About Brian Barczyk:
Brian Barczyk was a passionate wildlife enthusiast and vlogger who dedicated his life to sharing his extraordinary journey with animals on KZbin since May 10, 2016. His remarkable adventures led him to be part of TV network series, produce “Brian In The Wild” a documentary in South Africa, travel globally to encounter incredible animals and their advocates, initiate “Checking In” a podcast, establish “AnimalConUSA” a convention for animal content creators and their fans, and create The Reptarium - an interactive reptile zoo in Utica, Michigan, among many many other achievements.
In March 2023, Brian faced the greatest challenge of his life with a diagnosis of inoperable Pancreatic Cancer. His strength, courage, and the unyielding support of the incredible #ReptileArmy community inspired him to continue sharing his story and pursuing his dreams, even in the toughest times.
Brian's vision for the LegaSea Aquarium & The Reptarium, a symbol of resilience and the power of dreams, is now a legacy that his crew and family are devoted to bringing to life in his honor. As we break ground on this expanded facility just across the street from The Reptarium, we embrace this mission as a testament to Brian's indomitable spirit.
Join Brian's crew, family, and the #ReptileArmy in continuing this inspiring journey of discovery, conservation, and hope. As we vlog the LegaSea aquarium build, embark on adventures around the world, and deepen our connection with wildlife, we pay tribute to Brian's legacy. Together, we will forge a future where every encounter with the natural world is a moment to inspire, educate, and celebrate the extraordinary tapestry of life that Brian so loved.

[@radicalkeag]

Aw lori.. my heart goes out to her, i could just see it in her face when she was holding Mystic that she was thinking about Brian and how much he would have loved to see such a beautiful little gator again. Grief isn't easy, or pretty, and i really appreciate you all sharing your day-to-days with us. Ups and downs. Brian is so proud of you all i can feel it in my bones

[@jrewing1512]

Man Brian would've been so stoked about this. I can't imagine how hard this is for Lori that her love is not physically here with her. Noah is doing good job.

Man as a parent, hearing her say "id touch you but hands are dirty." Most respectful thing ever.

[@ferrisulf]

"I have a baby now." "Man...what did you do?" I couldn't stop laughing. The delivery on that response was just perfect. Love seeing everyone having fun together. And that precious moment getting to hold the leucistic gator. It was nice to hear a happy story of everyone reminiscing. Brian so loved Gatorland and everyone there. That's hilarious with poor Lyle the crocodile having a young gator infatuated with him 😆

[@kelvinjohnwaltho]

i love how savannah is so passionate about the alligators & crocs & how she is so open to meeting people she treats everybody the same as herself as though they know as much as herself absolutely amazing xxxx

[@gatorlandvlogs]

love u too

[@Aethuviel]

Gatorland is not a good place though. Overcrowded, poorly looked after, and the gator wrestling show is just plain abusive. Chasing around and manhandling a poor animal that definitely doesn't want to be there. Imagine if SeaWorld did that during their dolphin shows. But no one cares because crocodilians are seen as "vicious" so "they can take it".

[@mathewkinch3619]

Noah that impression of your dad sounded just like him ... Please rewatch so you can hear him come out of you

[@chubby_bissh]

Yes he did ❤

[@Khunai.]

Definitely cried right along with Lori while she held Mystic. What a great vlog, was nice to see Savannah and crew again! Awesome people, awesome place. Just like the Reptarium, and soon the Legasea!

[@bkm2797]

You made it to Gatorland, and Savannah is in the house,lol. The baby leucistic gator is a beauty with those big blue eyes, reminds me of the one we have here at the Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, baby blues as well. So nice to see all of you together. Thanks for taking us along, can't wait for part2. Hope everyone has a Great Day!🐊❤️👍

[@scorpio663]

🤗🐊 Glad you all are having a great time at Gatorland !! So many memories to relive there . I can just see Brian's excitement and hear his laughter . It's ok to cry Lori . You two were a perfect match and created such wonderful memories together that we will all remember so well . Like you said the other day , " its gonna be sweet but hard re visiting Gatorland ." Have fun tomorrow. 👍❤️😇

It just makes my heart break for you guys.But I'm so happy to see yall having fun and continuing on not only his legacy but all of yours as well in what you want to do in life!!!!

When, “ be kind to someone and I will see you in the next one”, hits different 😢 💔💔.

[@loriw2661]

I remember standing next to Brian, after both AnimalCons, while he was throwing chicken to the gators. All of a sudden, at the after party in 2023, he turned to me, handed me the chicken and said, “Here, you do it”. I’ll never, ever forget that. He gave me a big hug and said, “You got it on the first try. Great job, Lori!” I’m sure he remembered my name just because it’s the same as Lori’s but it made me feel so damn good. Miss him so, so much!🐊🐊❤️💔

[@teaghanrichards5555]

Can someone tell me what happened, if anything, to RJ the alligator? I slipped off the vlog train about 1.5 years ago and just got back on about 9-10 months ago but haven't heard anything about him since. Did they rehome or did he pass on? Is he still there?!

[@Letha-Letherr]

Noah, when you said you don't deserve to hold the leuci gator because you were just born into your name..Babe, you're wrong. You did more than earn it, and not only that, your dad gave it to you. He also gave YOU this entire vlog, the army, and all of his passionate dream.. I understand that the last year has probably been HEAVY, overwhelming, overbearing, and maybe even feels like too much...especially now...and all of those things can be true at the same time that it's true we see you pulling through on our end. We see Noah Barczyk showing up every day (except Monday and Thursday hehe), we see your baby and Gabby with you which means dad is always there, we see you learning and hearing us (like mentioninging we need more education in the videos, I've noticed that has been asked for recently), I can go on and on. I'm sure that we don't even know a fraction of anything in your life because we're just here for clips of it that you choose to show us...and what I am seeing is a Barczyk doing Barczyk things in the true-to-Barczyc way the best he can. So yeah, I'd say you've earned it...so go hold that d4mn gather! On a different note - these adventure videos could DEFINITELY be 20 minutes, or specials, even - I LOVE them, always have. Savannah is SO PASSIONATE and absolutely in love with what she does and the Barczyk family and reptile army. There's always so much fun at Gatlorland! Gosh, I know we're all REALLY missing Brian more than ever right now...I expected to cry today, and I wasn't disappointed. I love you guys and the reptile army so much. Thank you for giving me better days, I'll never forget Brian -- he truly helped save my life more than once (now I'm crying again lol)

[@gatorlandvlogs]

I agree 100%

Excellent Vlog guys.

[@BigBroThunder]

Hey Noah, I just wanted to say that the strength you have shown over the last year or so is incredible. What you and your family have had to go through is unimaginably tough. Yet, you have continued to keep Brian's vision of The Legasea and the channel moving forward. My dad was just diagnosed with cancer last week. He is supposed to be starting chemo in the next week. I have all the hope and belief that he is going to beat this. I just wanted to ask you a few questions to prepare myself for the journey my family is just beginning. You don't have to answer these if you don't want to, I can understand that it may be difficult. What are some of the things you are really glad you got to do with Brian after he was diagnosed? Is there any advice you can give on what to expect, how to stay positive, how to stay grounded in the moment and not worry about the future or anything else? As you can understand I have a million other questions in my head right now but I will just ask those for now. Thanks guys, I believe watching your channel is going to become very therapeutic to me over the next few months. I can't wait for the Legasea to open and to come and see it for the first time.
