You are the most knowledgeable person I've ever seen/heard on dangerous animals. Thank you for sharing Chris.
Thanks so much!!
I'm glad I'm on this side of the computer screen.
are you really grateful you’re on the other side of your PC or are you just subtly trying to call this dude stupid for being a croc trainer
cus if u are trying to mock him, buddy, the only reason ure not dead from these gators cus of the knowledge these croc trainers have obtained from dealing with them so u won’t die from ignorance
I did a swim with Casper on Saturday and it was THE COOLEST thing EVER! 🐊❤️🐊❤️
No Chris is cool and I like gators. Gators are awesome, sometimes it can cost you and arm and a leg just to feed them. Risk-to-reward ratio is out of balance. Rating: Admire from a distance. @@anzievlyn6820
He's hilarious "yeahhh I'll show you how that works" 😂😂😂
Honestly shout out to George! What a dangerous job and he still has to get shots and keep filming, so brave! You’re amazing too Chris love watching your channel!
He’s great!
I discovered your channels 4 days ago now im watching every single vid. Didnt know i have such curiosity about this wild creatures
I didn't either! Chris is my view is the BEST alligator educator.
Thank you, I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos!
There is so much to learn about these animals that not many people understand. If you like Chris you should definitely check out gatorland vlogs. It's a really cool place in Florida with a great team of people. And also Dingo dinkelman. He is awesome as well.
So much to learn from these people.
My mentality is #1, don't get in the water with them 😅
Right! Lol. I'm nowhere near gators or crocs so I'm safe, but ya no haha.
I am very fascinated by them, and just amazed by the people who work with them it's amazing. But my thought is just not get in waters with them lol
Unless it's a Casper tour. Or if I ever got the opportunity to do that cage thing in Australia. I might do that. Because that's a massive croc, and I would be in a cage that has protected lots of people.
Same with Casper. That would just be an amazing experience. But no getting in any water with any living dinosaurs not in any situation. They jump lol
@@katiemcdonald4113 I'm 💯 with you on that, a cage sounds good! 🙄
🎯 💯
You’re the gold standard for a wildlife n reptilian handler professional. U have such a calming presence that ur videos are very relaxing. Cheers 🙏
dude watch how chris reacts IMMEDIATELY after Casper sinks underwater. Casper was really tryna be slick with it too. Would have caught me
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you so much for sharing this and all your efforts for your own sanctuary! 🐊💙
I am SO glad I was able to swim with Casper on Nov. 18. Chris is very informative and knowledgeable about gators, amongst many other species, crocs, snakes, etc. I encourage you to book your spot. It totally gave me a new perspective on allocators. Casper just has this beauty about him. Chris tells the good, the bad and the ugly. .
Thank you!!
Casper while Chris talks about gator attacks: 😈
Casper when Chris says biscuits: 🐕
😂 him moving when you said biscuits reminds me of saying treat or walk for a dog
Great way to explain why people who get bit still go back to interacting with such animals.
He loves his biscuits😂
@@GatorChris_ Does he actually hear the word "biscuits" and immediately think food?
@@fallinginthed33pI’m sure he employs positive reinforcement by saying the word like we do for dogs too
I imagine this alligator hearing them talk for 30 minutes and seeing us like parrots 🦜. He's like these human sure make a lotttt of noise 😂😂
Yes. We probably seem like very odd creatures because of all the chatter we make. To Casper, most of it is just meaningless noise.
Love this riveting video, so intelligently iterated. You voice relief I’ve felt/but couldn’t pinpoint for years with my domestic animals: With animals we must “walk the walk” + can’t hide behind our material influence and fakeness 16:29. Appreciating that doesn’t sound ‘insane’ Chris, your values/heart are simply in the right place! You’re a grounded/humble wise SMART inspiration + hero to us animal lovers everywhere. I always can’t wait to watch ur educational content as soon as they drop; they make my days.
❤ the work/labors of love y’all are dedicated to over at your rescue too. What an *icon* of animal conservation/welfare you’ve become for common viewers like me.
From San Diego, California
Always enjoy your videos😊👍💪
I appreciate that!
There are responsible handlers and then there are idiotic handlers like sticking your head in a crocodilians mouth when its open. I've seen a video of a guy doing this to a croc during the show, and i was like this isn't entertainment. This is just plain stupid and a catastrophe waiting to happen.
Chris, I love this video and the information you’re providing. I’ve always had the idea if I’m attacked by an animal it’s because I did something stupid. I’d never blame the animal. I actually had a guy tell me that humans are top of the food chain and are apex predators. I laughed so hard I was breathless. I understand you’re feeling about working with dangerous animals. I don’t really fear them, but I have a great deal of respect for their power, strength, and their ability to take me out in a matter of seconds. Most people think I’m crazy but I don’t care. I just love animals and fear people more than I do any animal. Give adorable Casper a hug and keep up the good work. And I love the progress you and Gabby are making on the sanctuary. Love from Tennessee.
Casper "let me demonstrate" 🐊
Great video Chris! Many great points, your knowledge is amazing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You’re a beast dude. I have the utmost respect for how well u work with gators.
George, it's nice to finally see you!❤️
Chris
Chris and George superb video.
i learn a lot, clear,specific, to the point, precise.
Thanks for all the work behind each video editing,continuity, information easy to comprehend and understandable 🔝
Greetings ✋
Our pleasure!
Casper the whole entire time is like guys i'm different Then the other gators😂 😭
Love your videos with Casper x
Sorry I'm late my son was showing me something he made. Great video as always. When people survive anything like alligator attacks or car crash or being struck by lightning or being bit by crocs or venomous snakes shocks me but they never quit doing what they love and that is inspiration.
This video reminds me of the cartoon with the turkey tasting his own leg and saying "oh my god, I am delicious!" 🙂
Hahah i would watch you for hours! Casper is beutiful but you are the pro😎
It's always a pleasure to watch a new video from your channel! And the previous ones rock as well!
Glad you like them!
I love how you are always on point and telling it like it is. Thank you.
Mannnn I know Casper is the friendly gator and all but the way he was staring at George was about to tell it all 🫣🫣Chris called him over just in time 😮💨😮💨
😂
All the best to ur pupil n camera man George! He does a great job.=)
One of your better videos. Watched it twice
Hey thank you!!
Would love to hear stories from your friends, if they're up for telling them or having them told.
What a fighting nightmare
Great video Chris. With regards to your friends who have been bit, am I right in assuming the bites were all on land? Presumably the chance of survival would go waaaaayyyy down if attacked by a gator in the water?
I think I can speak for all your viewers/ fans when I say I would be so interested to hear from some of these friends!!
Ya comparisons need a little work, but cute lil gator
Its like a warzone, You are safe as long as the bullet keep missing you.
Chris I enjoy watching your videos they are both interesting and informative. I've always wondered how George felt being in the water while filming your videos so now I know what it's like seeing it from his perspective too. Great video.
Thanks Chris ❤
🙌
Love your videos 😊
I love how he moves with his eyes - always observing 360 dg.
Thanks for the lesson
🙌
This is such a good video. I cant watch other people that have gators in their videos because all they do is tease them!! You are gentle and smart
Thank you!
Casper has the cutest face tho ❤
When I go out and hunt I feel that same way. Vulnerable. The risk of the forest taking me. The wild game that can take me. My partners think I’m crazy but being out in the forest solo hunting enduring the elements and understanding that anything that can happen humbles me out there. I love it though and do it often!
❤❤
I know this maybe a silly question, but would a full set of knight plate armor do anything in terms of protecting against an alligator bite?
The armor would keep the gator from getting a hold of your flesh, but if it grabbed the armor and rolled, your joints would probably be torn despite not getting those teeth in your flesh.
Yep! Plus I would drown 😂
I have a new worst fear. I guess there’s a reason i don’t work with animals 😂
Your presentation reminds me of a trip to an alligator park somewhere near Weston Florida about 20 years. We rode on airboat ride to an island that had some alligators in a pond. There was an aliligator handler there speaking about the gators and how the water was cool so they were laid back. I was videotaping his presentation and I noticed he was missing several fingers on one hand. I yelled out, embarrassed for doing so, what happened to your hand?. He answered by saying one day he wasn't paying attention and stuck his hand in the water and it got bit. I then asked him....and you came back to work? He gave me a classic answer..."Hey you have to make a living"
Do you have a video on when you have been hunted? If not, maybe that would be a topic you might like to do.
Can Gators sense fear!
Hello and thank you for all the work you do!!! Ive been catching up on your videos a lot lately because I recently moved to a house in central FL on a big lake. We don't see gators daily but we do see them, especially during mating season. We have a dock to a boat and we sometimes see one hanging (small to med size) around the doc, tho very rarely. We want to swim but don't know if its safe. Do you recommend we stay out, or is there anything we can do to ensure, or at least highly decrease, our probability of any unwanted encounter? When I see them by the dock, I go out there and they swim away. I scaring them off a good idea? I know I am asking a lot and your knowledge is valuable so l'm also going to look into your crocodilian behavior course! TYSM
Best Advice: Don't get your hours in from the same groups that trained Chandler.
Imagine, seriously -take a moment, and think about jumping on an adult Cuban Crocodile in a murky pond with ZERO VISIBILITY.
That video maybe the biggest "L" in exotic wildlife keeping that exists.
We have a professor at the college I work with highlight that video for his students. As well as taking a venomous bite in India, using up over 20+ vials of anti-venom that could've gone to a poor native, and proceeds to return to the states to MAKE FUN of the Dr.s in India that treated him.
I will continue to point out who the biggest threats are to the hobby, and several are in Florida.
Chandler even went out of his way to make a CLOWN video where he struggled to use safe handling protocols.
Lastly, before anyone argues, there are over 50 ACCREDITED zoological facilities in the US with the EXACT same species that Chandler and Tyler own, and they don't have the problems that Chandler and Tyler have had.
It's embarassing. 🧐
I actually worry about Chandler. He seems to have a death wish. He didn’t continue the good training Chris was doing with Aries and Miss Toothy. They’re back acting super wild, and it scares me. I hoped the Miss Toothy bite and the snake bite that cost him part of his finger might have calmed him down? Made him be more careful and safe? 😢
So, we’re supposed to ignore the fact that George is a dime piece, huh?
Yes! I saw where Chandler needed 24 vials of cobra anti venom when he got bit in India and still has heart issues right now, months later from the venom. The world is not a Disney ride, up in the BWCA in Mn, there is no off button, no ride attendant to save you if you do something dumb. I was hiking once in the deep woods up there, heard a squeal or squeak, then jaw chomping and huffing…I had in-verdantly made a baby bear go up a tree, the mom was mad and chomping at me…so I slowly backed out and made noise with a stick. I looked at a birch tree next to me and it had claw marks on it, right about head height. I didn’t get bit because I watched a few TH-cam videos about bear behavior, and knew not to panic or run. Went to town and had a beer after that. So yes, know your environment and know what’s in it, and what to do if you run across it
Why do I also really love the fact that I am just meat for predators
See I want to go into a career working with predators like crocodiles
Does he feel your mood when you enter his mini-lake? Do you have to avoid the space if you're a bit frustrated or nervous?
I don't see Seven anymore. Is he still around?
I’ve seen him on Paul’s channel. Gator boys outdoors, I believe. Since Chris is working on the new sanctuary, he doesn’t get to film all the gators he used to, because he’s only there on weekends, doing Casper tours.
Hey George is cute!!
Nice job. You spat in the face of death.
i have made videos explaining real open minded people will lose the ego, they will see the world not as a personal attack, they dont need to feel like they are better than others
Why doesn’t he attack them?
Bro not gonna lie that looks fake
Is it even legal to be in the water ?
