I’m just backed up in videos, been so busy and wasn’t able to edit and post and now I’m backed up 😂

Poor Big Mac... And I love Akila! She's amazing

[@justicegreen4055]

Thanks for the update on Big Mac, I have no idea why I am so invested in that guy getting back to his gator self, but, he seems to have found the right place for it to happen! Great Job! You're picking up more followers and views every day too, all the work you are putting in is showing. Keep on keeping on - you got a lot of people cheering for you!

[@jackiejmorgan]

Yes we ARE, CHEERING for yal! Love channel ❤️ can't get enough animals & chris & gab!... n that order😉

[@fmills1583]

Nice to see a vlog of the transition of a wild gator to a habituated gator.

[@Nkotb76]

Prayers for the new Alligator. I hope he has a speedy recovery. He's definitely in the best place for that. I can't get over the Emus. They're so big . I always love seeing all those sweet faces. Bless you Gabby.

[@susanmartin3762]

I've NEVER thought about what it would feel like to be a caught gator! Aliens!! That's exactly how it feels to them. That's funny, Chris🙂😅... You seem to have a very calming effect on your animals. Look at you right in front of a new gator, and he's doing NOTHING while you removed the tape!😮s. That 1st gator you said would take weeks or months for her to settle in... the next day, you were "dancing " with her. Same thing with the Nile croc... he was fine and taking food from you. It's you, Chris. I love how you say, "Hi Chloe..Hi baby..Chloeeeee. ". You talk to every single animal with the same tone and cadence.. you truly are The real life Dr. Doolittle!..... and of course Mrs. Dr. Doolittle! You're awesome too Gabby... you both are magical❤

[@GatorChris_]

Aw thank you!

[@CarlosGonzalez-zh5iq]

The moment you compared his capture to an Alien abduction, that was one of the fastest hits I gave a like button ever. Never would have considered an animal capture, even for life saving reasons, in that way. Very happy to see you and Gaby building up the sanctuary!

[@Caroline06Jones]

You look so happy.... it's like all your Christmases have come at once ❤

[@LavenderLushLuxury]

I love seeing Akelia she's so calm and smart 💚💛🐊

[@susanmartin3762]

Akila takes her food so gently and right there in front of you. That's amazing!

[@cynthiakochheiser9871]

Poppy likes you petting him more than he likes to eat! Lol

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

I don’t understand how anyone can think gators are stupid. Big Mac was scared but wheels were turning when you took off the tape and sat a bit together. Hope s/he heals up enough to have a good quality of life. It’s hard to see an animal in so much discomfort and pain. Isami is just adorable,such a pleasure to watch her play. There are some species of prickly pear which have dangerous spines…my orphaned grandfather worked at one point as a ranch hand told me about searing the spines off for cattle during an East Texas blue norther. I was so fascinated about feeding prickly pear to cattle the misery of the work and the fact he was a child didn’t enter my mind until I was older.

[@Debra.Justice]

Get well soon Big Mack. We’re all pulling for you and you’re in great hands. I love watching the prairie dogs, especially Poppy. They just absolutely melt my heart. Chris, I hope you and Gabby enjoy your time at Gatorland. Hugs from Tennessee. 💕🐊

[@darrenking9357]

Seeing how comfortable Shippo is now with you right up on him is so rewarding. I mean, you've been somewhat close for awhile but he still had a look of apprehensiveness and not being at complete ease. This is the first time I really see you up close and he looked 100% completely relaxed and not worried about ya AT ALL. Now if he'd just start going back at Hazel when she's taking her impatience out on him pre-feeding time, he'll officially have come all the way out of his shell...😂

[@amongthejungle]

I literally never get enough of poppy! I have a dog just like her and it makes me laugh SO HARD! The dedication to the pets is amazing!!

[@Scott_1981]

Love what you guys are doing, been following for a while! I think Papi has my heart lol.

[@thedirectorschair1054]

So glad that Big Mac survived the night. Chris, you and Gabby have the best wildlife channels on the internet. Not just because of the wonderful animals and how you are able to highlight their personalities, but because you and Gabby are so educational even just in seeing how you interact with them. I'm so happy to see you two living your dream. I had a few questions. How long does it take to complete that daily routine? As the sanctuary expands and the routine becomes even bigger, do you think you'll have to take on staff in the future? How many crocs and gators do you think you have capacity for? You put Big Mac in with Bella to pair up male with female as he might have been more prone to fights with Aqila, does that mean you're limited to one male per enclosure? Have you ever noticed any big personality differences between crocs and gators as a species? All the best.

[@joyandersen2782]

I love watching Akila's training! She's incredible 💚🐊

[@Angelface11]

I've been waiting for this I felt so bad for him ❤️. But shocked he has done so well in fl and got lucky. I think he and Bella will do well. Honestly he seemed calm for going through that hell. Yes it's definitely like an alien abduction. I think he's a chill dude...again..he was more chill then most animals in his condition and circumstances. And he's a beaut!

[@GatorChris_]

We just have to see if he’s actually chill or just has temporary brain trauma

[@lyric8006]

Honestly I love watching all the animals eat but the Prairie Dogs have the cutest, quiet eating noises. 🩵🩷🩵🩷

[@DeliberatelyBearded]

Excellent Vlog Thank you I really enjoy watching you guys interact with the animals whether its giving them treats or playing with them or a teachable moment its great stuff and love the night time feeding with Jet and Asami everyone looks so happy and healthy as they always do Love seeing you working with Akila she really is beautiful Thank you for all you do appreciate you guys very much

[@hiho8084]

I never thought of it that way, "Alien abduction," but you are right, it must feel so frightening and unfathomable. Believe it or not, I wondered about the tape on his mouth when you let Big Mac loose. But, hello! You know what you are doing! Thanks for addressing that though..I wondered. He's lucky to be in a safe place now. I'm always amazed at how well you know these creatures. That you can go right up to him and remove the tape....wow. I really enjoy your rounds. All the animals are amazing in their own ways. Akila is so gentle when she takes the food. Love the education that I get here!

This was one of the most relaxing and calming videos I’ve watched in ages and just what I needed. Thank you for sharing your girls and boys with us. Seeing them all eating with no music, just their little shnuffling and snorting, was wonderful. With love and best wishes to you all. x

[@stephaniedutoit6521]

Greetings Chris and Gabby. Luvvies to all the sanctuary creatures too. I'm thrilled that BigMac, made it through the night. Hooray 🎉 That's fantastic after seeing all the trauma he has been through. So wonderful to see him in the swallow water today. I'm sure that being in his natural element also helps cleaning of the wounds, reducing any swelling and in general just making him more comfortable and settled. Well done big guy, keep on recovering in your wonderful new home. No more fighting or hitchhiking on the roads required.

[@MetaSynCreta]

Your videos are like ASMR for me. Can't wait to come visit next time I'm in Florida. Love what both of you do much! 💚

[@LeahFairfield]

I laugh every time Chris asks Poppy or Papi, don’t know which it is, “why are you like this?” 😂 So cute! I hope Gabby can get him climbing up on Chris. I’ve been waiting to see that.

[@susanmartin3762]

The amplified siundsc of chewing and crunching is just so...satisfying. ASMR peeps may like that. Has anyone ever said anything about that? OK... You've just said something unreal.. The comments from people to yiu that just blow me away. Stickers?? People notice stickers on fruit and criticized you? Wtf?? I had NO IDEA that stickers on fruit is edible..price stickers? PLU stickers? Those people have WAY TOO MUCH time on their hands to instead of enjoying watching you feed great stuff to you critters, they find someone to bitch about. Waddya gonna do, right? Some people...🤣😆

Thank you for the piglets and coatis eating watermelon AMSR 😊 I love that you are able to help so many gators and crocs already. Love your channel!

[@dianeowens8051]

The work you do with Casper is impressive, But for me the journey with training Bella, Akila, and hopefully Big Mac will be way more exciting. FYI I never saw any shows you worked on, but I did watch the vlogs you made about them and was entertained.

[@GatorChris_]

Thanks!

[@DebbieBaker-ol4qo]

I really enjoy watching and learning about all of the animals you have and take care of,the 🐊 and Alligator 🐊 and Asmi are some of my favorites that includes Hazel and Petunia also I love all of the animals.

[@nancyeveritt6495]

Love seeing Asame. Have missed her in vids lately.

[@rockdocandlittlebird]

Seeing how swollen the one arm was, I cannot imagine him not having at least a mild concussion, he got hit by a truck before the aliens abducted him. It was a rough day for sure. I think seeing more of the foster pigs, and you interacting with them, would boost their chances of finding homes. Could Gabby talk about them and their names, I'd love to hear the stories behind them.

[@kellyg4133]

Another great video. Love what yall do. I could watch and listen all day long.

[@clistiarobinson34]

I love seeing Asami playing, she is too freaking adorable, I feel so bad for Mac but I know he will be okay because alligators are so tough. Bella is looking amazing in the water, she seems really happy and content. I hope you and gabby have an awesome day and akila is so gorgeous

[@nicolegoodew1547]

Akila is by far my favorite animal you have on the property 😍 she is adorable and I hope she stays this calm for you guys. She is spoiling you with her sweetness lol Asami and I enjoy our walks in the rain I see 😂 sometimes the rain just feels really refreshing. Take care Chris and Gabby, love these videos and watching every animal warm up to you both ❤ so happy for you both to have your dreams come true more and more every day. All the best wishes for you both and all the animals on your property, in your care and in the wild of your back yard

this is so cool and she is so gentle to take the food

[@amandalynnm]

So amazing! I love how you do things that the animals are uncomfortable with, so that they can gain confidence and acclimate to their new world. I feel so uncomfortable doing that with my own rescues because i try to avoid making anyone afraid or uncomfortable etc...but i know its better for everyone if i do it. So I just have to push through.

That croc is chill but very smart... she comes in quick but takes it gently..shes small for a nile.

As an Aussie, i love how Chris thinks the Emus are big. Wait until they are full grown Chris, then you will see big.

Akila aka your pond puppy😍. So I’m wondering if you’ve considered doing a fund raiser where everyone who watches donates 1 dollar? I’ve seen this done before and it can add up to a significant amount without being a financial burden to those donating.

[@darrenking9357]

Big question that piqued my curiosity a week or so ago. You swam with Bella underwater after a few days & she "acted" chill & you said most all wild gators are like that "underwater". But since then, we've seen she's still nervous & defensive with you above water. Why the difference in behavior towards you "under water vs above water"?

[@evertisakjulius2249]

I guess it's cause they can't see aswell underwater and they don't expect a "monkey (huuman)that kidnapped" them to swim under water with them

[@GatorChris_]

They’re more comfortable in the water

[@Zariaparsonssindell]

Chris literally has his own personal zoo lol. Can you give subscribers a tour

[@elisabethposada3007]

Cute foxes very playful 😂

[@gingersnap9756]

Abducted by aliens is exactly how it should be described! Too funny. My OCD wants the pigs to eat out of a trough. lol 😂 The baby emus are getting so big but still so adorable. Can’t wait to hear the name. The dragonfruit always makes me think of dice. Poppy will stop at nothing for his pets! He’s totally adorable. Akila is so cool. OMG Clover with her tongue out and knocked out. Too cute. Jet is sweet with very sharp teeth. lol. Asami is a silly skunker.

Do you have a deal with Publix where they help you feed the animals or does the cost come out of your pockets?
