15 foot Crocodile in Costa Rica

- We had the incredible opportunity to fly down to Costa Rica, and work with a few rescued American Crocodiles at Greentique Wildlife Refuge! Chris has been working with this facility as a consultant for a few years, and this time I was able to assist him! It was absolutely beautiful! We also got to meet FOUR DAY OLD BABY CROCODILES! Today, we’ll be showing a little bit of the training process and introducing you to some of the animals!
Chris speaks to these Goliaths in such a calm and soothing voice. It's no wonder how soon the Crocs and Gators accept him.
Chris and Gabby are wonderful! So much more authentic and genuine than the self-aggrandizing, exaggerated, constantly posing, and egotistical Crocodile Hunter.
The scene with Chris reuniting with Elliott was pretty awesome. I also loved to see the baby crocodiles.
My favorite TH-cam page on these awesome modern dinosaurs!
Very well done Costa Rica for helping the herps. Muy bien.
This is really amazing. I am really impressed. I’m really glad that him and Gabby are making a difference with these crocodiles. They are just two of the nicest people. Thanks for taking care of the crocodiles.😊
It’s nice to see that Elliot gently grabs the food out of Chris’ hand, instead of violently nabbing it.
Meek would be why it’s a blessed gift from heaven so men cannot understand it but this gator will live forever I can tell you that!
I love how well done this is. You can tell it was done with hard work!!! Love it.
Thanks!!
No doubt you definitely know what you are doing very few people can do that
Yes I agree very good work!
The scary thing about crocks and gators is they have no facial expression so you cant tell what mood they in.
Just respect them and keep your distance regardless of their mood haha...
Theyre always in kill mode. 1 mode only.
You read their body language and eye dilation. Follow Gatorland and you will learn these things.
Getting them out of the water is huge, that’s where they feel safe so to come way out on land like that shows a lot of trust !
The baby crocodiles are cute.
I love this couple.. 😊
Thanks!
Literally my favorite youtube channel you guys kill it every video! By the way im the one who told you that you both inspired me to clean up my local beach with my son and we did it! We felt so good about it afterwards thank you both so much for being amazing teachers for not only me but my 10yr old son as well!
Awww thanks so much! That’s so awesome you did a beach cleanup! ❤️❤️❤️
Thats awesome bro! Teach them young to love nature!
Amazing video. Eliot and Paco are examples par excellence of how crocodiles can be preserved for the benefit of not just them, but for us humans as well. These magnificent animals deserve to be recognized and respected for what they are; apex predators at the top of their food chain. 🐊
Very cool watching work with these animals.
I went with a friend of mine to Costa Rica two years ago and we had the greatest venture and we went to that place it was fabulous. I was so impressed because I love crocodiles and alligators I love all animals. We had gone on that road and watched the crocodiles from the top of the road all around and got great pictures. And then we got to go to that sanctuary. You guys are great. I wish all people could care as much as you do. I’m heavy into animal rescue but especially greyhounds. And I feel very happy that I was a big part of getting Racing ended in Florida. Now Concentrating on ending animal fighting which is just horrendous. Keep up the good work.
Did i ask?
@@mercuryinhaler547 I’m thinking you didn’t ask
Animal fighting you are correct, its terrible and extremely inhumane, but on the topic of greyhound racing, those dogs truly love racing, of course when the owner loves them as they should. When the owner doesnt care about the dog unless they’re winning races and money is terrible and im definitely against it, but ive seen greyhounds after retirement that dont even want to retire! Ive even seen videos of greyhounds that fight against the leash when they try to leave the track! So there really are 2 sides to it, just like dock diving, some dogs love it and some dont and the owner needs to learn to respect what the dog wants, not what they want.
Best of luck with ending animal fighting. I have been a fighter myself and it is stressful on fight day with a crowd watching. It is hard on the body too and we only get one. Not the sort of thing any animal should be coerced or forced to do.
@@mercuryinhaler547 This is TH-cam. If people making comments, which is a big part of what TH-cam's all about, is going to be a problem for you, then TH-cam isn't for you.
Didn't know all this things about my country. Really good video.
!Pura vida!🇨🇷
Chris is an awesome trainer!! You can see that the crocs truly trust him and know that they are in good hands with him... im actually very excited and glad to learn about these creatures... for a very long time i have had phobia of crocs and alligators but now, i dont feel like that anymore and would love to one day visit Florida and swim with Casper..
Greetings from sunny SW Florida.. Thank you from the ones with no voice and from someone who has devoted a large part of their life to exotic and domestic animal rescue
Costa Rica is awesome. I was there for 9 years and I miss it.
Those Crocodiles are so cool
Im from Costa Rica, next time you come over you should visit the Wildlife Center Snake Garden! I would love to see an educational video featuring all those snakes!
Some really sweet crocs!
I think the crocodiles feel Chris is gentle to them too.
WOW Kris 💞💞💞, from Philippines, when you touch crocs ,i have mix emotions, im scared about you , unpredictable move of crocs and happy when successfully tame the beast ,WOW 💞💞💞✔️
Patience pays off.
I love the way y’all handle y’all’s animals, it’s truly amazing to watch 😍🌎 y’all are good people 💖
Thank you so much!
Amazing watching you guys.. very awesome
That Croc looks like he could have been an extra on the set of Jurassic Park.
You are amazing Chris!! I mean wow! I enjoy watching your videos so much. Thank you for sharing your amazing life with us!
New too this from JRE he mentioned 15ft crocodile in Costa Rica
You guys came up
And I’m definitely loving your content great job! I’m a new fan for sure now.
Absolutely incredible Chris......you make it look easy when its anything but easy very impressive
I respect the hell out of all life and I have to admit that alligators are adorable, but you’d never catch me anywhere near a croc! Those babies though! Mad respect for Chris with these awesome creatures!
Elliot and Praco! Awwwww! Beautiful Crocodiles! 🐊 🐊 😘😘💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
@@pauljohnleadbeater5533 I bet!!!!😇😇💚❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You guys are so inspiring and I am also looking to get into the field I am currently working with birds of prey but would love to get into reptiles specifically Alligators and Crocodiles. Thank you for doing what you do it’s so very important to help and protect these animals
Thank you! And birds of prey are so awesome!
Awesome 🇬🇧🏴
I'm really glad to see the channel on TH-cam. Much respect for you two and thanks for educating people about these unique animals.
A long time ago, since the beginning of time, in a dense forest lived a man who was friends with all the animals of the forest. At that time there were no winters on the planet, so all the joys of summer were always in everyday life. Animals were different from different parts of the planet, the benefit of the entire planet was covered by the primordial forest.
All the animals were happy to communicate with humans, and every day was filled with joy and fun. But, the time came when man became sad. There were no visible reasons for sadness and sorrow, and the animals didn't know how to help their friend...They all gathered on the big forest glade in front of the man and were silently near him.
Suddenly the silence of the forest was broken by the beautiful singing of birds. All present at once directed their eyes to the side from which the beautiful melody was coming: a girl was coming out of the forest. The beauty of her soul was much more beautiful than birds' melodies and at the same time it was a part of general beauty of the surrounding world.
The sadness and sorrow of the man touched her soul ... The man began to say: I love you all very much. With each of you I like to play, I love to stroke you, caress you and just be near. But now I am saddened by the fact that when I play with one I leave the other unattended. I dream of feeling love all the time to give it to all of you.
The woman approached the man and bound him in her arms. The man's hands touched her waist, breasts, and then his hands went to her face, and at the same moment their lips joined in a long kiss.
Their planet was bypassed by wars, so the continents were one big continent and weightlessness was on the surface...The joyful cry of a man: I will unite you all into one whole ! living and eternal ! Our love will create planets...A misty haze appeared over the forest clearing and, at the same hour, all the animals hovered in the air, and then slowly began to rise up.
Thus was born the planetary body of the man-man. Every creature for a pair, in the image and likeness of the human body all the animals gathered into one human-like body. Slowly, but with incredible beauty of all the female specimens a female planetary body was assembled. They were holding hands with the planetary body of a man and the planetary body of a woman, they had eternal and imperishable love for each other...
The baby croc is so damn cute but looks as if it's heavily judging me LOL
Wow!!! Didn’t know this was possible with crocodiles !!!
There was an old Costa Rican man who had one in a pond. He swam with it, hand fed it, washed it, and it lived a long time. The man loved it and made money showing it to tourists. He was famous. I remember when the croc died and the man cried on the news. That croc was totally tame with him.
Love the info you guys present in all your videos! This trip looked amazing!
Thank you! We had so much fun!!
I recently came across your channel. I find Chris and Gabby very informative. I love your videos. Thank you.
You guys have the best job! Thanks for the videos
Just heard about this page from Chris and I’m in heaven!!!! I can’t wait to view every single video there is and then talk about it with my classmates! You guys are awesome! Crocs and gators have a bad wrap but all they need is a little TLC CONSISTENCY SND WAYVH HOW COMFORTABLE THEY REACT to HUMANS.
Elliot is a legend!
Amazing people dedicated to amazing conservation and taking care of these amazing animals! I definitely recommend subscribing and watching all their videos!
Thanks so much!!!
You have my respect Sir.... Truly fascinating and amazing creatures.
This is awesome! Love watching all your adventures and learning new things! 🐊🌍
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
So great! You guys really love nature and it shows.
Thank you!!
Great vid!
That was so awesome to see.
This is really awesome. I wanna go to this place if I’m ever in CR!
Wow, thanks so much for your video, I really enjoyed and appreciated learning about crocs and seeing you handling them with care and attention and showing how they can be calm and gentle and peaceful with the right treatment. I just found this channel after watching some "gater guys" seriously maltreating the gators they claimed to be rescuing and handling them so badly one guy even got bit, so it's a calming relief to come here instead seeing happy humans and happy crocs interacting peacefully and harmoniously instead! 😊🙏👍
Such great insight into the natural history and behavior of the American crocodile. It’s amazing how south Florida is the farthest they extend north. Can’t wait to see some myself if I can 😱
They are so amazing!
Loved the video !! Thanks for sharing..
Love the video in so glad you guys were able to go
Thanks, we had so much fun!
That baby croc is cute!
You guys are awesome!
Thank you!
I'd love to see the backstory on your gators. You and Chris are doing a great and informative job on gators and crocs. BTW Target aka Jessica said y'all need to do a coffee run before you clean her swimming area. 🤣❤❤🐊🐍🐢
Hahahaha! We plan on doing a few “meet the gators” videos in the future!!
@@pauljohnleadbeater5533 It’s three hours away from us. Chris has been at the outpost for over 10 years, and that’s where he does his Casper tours. Gatorland is an awesome place though!
I love the fact that you are not even scared😮😮
Gabby, you're so fine!!!! Damn your dude is lucky! He better be treating you like the Queen you are! ;)
As a Costa Rican , it’s sad we don’t see this many crocodiles any more cause pollution
Por dicha la pandemia cancelo este par de años la tal Lagarteada
Don't we? Are infinity
@@byroncascante6088 huh ?
New sub! Love your content. Fantastic couple
5:14 look this little guy 🤩
Todos muy impresionados al verlos en pantalla pero vengan a verlos en persona y se les va a poner la piel de gallina
I love watching all of your videos. I’ve seen other croc shows and they don’t seem as “nice” to the captured crocs as you are. Plus, in Australia they have feral pigs, each croc gets large parts of the pigs to eat, which is way more than you seem to feed your gators and crocs. Does this mean they are over feeding theirs?
This is AMAZING!
Thanks!
This channel is addicting.
Hi guys
I found tis very enjoyable and I actually didn’t know there was an American Crocodile!
I thought we only had crocodiles here in Australia 🇦🇺 !
Thanks very informative.👍
Amazing wow….🤩
Love all your content! Your so inspiring! I have used your information to help teach my students. Thank you for educating and putting out the facts!
Thank you so much for the support! ❤️❤️❤️🐊🐊🐊
Have Many Interests
YOUR Clips are Among them.
Interesting, Informative and
Great 👁Footage. Always Cool.🐊
Soooooooooooooo sweet those babies
Awesome 😎
2:51 Ohhhhh, that is a very neat way of being able to keep territorial animals in one enclosure.
Awesome 🤩
Well that was crazy
Amazing to watch your interaction with these animals. I don’t think I’ve missed it, but have you considered a video showing the training process, from an initial interaction to the stage where you have an established confident relationship with the alligator/crocodile? You’re obviously an experienced professional and this process is not for the average human. Still, amazing this is possible given for instance, there is no apparent body language. Thanks for what you guys do for the animals and educating viewers.
Amazing
Wow never new crocodiles were native to the united states . I thought only alligators were. Learn something new everyday
The baby crocodile seems to be about the same size as a bearded dragon. Crazy that they go from about that size up to apex predator status.
Love ya….stay safe ❤️‼️❤️🇺🇸❤️‼️
Love these critters….
You guys are awesome. P.S. Gabby be thicc lmao jp keep up the good work!
Chris, you should offer your services to Highschools, to teach the teachers how to make the students docile
Ever run into my bud M. Harris. He goes to Costa Rica and Panama all the time. Breeds bushmasters and other vipers.
Yes, Beautiful 2:35
I wonder if you guys would be able to do a documentary? Surely there must be demand!
Damn it brave couple
Crocodile Key is a cool place.
Can someone give these two a show on Discovery already?
It looks and sounds like an amazing place to visit! But that list of spicy noodles at the end is a bit intimidating. I think I'll stick to enjoying the beauty via videos XD
America's Steve Irwin!
The difference between a croc and a alligator is one will see you later and the other after awhile
Chris is turning killing crocodiles into cuddling buddies.
How much damage could the 4 day old do if they bit you? How about the 1 year old?
you play a very dangerous game my friend
Amo mis Crockiesss We need to take care more about fresh water sources specially those which flows within cities...
Very clever... gets the animal to associate food with being touched under the chin.
Cool beans
