Ty!! I love to get to any Angelus part lol

[@hasi325]

Bella's begging sound is so cute. ❤😊

[@GatorChris_]

I think so too!

[@melg8475]

Ocala is just so smiley lol What a cutie pie he is. Watching the pigs and kit kat run brings me pure joy 🩷

[@GatorChris_]

He is a happy dog! 🥰

[@jovialthinker]

Poor Larry. I hope he recovers 🙏🏽

[@irishcurse65]

Ocala looks so healthy and happy

[@GatorChris_]

He’s doing great!

[@fuzzlekitty]

Ocala is a happy boy, so glad you saved him. (I think hes glad too)

[@keldaMouse]

omg Big Mac is SO offended by you "tricking" him with that stick move that forced him to roll. so funny! They are such character and I adore Big Mac and Bella. Thanks for the fun video!

[@starparodier91]

Awww, it’s okay Big Mac, my brain makes me clumsy too! (very mild cerebral palsy) 😂

[@meloneyparker]

I have MS. I definitely understand!

[@lisaweatheral4458]

I have acquired Ataxia’s a so me too

[@kelseywilliams9616]

Look at Ocala running around! He is so funny!

[@jovialthinker]

Clovieeee! She loves living on the edge. Literally 😂

[@GatorChris_]

😂

[@clistiarobinson34]

Heck yeah I get to watch this while at the laundry mat, it's always fun when you take a swim with the beautiful gators. I hope you and gabby have an amazing day

[@suzanneavila2333]

My heart raced for a second when Gabby said.... You're going to slip... My mind went to a death roll. Don't do that to me Chris. Jeez 💋💋💋💚💚💚

[@normalnorma4974]

Ocala makes me smile, he's had a terrible time, and to see his happy wee face is great. You see how big the gators are in that video. I always wonder what they smell like😅

[@GatorChris_]

The gators don’t have any noticeable smell

[@kelseywilliams9616]

Ocala is HILARIOUS! He loves everyone while some including the Prairie dogs and Summer aren't such of him. He is so funny! I love his personality!

[@kelseywilliams9616]

Ocala is a good puppy! He is so sweet! The emus are HILARIOUS!

[@rockdocandlittlebird]

OMG LD's grunts, he's like a puppy!

[@Igottimetoday3]

I love the way Bella makes that noise ❤

[@Debra.Justice]

Aww sweet Big Mac, I think he was embarrassed he fell. How’s the new alligator, Top Jaw? Ocala is so cute. I don’t understand how anyone could leave him in the forest. Some humans are just evil. Thank the Lord you found him in time. I hope you and Gabby have a wonderful Sunday. Btw, your property is so beautiful and looks so peaceful.

[@GatorChris_]

Thank you!

[@melg8475]

The emu legs walking by little cheeky and the prarie dogs was a very cool "scene" Looked very jurassic 😊

[@collie8]

Bella was doing yoga, but decided to join the pool 😀

[@nancyaubel4207]

Thank you!

[@DianaSheward]

Big Mac and Bella are 2 amusing personalities ! They are SO cute together.I loved the way Bella got in the pool,then immediately went to have a gawk at Gabby! I think she wants Gabby and herself to gang up against the boys, because she always goes and stares at Gabby,no matter where Gabby is in the enclosure.Either that,or Bella believes that when she's all growed,she'll be exactly like Gabby! I think Angelous looks a gorgeous big boy,such beautiful markings.I always like Morelet's crocs too,they always feel less ferocious,in the main ,than other species of croc. I hope you all weather the colder days/,nights well .Ocala being a zoomy,wagging flibbertigibbet was hilarious,plus seeing Akila doing a 'double sploot 'was cute.I adore Bellowing Acres.👍🏼🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️🐊🐊🐊

[@kalistasmyrychynski1566]

I just love the personalities of Bella and Big Mac.

[@LavenderLushLuxury]

4:17 He is so clumsy haha so cute though 🧠🐊🚙 Love learning about science,

Merry Christmas To You All Love From London Ontario....

I woukd use the stick around Pebbles.😂

[@MQuadrucci]

😄

[@Ryanboy2020]

Aww...Jelly Bean has been really warming up to you over the past couple of weeks. Such a happy Toucan! I cant believe how athletic Clover is. All of the animals look so happy and content, which is a testament to how well you guys take care of them.

[@GatorChris_]

It's great to see them all happy! Thank you!

[@joyandersen2782]

Wow, when Big Mac ate the piece of gator chow and his tail came up out of the water, you can see how huge he is! 💚🐊 Julie: "Dirt/seasoning, same thing"😂

[@JenCopeland-l1s]

I’m rooting for you Larry! ✨ 🐢 💚

[@christysank7705]

This is so awesome and to see how work with them and they are not scared of the sick!

[@Basey]

2:32 I’ve noticed this in other videos too but Bella has very good comedic timing lol. She’s always creeping up in the background or opening her mouth right at the perfect time 😂

[@RB-er6gu]

You're getting your place set up nice 👍 i enjoy your videos and not just the gators but the rest of the animals! 😊

[@GatorChris_]

Glad you like them!

[@evertisakjulius2249]

❤❤❤

[@Jb0t.ebk6O3]

Chris you're the goat of this alligator training, cant beleive you're in there with two gators coming up to you. You got a stick in one hand a male gators bottom jaw in the other, amazing work. I love watching your gator training.keep it up

[@teresakinney955]

Clovie is a mountain climber !

[@kimlam4585]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mitchellstein6431]

TY for sharing all of this with us. It's very special. We are all here to protect and preserve life in all its many forms, and you folks are WAY ahead of the pack on this. Enjoy doing such wonderful work...... You should have/train a few youngsters to maintain this past yourselves. Just saying...... Please don't take that the wrong way........

[@bbwana77]

Very nice video ...! ! ! ( I helped build the Gator Farm in Christmas Fl. and catch all the Gators and Crocks down in another gator farm in Palmdale. That's another story, especially the one where Herman Brooks and Cecile ( owner of the Palmdale gator farm which was closed down at the time ) went to Jamaica to caught all the cocks and brought them back - way before federal regulations ......! ! ! ! ! ! Love yer stuff ....! ! ! ! !

[@GatorChris_]

Wow that’s a wild story!

[@margiewalker1808]

Love your channel, so informative.

[@MarioLamRedRebel]

Chris is still the best men and brave 😂Greetings from the Netherlands 🐊 ( i mail with you monday, have good news)

[@AndyArmstrong88]

I always love watching your videos Chris. I love learning about animals and your so knowledgeable when it comes to gators/crocs 🐊

[@GatorChris_]

Thank you!!

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Bella the bellicose looks bigger…am I seeing things? I watch you because you never say they are “angry” when in reality they are afraid, do NOT sensationalize and always treat the animals with kindness and respect. Oh, and don’t yell at the top of your lungs, which I really can’t stand. Btw I looked it up…alligators do have inner ears…poor guy that would explain why he loses balance.Ocala is so cute…very puppy like. We definitely need cruelty laws to protect reptiles.

[@GatorChris_]

Thank you!

[@Raven_Claw-g9b]

Too cool

[@hiho8084]

I love Bella's grumbles....so cool. I do get really nervous when there are two gators coming at you at once. At least you have Gabby as a spotter. I sure hope Bog Mac doesn't experience vertigo the way humans do because it's awful. Trainings are nerve wracking, but very informative and incredibly interesting.

[@luxordeathbed]

I have found it highly fascinating how crocs and birds get trained. Applied that knowledge to a cat we got as a kitten a couple of years ago. These small lessons of touching and getting use to things paid off immensely. There is much to learn from some cross over training techs IMO

[@JiggyVIBE]

I like how Jellybean likes to be pet lately instead of stabby stab

[@Sheislizz]

We need more Emu content and them chasing Okala I believe that’s it 😅😂

[@Angelface11]

Is Angelus a morlets too? Hes just so gorgeous!!!! Literally looks like a geode

[@margusmees5720]

28:03 Gotta make room for more food!

[@TheFlyWahine]

So we are basicly naming that stick Excalibur, and that necless is enchanted and he's "the chosen one". XD

[@callosal]

I wonder if the emus have an instinctive reaction to Ocala due to his coloring being similar to a dingo?

[@vineyardsaker6195]

I have three questions: would you do things differently if these were crocs rather than gators? Also, does Gabi carry a stick too while filming? Finally, did you invent the "stick with gators technique"? Thank you!

[@JenCopeland-l1s]

This one with Big Mac and Bella had me holding my breath just a little…kind of nervous!!

[@susanwilkie9180]

Hey your videos are fantastic, I LOVE watching them and Be g Mac has to be my favourite. Curious question - do you know what kind of dog Clover is? And where/how did you get her? She’s so cool! Great job always Chris and Gabby 😁❤️

[@joyandersen2782]

There's a video on their other channel Florida's Wildest where they had a DNA test done on her. Just scroll back a couple of years and you'll find it 💚

[@GatorChris_]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqnbgGuPoal-btU

[@bethannyallain5395]

Is Clover part Malinois? I am just wondering due to her athleticism. Ocala is definitely living his absolute best life.😊

[@gerardbeck457]

Do they eat the pellets you feed them? Likely after they eat all the luscious fruit and veggies? Oh, and you need to give your parakeets and cockatiels fruit pieces and such too, not just seed (but do increase the sunflowers in the seed though).

[@j-rl1wk]

How often do you clean their ponds

[@ridesharesourcedriver7321]

29:40 especially because the water drips down in the air, doesn't this significantly lowers the water temp super quick?

[@GatorChris_]

Nope, doesn’t affect it at all. I researched it beforehand

[@joynietsky]

The only reasons I would have for wanting to know about close calls is what you learned from it - what caused it, the behavioural cues you missed and look for now, environmental factors, etc - but I know that, unfortunately, most use those stories to feed their outdated and inaccurate perceptions 🐊💚

[@patricklary81]

Is Bella potentially trying to ambush you by trying to swim behind you?

[@lisaweatheral4458]

Do you put Tilapia fish in the water with your crocs in the smaller enclosures? I know you can’t with the big ponds because you empty them like you must.

[@susanmartin3762]

Could you tell us what "Uh-oh.. both of his mebrames are up. I hate when thay do that."...means.. please. I'm thinking it's eyes but tell us what and how and why.... please🐊

[@lorisgobbo8907]

Do you still do tours with casper chris

[@MadhouseGaming]

I would never ask you of your most dangerous encounter, the biggest question I would ask what is your fondest memory or working with these amazing animals?

[@robertrosenbaum4943]

Could you say something about the interesting vocalizations made by the toucan? I'm not even sure what to call it: clicking? rattling? buzzing? purring? It's certainly different from any other bird noise I've heard. Can you interpret it? Does it mean he's happy, irritated, hungry?

[@ralphspiegl]

hi

[@davidhunt4307]

When you are getting hold of Big Mac n Bella underneath there mouth are you grabbing there skin or just lifting them up ? Bella looks so much more pushy than Big Mac he is happy just watching you whilst she keeps coming back and pressing you sometimes even looks like he pushes her away god i love the prairie dogs they are to funny

[@GatorChris_]

Usually just lifting up

[@elisabethposada3007]

He is offended!

[@Mopar_logic]

Can they taste different kinds of meat or it's all the same to them?

[@GatorChris_]

Better taste sense than a human

[@peggyblack1739]

Crazy I’m not brave

[@davidhunt4307]

Did you ever find out what it was inside of Gaston was it pool lining or something else it’s crazy that it’s effecting him that way it must be all over his inside poor little fella just hope he can live out his life in some sort of comfortable way

[@GatorChris_]

We weren’t able to find out

[@lucvincentmetz8144]

Hi Chris, do you think Angelis and Akila could be paired up (once they're both sexually mature)?

[@GatorChris_]

That’s the plan!

[@abbyfromkc652]

I hope that you don’t take offense to my questions. I know that you get bitten more by the birds and mammals. Just curious what all has bitten you…… Secondly do you still have venomous permit? I don’t ask for that worst case scenario; I am just curious. Every animal is different and I would say aside from the dogs nothing is domesticated. I can watch other channels and 1 animal may only want to hurt you while the same animal can be like a puppy dog. Example; Tyler Nolan has king Cobra’s male is like a puppy but still venomous and his female is no joke charges out of the cage to eat Tyler. Both are same kind of king Cobras just 1 female and 1 male. I respect Chris and his talents because other than Stone; Chris isn’t scarred up or missing parts of his body. I am sure that there’s more people out there that just don’t have the public attention.

[@KCF2024]

Must be exhausting to have a passion that wants to eat you. Just can't have a bad day.

[@lisaweatheral4458]

GABBY and CHRIS. I HAVE balance issues from damage to my inner ear from Gentamicin and from shrinkage to my Cerebellum from a prolong B12 deficiency but I also had two TBI’s from pressure and and concussions to my skull. Yep my brain has taken some trauma, but not from being an adrenaline junkie, just being at the wrong time at the wrong spot, and given antibiotics a certain way in my pick line and prolong usage that causes the inner ear hairs to die. So it’s kind of like the perfect storm so many things contributed to my lack of balance switch being an ex jack, adventurous person, and really changed my life. I don’t have what most people think inner ear problems cause I rately have the spins or any of that type I just have no balance, 24-7, that probably might be his problem. Big Mac and I might be in the same club there’s three sources of balance, your inner ear, your brain and your spine and any damage to any three of these can cause balance issues. I walk like a drunk, but I’m not of course lol it also makes my eyesight wonky, and I have issues with my kidneys, but that is from the gentamicin antibiotic and that’s called gentamycin toxicity syndrome, but my balance issues like I said is caused from several different sources not just the one. A little complicated. Since big Mac wasn’t given gentamicin and he doesn’t have a B12 deficiency, he just calls from an injury if he has an issue it’s a little different, but I also have had to bring injuries whatever’s which gave me seizures and all that lovely stuff and then a car accident when I was in my 20s… Also, I’ve had a little bit of spine issues from competitive gymnastics. So I am a bit ear, spine, and brain damaged but not cognitively.

[@lisaweatheral4458]

The vestibular system is responsible for maintaining balance, posture and the body’s orientation. This system also regulates locomotion and keeps objects in visual focus when the animal move. The vestibular system is divided into peripheral and central:

[@lisaweatheral4458]

Have you checked as best as you can Big Macs hearing? I have to wear hearing aids now. Not that he also has hearing issues but he could.

[@GatorChris_]

Wow that’s crazy! As far as I can tell Big Mac has good hearing

[@kathyreichard7029]

They never saw you in the wet suit. You think that is why they come after you.

[@debraeesteves6198]

If they do eat and it gets cold, what is the outcome of their not being able to digest? Is it dangerous for them?

[@GatorChris_]

It can kill them
