Man you two have come a long way from the gatorboys! I love that you guys have a sanctuary now and those animals now have homes!! Love what you guys are doing and kudos to you for throwing your life savings at it for those amazing animals. Incredibly humble!!
Chris, Bella is beautiful. Congratulations on your first swim. I’m so glad she now lives in your sanctuary. Thank you for saving her from a terrible fate. 💕🐊
I watched about 10 seconds of this last night before going to bed, thinking this was Casper. Now watching the full clip, I'm amazed at how Chris can do this. I find it funny he said, 'Don't expect to see a video with her for weeks or months,' and he does it not even a couple of days later. This dude knows his stuff. Can't wait for Bella merch in the future.
I said the same exact thing!! That makes me feel better coz I though I must have imagined Chris saying that, so thankyou for validating I really heard Chris saying that. 😊
I’ve been so excited to see your first time swim with Bella. When you said weeks, I can’t believe it’s been days. You’re amazing with what you do. I watch your vlogs everyday.
You had mentioned it was going to take a while to get her calm down enough to start training. I should have known better. This is after all Chris the magnificent. Gator Man extraordinaire. Thanks for sharing these first moments with us. Enjoy and again thanks for your love and respect for all of God's creatures.
shes is beautiful, congratulations Chris, she is now safe, healthy and hopefully she will get used to her new new encloser, we all know she will be healthy and well looked after, your doing amazing work and we thank you for sharing her journey with us.
Being from New York City , a 9 year transplant , bcuz of your videos I have a new respect and appreciation for alligators. I gave to say tho I’m still not a fan of crocs

Very impressive thank you for sharing this I've been looking forward to this and I'm looking forward to when you can actually bring people there so I can come and tour your property and every time I want to go donate I can't find you on Facebook for some reason it might not be putting the wrong name right names in it's okay you guys get funny I'll donate when I get there I look forward to meeting all the animals and the both of you and of course Bella I love her name lol
I guess this comes from gators naturally wanting to pretend they dont exist so other things dont notice/get bored of them. And them being highly calibrated ambush killing machines, so if you know where the triggers are you can avoid setting them off. Interesting to watch. If you look closely you can tell Bella isnt as relaxed in this interaction as Casper would be, since she hasnt been habituated to it yet.
Man, you guys and that shark girl in Hawaii, ya’ll are advancing mankind for real. Without a question educating people. Your skilled and intuitive pursuit to communicate, understand and make good is what the world desperately needs more of. Keep up the great work. God Speed! SUBSCRIBED!!!!
Such a beauty! I'm glad you're able to start to work with her, and get her accustomed to you, but after yesterday saying it would be weeks before we'd even see her that now it's safe for you to work with her?
No it’s not safe at all. This is handling of a completely wild animal. It will likely be weeks before I can do training work with her. This is just wild animal handling skills
She's lovely man. Got a question tho. What criteria do you use to catch gators? Weak ones? Starving ones? Or perhaps the ones not in a good location? Or anything scally goes?😂
I believe he works with nuisance gators - gators in problematic spaces or have been hand-fed and lost their fear of humans and thus become a danger to them. they cannot go back into the wild due to that they will return exactly where they were captured.
Remember you told us not to expect you to show us this gator "for a long long time". That her 1st encounter with humans was a horrible one and she needed more time to settle down. Well... here you are 3 days later doing the "Gator Dance" with Bella. She literally looks like she's either drunk or sleeping, 😅😅 i love the name Bella. I'm curious how you and Gabby come up with your names for your critters? They're always great names!
Why would you put yourself at risk by working with alligators and crocodiles? Do you ever have any fear of them at all? I'm not trying to be rude. I truly want to understand what drives you to do this. Most people would be terrified. You always seem so calm and make it look so easy, like there's nothing to it. Also, have you ever been bitten before? Thanks in advance! Hope you have a wonderful day and God bless! 🙏😊
dunno what you have there around the glassses but that's gonna get your head ripped off one day.... it's swimming so much around that lateral side of the mouth ....
This is awesome.. but...i have to be honest... all I can think about is... are all those "things" on the bottom of this pool alligator 💩..I think it is BUT...For Chris's sake I hope they're leaves. Having said that.. this man is a God to me. His behavior around his animals is the best I've ever seen...Steve Irwin would be so proud. All these guys grew up watching Steve. He was their Idol. I hear them talk about Steve all the time. What a great role model he was😢...I was DEVESTATED when he was killed. This generation of croc and gator "hunters/life savers is awesome❤
It's for the people, who look at videos like this and think to themselves: Oh look, it's actually super easy to swim with Alligators. I wish i could have one as a pet and do that too. That would be so cool

"Ma'am may I please have this dance"
Gator: "fiiiiiiine but I'm not helping"
😂
😅😂😅 here's another answer from Bella, 'Only if you let me lead!"😊
Definitely starting to see why some Florida locals call them “swamp puppies” now 🐶
I was always fond of swamp kitty.
Us Louisiana natives are also fond of our swamp puppies 🐊
Congratulations on your first swim in the new pond with the new gator! Bella is beautiful!

It’ll probably be weeks to do training, but this is just handling a wild animal

You and Gabby are so amazing! I love watching all of your videos.
Damn Chris you can really hold your breath for long time too!
Omg dude I’m the dumbest boy in school. It didn’t even occur to me that he has to be holding his breath 😔
shes is beautiful, congratulations Chris, she is now safe, healthy and hopefully she will get used to her new new encloser, we all know she will be healthy and well looked after, your doing amazing work and we thank you for sharing her journey with us.
That is so amazing, she is gorgeous. Welcome Bella
Yikes!! You're a brave man. I know you've been around them for years.
Your videos are just amazing.
Being from New York City , a 9 year transplant , bcuz of your videos I have a new respect and appreciation for alligators. I gave to say tho I’m still not a fan of crocs
This young man sounds completely normal, but surely what he's doing is borderline insanity? 🐊

This just shows how in control of the situation you are. Kudos to you! This is magnificent ❤

Chris you are something else my friend… Pretty amazing
Skills! 🙌🏼🐊
🙌🐊
I remember being told at Gatorland, that they will be so calm and floaty underwater to not disturb possible food.
Man, you guys and that shark girl in Hawaii, ya’ll are advancing mankind for real. Without a question educating people. Your skilled and intuitive pursuit to communicate, understand and make good is what the world desperately needs more of. Keep up the great work. God Speed!
SUBSCRIBED!!!!
she is so cute love her❤
Damn, how can you walk with balls that size? Incredibly brave
Soooo excited for you and Gabby!!!! Congrats on taking another step towards your dreams!!
Thanks!!
Thank God you have rescued her now she's got a beautiful sanctuary home that alligator 🐊😍
This man must be an alligator himself to be able to breath underwater like that with no equipment 😂
those claws look fearsome
you're built bro, genuinely. good lord, the green lighting does you justice😂
Love that you and Gabby chose Bella for her name. Bella in Bellowing Acres❣️😁
Water 🦕 🦖 literally
Such a beauty! I'm glad you're able to start to work with her, and get her accustomed to you, but after yesterday saying it would be weeks before we'd even see her that now it's safe for you to work with her?
No it’s not safe at all. This is handling of a completely wild animal. It will likely be weeks before I can do training work with her. This is just wild animal handling skills
Maybe she is asleep under water, explaining the calmness?
I am thinking you are nuts Chris. No disrespect ❤
😍 her little hands and feet
❤❤❤❤you have a gift she trusts you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She is beautiful ❤❤❤
You truly are a alligator/crocodile pro, this is extremely impressive!😍🙏
OMG this is amazing!
It will be fun to watch the process the longer you have her. :)
Gators and crocs act torally differe t under water then on land. Doesnt mean they are docile they just dont see well underwater
Amazing Chris, so happy for you!
She is a beautiful gator...oh I mever would think they wouldn't attack.but like you Chris you know what your doing❤❤
How cool, in your own pond..❤
This is soooo dang cool! She does look very chill. ❤
Bro is really trying to define communications with alligators 😅😅😅
She's lovely man. Got a question tho. What criteria do you use to catch gators? Weak ones? Starving ones? Or perhaps the ones not in a good location? Or anything scally goes?😂

I'm curious how you and Gabby come up with your names for your critters? They're always great names!
The question is. How did you practice to train them. The doos and the donts with the first one you trained.
omg this is so exciting. so happy for Bellowing Acres and Bella! love to you all
She is in heaven and knows to behave if she wants to stay. 😂😂😂😂😂
I can’t understand why people are so thrilled to see a man risking his life, as he says a simple wrong gesture can make this alligator biting you
Chill. He runs a sanctuary. He’s helping these animals.
you can’t understand why people like watching something interesting and unique that you are also watching???😂😂😂
Amazing 👏
Blessings❤❤❤❤❤❤. And she ate two whole chickens!
I'll leave dancing with aligators to the professionals.
Welcome Bella!!
Wow awesome sweet
Wow Chris amazing work, has she started to feed yet? Assuming so if you're in the water with her? pardon my ignorance.
Amaze🎉
Oh wow! Had to look hard to find TH-cam links so worth it (learning)
Bella just trying to hit up Publix 😅
Welcome Bella!!@
Amazing
How did you enter the water? Was she in the water when you entered?
Wow! That is amazing!!
That’s remarkable
❤❤❤❤
So cool
This man is staring death in the face and spitting on it.
Wow, that's incredible! What an expert you are!
Beautiful animal ♥️ and respect.
Wow
She's beautiful 🙂
Wow!! Amazing!! ❤🐊❤
Can't believe my eyes 😯 this is only three days! You're the expert 👌
Bella's was just upset they interrupted her shopping trip. She heard they had boots.
Why would you put yourself at risk by working with alligators and crocodiles? Do you ever have any fear of them at all? I'm not trying to be rude. I truly want to understand what drives you to do this. Most people would be terrified. You always seem so calm and make it look so easy, like there's nothing to it.

Instructions unclear I am missing two fingers
BE AWARE PEOPLE , BY NO MEANS DOES THE OWNER OF THE VIDEO RECOMMEND DOING THIS TO RANDOM GATORS!
Those arms tho
dunno what you have there around the glassses but that's gonna get your head ripped off one day.... it's swimming so much around that lateral side of the mouth ....
😢awww poor alligator 🐊!!!
Good luck with Bella ....better you than me 😃
Her coloring seems dark?
Let me know when the Chris movie comes out.
Can you show us a video where you actually need air
This is awesome.. but...i have to be honest... all I can think about is... are all those "things" on the bottom of this pool alligator 💩..I think it is BUT...For Chris's sake I hope they're leaves.
Having said that.. this man is a God to me. His behavior around his animals is the best I've ever seen...Steve Irwin would be so proud. All these guys grew up watching Steve. He was their Idol. I hear them talk about Steve all the time. What a great role model he was😢...I was DEVESTATED when he was killed. This generation of croc and gator "hunters/life savers is awesome❤
One day will miss this dude 😢
Nah. He's been doing this well over a decade. Professional for a reason.
@@kellevichy oh really what about Steve Irwin ??? Nah you don’t know who I’m talking about… google it.
I would have a full set of armor with an xtra underlayer of chainmail on.
Can I pet that dawggg
This is insane. You’re just giving stupid bright (but deadly) ideas
Why do all of these just cut off mid sentences?
What are your goals in being around her at this stage of interaction, what is next?
Why?
We get it. It’s very dangerous and you think that we should all be wowed
It's for the people, who look at videos like this and think to themselves: Oh look, it's actually super easy to swim with Alligators. I wish i could have one as a pet and do that too. That would be so cool
Imagine if that little piece of debris floated by his biting spot, his face would look like he got cheese grated lmao
Why
🧢🧢🧢
WHAT???
Hope you are paid up on your life insurance !!
That Gator so doped up it could barely move Sir stop the BS
