-About-
Hi, my name is Derek Krahn and I'm the Operations Director for the Center for Animal Research and Education (CARE), a non-profit big cat sanctuary in Texas. That's where I got the idea for the name, 'BigCatDerek'. As you can probably already tell, I'm not that creative.
I've been working with big cats for over ten years, and I consider these big fuzzy beasts to be my dear friends. Most of my content is lighthearted, unscripted, and minimally edited dialogue in the CARE compound, meaning I like to walk around and talk to myself while I film my big cat friends.
I guess I do vlogs, but I'm not very 'vloggy', if that makes any sense. That's not to say that I have anything against more 'vlogier' vloggers or that my style of un-vloggy vlogging is superior to more 'vloggy' vlogging. I'm just trying to say that my inherent sense of vloginess is what it is.
Anyway, hope you like the vids!
-Derek

They're like, "I love you but..stay away from the food!"

That grumpy lion looked skeptical. I've never seen a lion look skeptical.

Note to self, always have a big light with you when walk around the wild - if an editor is near by, I will see their eyes glow. Cause nothing else will and they will blend in to the background! 😳
Poor kitties, they are probably upset over the fireworks.
Just wrap them in a towel and hold them till it’s over.🥸
I would pay money to watch you do that too.
🤣🤣

I love the horse stickers over the meat now. Lol 😂

[@RedScare67]

excellent puppies

[@amberwcisel1979]

So nice of Max to share his lion impression with you

[@co-jt6gd]

You almost had Kiara fooled until you said “be a better lion”. She’s like, “BICH, PLEASE! I’m proud of who I am and you are never gonna get me to change that. Not for all the money in the world; what use is money to a lion anyway?!”

[@alexisgrunden1556]

"You are making a big stink over limited resources!"
'YES, Derek, that's it exactly! I am _resource guarding_ because I do not have enough!'

[@bonniepwtf]

😂😂😂😂Melissa outdid herself with the fancy hat wearing horsey heads

[@TheBlue65packer]

Kiaria, I know how you feel! I was like that yesterday!😋🤦‍♀Love you,❤❤ Kiara!

[@susanfantozzi4415]

I'm so sorry you guys dropped out of my feed. Is that Kiara or Noey who has lost so much condition? Breaks my heart. Its not right that they get old. Still glad to see there is plenty of spices left in the cabinet tho. So glad to see you again. ❤

[@ElleW415]

It's Kiara in this video.

[@beccaboop93]

So the moral of the story is, singing at the kitties makes them mad or just being near there nom noms, or plants.... I'll make a list 📝

[@Nightprideenclave_studio]

One question if tiger as a pet is an illegal but how you not get an arrested?

[@ElleW415]

This is a big cat rescue. It's called CARE Rescue Texas.

[@Nightprideenclave_studio]

@@ElleW415 oh that explains why you don’t get arrested
