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.

I’ve been really enjoying Lori and Jay in front of the camera. Can’t wait to see Brian and Lori vision finally come to fruition

[@1bigelf]

We all miss Brian's genuine enthusiasm and excitement and Noah's quirkiness but I am so glad to see Lori in front of the camera more. She is the heartbeat of the Reptarium and Legasea and I love seeing her keeping this channel alive. I had stopped watching the Vlog for a while until I saw Brian post the first few videos about his cancer and I haven't missed a video since. We all love you Lori and the whole crew. Please keep us entertained and a part of this adventure.

[@Reddington073]

I ADORE Lori’s excitement as well as the crews excitement!! I remember when Lori always put her hands up for Brian to get away with that camera! Now look at her killing it! ❤️❤️

[@mazzyllene1]

Merman Mike! My favorite, absolute favorite, thing about y'all is the feeling of family is always there. No matter what, y'all are there for each other and I love that.

[@marypierce529]

You can get a firefly squid for the LegaSea it glows in the dark. And there are chameleons that glow too. Lori you are doing an amazing job with the LegaSea

Love seeing Lori in the videos! She is such a strong boss lady and it wonderful to see her taking the lead and being in the spot light! You deserve so much credit for how hard you work and what an amazing leader you are. The whole crew is awesome and you all bring something special to the vlog that makes it so enjoyable to watch. Mike I have so much respect and appreciation for you and all you do for the animals especially your confidence with the bigger animal. You have really stepped up. Thank you all for sharing your lives with us and putting yourselves out there.❤

Those geckos are wild!! I bet the Milk Frogs and other frogs might glow. Cool stuff.

[@gingerbread4057]

I remember when i got my packages i could imagine myself following Brian’s footsteps, envisioning the enclosure before even buying it. He always made me feel confident in my passion for reptiles and continues to be the reason i never stop talking about reptiles to anyone wholl listen❤ miss you B dog

[@melissaf.5898]

Me too 💔🫂☮️

[@KIMBERLYHUSTON]

Woohoo fantastic vlog!!! Ok Lori you're just missing the throwing of the packing material 😂. Scott is eye level with a lot of the tanks, he definitely can't say that much I'm sure. Jessica you look gorgeous in your dress ❤. Grayson is adding some fun energy to the vlog as well. You are all doing such a great job!

[@emilyarriaga3086]

Stitch’s little cheerio crunches were SO CUTE!!!!

[@Cvd_B]

It might be cool to make a dark room with scorpions and have a black light light up the enclosures so the visitors can see them glow in the dark.

[@PL5543-px1jf]

I wasn't prepare to happy cry watching this today! I adore all of the crew. Seeing their reaction and Lori's smile was EVERYTHING for me!

[@angelkisses5933]

I also had a tear up at thinking of how excited Brian would be x

[@kevinpoe8137]

Dune geckos are super cool, you should try and get some pajama sharks, they also glow in the dark

Okay some flying squirrels glow bright pink in the dark. Lots of sea creatures do but a mammal that does is awesome. Also just want to say Jay and Lori, and all the crew, you guys are doing an amazing job. We can really feel your excitement about the Legasea and some like myself feel that way too. Please don't stop bringing us this awesome content. I have MS and don't always get around well so I can't wait to see the video everyday.

I'm so happy to see so much excitement! At some points I was wondering if it was really going to happen, but it's looking amazing and I'm for sure going to get there to see it in person!

[@MrJayOkane]

They used the same green fluorescent protein editing to make a cats fur glow. It works better with white hair cats. I think the Geckos are a natural glow though. Think they just got an albino gator to glow too. Pretty interesting and fun as it doesn't hurt the animal. They've done rabbits and monkeys as well. There is a red glow and a white glow in the dark but they are harder to see. Also if you're into bugs like moths they have a rainbow of glowing in the dark ones. Honestly beautiful

[@donnabell1122]

Welcome to the new crew and more to come

[@LittleFeatheredKingdom]

Budgies/parakeets also glow under blacklight! Looks amazing too! Not something that fits into the Rep/Legasea but an interesting fact any way, I think. 😊

My dog is black and white, and she doesn't glow in the dark but when the sun hits her, some of the black areas on her glows a brindle which is very pretty.

Great Vlog!!! Jay, Lori, Jessica, Connie, Melissa, Mike, Jay, Grayson, and the rest of the Team. Lori and Jay another incredible vlog. The staff looks Amazing. Happy, Energized, and ready to Open and more importantly Run the Legasea Aquarium. The animals that glow in the dark under the black light would be an amazing camp project for the children. The Beautiful Jessica still looks like standing is a little annoying. If something is pinching call Your Obstetrician. Chiropractors can help. Since no medication is allowed. If Your just feeling the weight on Your lower back, they might suggest a back support. Jay looks Good and is Staying Out of Trouble. Don't be afraid just because You learn everything doesn't mean that You have to do everything. Delegation is Your Friend. Your able to help Lori train. I really would love a video introducing the rest of the team, and what they do for the BhB, The Reptarium and/or The Legasea Aquarium. Remember Keep enjoying the Process.
