dictate, which would be to swim away from the boat at first sight. Thus proving that reptiles dont "operate" purely on instinct, they are capable of learning.

 
Btw: Theres an obvious typo in the OP, related to the length of the alligator. Its 12 feet long/FOUR meters, not 12'/3m...
