Training A Crocodile!

- Today we're at the Everglades Outpost working with Aries the 11 foot Nile crocodile! We are working on some stationing, and trying to get him habituated and used to being touched. The training session went really well, and we are going to walk you through the process!

I love these videos it really shows how intelligent these creatures are
Definitely, cause they look so idiotic at times. But it’s because they’re so skilled at being predators, they don’t really have a fear resulting in no need to evolve lol
They’ve been alive since the dinosaurs so I’d imagine they grew a sizable brain over time even if they *should* be complete morons
I didn't know Niles could be trained like this. They're supposed to be at the extreme end of the crocodilian aggression scale, next to Australian saltwater crocs.
Nobody at all:
Not a single damn soul:
Lady: ARES!!!!
Ares: :O
I love that you guys respect the animal. All living beings should be respected despite the differences in species. ❤
Anything that survived a mass extinction deserves respect
He's so beautiful!! And it's clear how much you guys love and respect the animals. Warms my heart
Glad to see Chris and Gabby work so well together. As this is a dangerous career. Your respectful treatment of these scary crocs require i think nerves of steel. Thanks for the knowledge and the entertainment.
This momentarily cured my depression
We have lots of videos! We hope you enjoy and it helps 🥰
This was so much fun to watch and very professional as always. I really hope your channel continues to grow. Aries is such a good boy. ❤❤😁👍🏼
Damn, his colouring is stunning. Such a beautiful animal.
6:47 My soul got a heart attack at here, but how u still r good makes you awesome and brave👌
You both work hard. You do so much healing and protect those beautiful animals.
These two should absolutely have a tv show. Good looking and knowledgeable couple. I see big things for them.
Him & not her.
She doesn't understand how to train animals at this point.
You can't just repeat the name like she does.
She gave me a headache.
You want to have the attention, you can't just say the same word over & over.
So he acts very assertive and tries to make sure that animal is paying attention.
She just says the name over & over.
She is not really helping. She needs training.
I would prefer a couple capable guys around him.
Just in case something happens, a couple of guys who could wrestle an alligator before he takes my arm or leg off.
@@bestdjaf7499 i won't say that she's a perfect trainer, i have no idea about that sort of stuff. saying the name over and over seems like...a good thing? like, it helps the crocodile associate feeding with its name? like...you barely even have a point on this topic. (and lol, you're basically just complaining that training a crocodile isn't exciting or can be repetitive. welcome to training animals, especially relatively not too intellectually complex ones)
but then you make it about how you'd prefer to be with men than a woman, and you somehow make that seem like anything more than you coming out or being sexist. while she 100% isn't as strong as her boyfriend, it isn't like humans can actually overpower a crocodile anyway, and the aim for handling crocodiles is certainly not to "be strong enough to tackle them", it's to be far more prepared than for that to be relevant.
and either way, they always work together. there's no reason why you have to disrespect her for not being really stronk, she can have different focuses than just brute strength...like, i dunno, the things you're saying are just really lacking in nuance and seem extremely shallow and one dimensional.
@@bestdjaf7499 seems like it ends up working out in the end anyway. the croc starts responding to its name and the arm movement. eventually, it would surely learn to associate its name with feeding, it's basic fucking conditioning lmfao

I am not a professional trainer.
Maybe it's the way to train the reptiles.
I only have a dog, and you cannot do that to a dog.
And I am a bit concern that she probably wouldn't be able to wrestle a crocodile alone in case something happens.
But maybe they do have a team behind the camera.
When Aries has his mouth open wide it looks like he's smiling. :)
I've lived in Florida most of my life, and now I'm starting to learn more and more about these incredible creatures. Completely misunderstood and far more intelligent than I've ever imagined. Thank you for providing these amazing videos.
You two are amazing! Will hope to see you sometime.
Its funny to watch this giant crocodile taking these itsy-bitsy treats.😂 the Gator's mouths are SOOOO BIG and the treats are soooooo small. I wonder if they can even taste the or feel the treat in those giant mouths! They certainly do love them.!! Better the treats than you right?....👍
He’s very calm for a Bull crocodile. Congratulations on training him and for not getting eaten by him or Miss Toothy.
That is one handsome croc! I love how beautiful, ancient and dinosauric they look. It's good that you get to show how intelligent they can be as well. They are capable of being trained like anything else. I taught my parrot to do tricks like roll over, fetch, open things, high five, put items in a grocery cart, fly things to me, etc. It shouldn't surprise anyone that if birds are intelligent, their crocodilian ancestors are as well.
It is So Nice to watch such a Video... I Loved it 🥰😇
That's awesome that Eries is a hybrid between a Cuban Crocodile and Nile Crocodile
You guys are the alligator whisperers! Very nice video and thank you for sharing!
These videos are the best! You guys deserve way more followers!
Such a handsome boy!❤
Thank you for sharing this amazing video . Your work is remarkable .
I love your intro every time!
6:57 Note to self: don't lie in bed watching you feed Ares. Lol my soul nearly left my body. 😅
wow... This is my 6th video in a row watching, and I am just fascinated with all this Alli and Crocs. While each one has been interesting, for 'Aries' is so far my 'fav'... that "camo" pattern on his 'skin' is AWESOME, his head shape looks really wild, and if I am not mistaken, it looks as if Aries is sporting a "perma grin"/smile... From 12:00 to 14:14 it is quite obvious... so cool... Now off to see Aries where it 'didn't go so well"... CHEERS and Thanks
amazing! so happy that i found your channel.
Thank you!!
❤❤❤ so beautiful!! I'm teary eyed 🥺 I just saw your ig post with seven and emmediately checked your yt channel and subscribed!! Watched 3 vidoes in the last hour ❤❤❤❤❤ my heart!!@
I love what you guys do I wish I had that kind of life I love all animals. One day perhaps it will happen. You guys are what restores my faith in the world. Thank you so much!!
Love these videos
I like the look of crocodiles they look awesome
Aries is BADASS! You remind me so much of Steve Irwin, he was compassionate and caring for the crocodiles and alligators he encountered, or took care of. I love these videos, very educational.
I like the part where she says Aries
He totally a beautiful crocodile
Whoohoo! Almost 100K subs.
A magnificent, strong, muscular, handsome, majestic reptilian predator allowing himself to be pet like a dog, chill as a cat.
Crocodilians are amazing and vastly misunderstood animals.
I know it was just a movie, but Crawl got so much wrong.🐊
The jaw strength on these creatures is just phenomenal, here in Australia large crocs are a big thing up top end and out west, but as long as your careful and don't deliberately do anything stupid they are harmless. Don't feed wild crocs and stay out of their water.
Great video! I love your channel and videos.!! Hi Chris and Gabby. Have a good evening. I hope I can meet you guys someday soon.!! I'm a huge fan of you guys and Gatorboys.!!! Maybe you can do a video with wild Charles and Chandler sometime at everglades outlet and maybe with Gatorboys Paul.!!!
You guys are awesome no matter how confident in there behaviour id still be nervous as hell to put my face that close to death
Great Rita
Amazing work good stuff
I love how you take care of these gators. I will look for the link to donate.🐊
Fascinating!
Incredible great videos! interesting those black dots I noticed on the video of the skeleton you guys came across the dots were all over the skull
Ms toothy and Aries are so cute !
Amazing what you do
Aries should become Couch privilegs for his good behaivior
He looks so awesome! I love the black and yellow coloration of the scales and scutes. How does someone even become a crocodile trainer?
Gotta give you guys a lot of props idk how you guys do it Dam your both impressive!!!
It's the reflexes that stun me. They move faster then you can blink. If they were gunfighters, they be the fastest shooters in The West.
Cuban/Nile cross?? 😮 what a beast, Cubans are no joke and neither are Niles!
Ares must get to know Casper !❤
The female gets fended off whilst the male is focusing on treats 🤣 .... I laughed
Aries is awesome. And sweet. And scary.
"He's so gentle" lays his head down so softly then does a lil grab
this is called operant conditioning and works with most animals (of course the ease and complexity of tasks you can train different species to do varies)
How big can the hybrid cuban/Nile males get?
The channel would get really amazing exposure if you guys did a collab with Chandler at the Everglades outpost as well. Just an idea, I really love what you guys do and you were my first ever reptile enthusiasts that I followed and now I am obsessed! Thank you again for all your content.
We usually don’t volunteer on the same days !
Wow. Just wow
I love wild life
Didn't know 🐊 could get offended. I ❤ his giant hands and feet!!!!
Do you give the female treats for staying in the water, to me it looked like she came up because she wanted some too so I wondering if you gave her some off camera to reward her for staying in the water and so she didn't feel left out?
What. A. Specimen! I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say his name is Aries? 😁
Love what you all are all about. Keep up the good fight.....💪👊 My guess, when you all measure, is 335 to 345 cm by the way.........
I like Aries. Do you ever feed Mrs Toothy? Or how does she get fed?
Now I will dream all nights someone that yells at me: "Harris!"
Is the Everglades Outpost open to the public?
Yes it is
“Aries”
What happened to his tail? A portion is missing.
Anybody remember Marty Stouffer's Wild America???
How much does Aries weigh approximately I wonder 🤔
Wow
Alligators 🐊
Interesting
I think that they are amazing!! I am in awe of everything that God created in this world down to every detail. Even the most simplistic things are very complex when you investigate how they are made. Crocodiles and alligators are some of the most amazing creatures, bc they are dinosaurs, survivors of great catastrophic events of the world. That shows that they are extremely intelligent animals. Even though they can learn to interact with instruction from humans it doesn’t mean that you can bet your life on them splitting a ham sandwich and a soda with you! LOL. Don’t forget that they are wild dinosaurs that have wild instincts, and cannot be “reconditioned” to lose those wild instincts. So, please don’t forget that, and respect their natural predatory behavior will always be intact, even the most well trained croc or gator. I hope that everyone will appreciate these amazing animals in this beautiful world we share with them!! Our lives matter,alligator’s and crocodile’s lives matter, and all lives matter!! MOST IMPORTANTLY - If you don’t like them, then go on your merry way, and leave them alone! If you go into your back yard that backs up to a body of water, and you find one sunning itself on your lawn, don’t assume that gives you the right to harm them, bc you are the one who is trespassing in their territory. Be glad that they allow you to exist in their environment! If you do have an encounter with a gator then contact the authorities or dial 911, and they will come out to remove the gator, so that no one is harmed, and the gator can be released somewhere that it will be safe. Be kind to one another, bc oh, baby it’s a wild world!🤗💞
How we understand it is male or female
Training a 🐊 😆.
Water buffalos try this same training method with much less success.
Aeris is such a gentle giant
( Yes I'm aware he can kill me anytime )
Mrs. Toothy is trying to eat Chandler every chance
So interesting to watch. Why the hand under his jaw? Just seems dangerous and am curious if that is somehow a calming touch or something...?
There are no tricks and it doesn’t do anything. It’s just a good place to put your hand and not get bit!
I'd pee my pants for sure!
Cuban Crocs are the fastest...so if he is a mix...BE CAREFUL
Please give me trick
Crocodile Dundee
Whats his name again ? 😂
So I started opening my mouth
You can teach me how to train animals how I am 16 years boy how to handle
This isn't going to end well.
People like this are like wingsuiters or stunt pilots. They don't mind dying doing what they love.
Trying to train something that can eat you alive oh hell No lol
Sounds like brainwashing animals when u say Aries 1000* times
or its just me
It’s just you
it's actually a demonstration of animal training through operant conditioning
Its the same thing you do with your dog, positive reinforcement. Crocs it seems just need more reinforcement?
The way she says aeries is annoying as hell
Not more annoying than you🤡
Don't like it
Such a beautiful crocodile. Love how you show such respect towards these amazing creatures and have such patience is astounding. Great work. You guys should start either a newsletter or magazine as well.
