@@GatorChris_ Yes😂 A question for you Chris: I know that you love the crocs and they don’t love you back🫡 got it. I just wonder WHY they can’t ”love” or feel affection/bond? 🤔Is it impossible for them or a choice they make? I am fascinated with how deeply you love them, despite the fact that they see you as their possible chicken nugget if crisis strikes😅🙈
Akila has interesting "armor plating," on right between her front legs. It almost looks like a panel that where the power supply is...😂 I'm also noticing how tapered her jaw/snout is compared to the alligators. She does look pretty full. She's loving life at Bellowing Acres. You can always tell which prairie dog Poppy is because petting him disables him🤣🤣 The way Cheeky stared at you...don't mess with Cheeky! Wow! The fungus that takes over the carpenter ant's mind....that sounds just horrible! Poor tortoise. So sorry she's suffered so, but so glad she is now safe and well cared for. SO exciting planning the new ponds. Such exciting times for you! I love watching your enthusiasm. Thank you for the always interesting and engaging vlog!
WTG Chris and Gabby on saving these Animals I have learned a lot about Alligators and the Nile Crocodile to stay away and Gabby please wear boots you will be glad you did especially if a snake is around safety first.
Akila is fast on land even though she's chonky today🤣❤️🐊 Will be super interesting to see the results of the Laguon for the alligators! Thanks Chris for editing these vlogs and uploading!!❤️🐊
Bellowing Acres is simply love, pure and true love, and nothing but -and it's really fing cool, my gratitude at yous both, and everybody who helps you out!
Amazing how fast Akila is. Such a huge difference from the alligators. The bowl of sleeping prairie dogs is so precious. Poppy is so adorable, especially, always wanting pets.
Akila's speed on land is amazing 😱. And Julie, so smart, has understood that she has to keep her mouth open to receive a bigger ration! They are all amazing in their own way, and you guys for taking such good care of them all. And congratulations on Gaston ❤
Welcome Loretta, the Russian tortoise. I am so sorry you have shell rot and are sick. We are all praying for you sweet girl and Chris and Gabby will give you a heaven to retire in. Blessings!
@GatorChris is sharp as a thumb tack! Foxes are beautiful!! Even Hazel! Seeing Hazel in a different light! 💖💛💖 Poppy and his buddies take the cake. 😎😜😎 Poppy is spoiled. It was however "for me" a little hard to follow the spray paint can!! I have always loved the videos you have produced. I have learned a lot. Welcome Loretta. Hope she can get better soon! Certainly in the best of care!! Have a beautiful Autumn. We have been in a drought most of the Summer and under burn ban in some areas.
Crocodiles are the best watch dogs.... The burgler comes in but not out 😂 I love argila 🐊 Beautiful animal ♥️ Greetings from the Netherlands 🐊🐹🐢 Poppy for president 🐹
You do a great job explaining. Yes there are misconceptions because one over lays behaviors from other animals. Most people were never told this type of info. Keep on repeating it and bring it up so more people are cautious around these amazing animals. Great work both of you
Thanks Chris I am always learning more exciting things from you. I just learned that Toucan's can eat snakes, birds and bats and will hunt them. So cool. It was fun watching Jellybean go for the worms today. Perhaps he is feeling a hankering for protein. Blessings.
Dude I’d love one of the 15 min educational videos you used to do discussing the differences when training alligators versus crocodiles that you’ve noticed. Because I miss those style videos overall, and most people think the two are basically the same animal
Gabby, mint oil, natural repellant. Wearing those leggings and short shorts with confidence and comfort! You can grow your own mint plants and just pull off a spring and rub it on your skin. No gross smells or unnatural chemicals and i used to watch my friends swat themselves like crazy while I relaxed and enjoyed my cocktail. Must have for our fake fall/bonfire season.
Hello Chris and Gabby. Poor Loretta..do you think someone kept her in a horrible tank to get the shell rot then let her go ? Your plans for your land sound great. Thank God for you angels.
Awesome vlog love it Thank you guys you guys are amazing the animals are so beautiful and love how good you are to them and with them hope your enjoying your weekend you guys had a very busy week have a nice night thanks again
Fun to watch you map out the new gator pond! Expansions are exciting. You may have to explain 'controlled burn' for the other side of the property, so people understand the use of it.
I don't know if it could interest you but Kamp Kanen did a stream with multiple enclosure for crocodilians too. That's an aquascape system so the water stays clear and he never has to drain the stream.
I grew up in southern Louisiana. I feel your pain about the mosquitos. a lot of times you can hear them buzzing past the mic. you do have a lot of large bodies of water that are perfect for mosquito breeding. have you ever thought of getting some hardy fish that like to eat mosquito larvae and stock the gator/croc ponds? that might help cut the population in half. I really don't like mosquitos... especially when you go to slap one and pick up your hand and it's covered in blood from many strangers!!! 😬 not a good feeling at all. 🤣
Bingo akila was fast getting that chicken, I can't believe people think that the more you feed them they won't attack that kills me 😂😂😂 but anyway I want to send my condolences for bubbles that is extremely heartbreaking and I am so sorry. The prairie dogs are way too adorable.
Hi Chris and Gabby. Another great vlog, Thank you for sharing as always. I do have a question in regards to Dino I know you said you were power feeding him to try and get him healthy for the next stage in his treatment, how quickly do they gain weight?
@Gator Chris and Gabby. Is clover snake trained? How has she not gotten bit? I’m curious since I imagine there’s snakes there. Also silly question but can a gator get bit by a snake ? If so do they require anti venom ?
I'm obsessed with anything to do with Cordyseps. There was a show called "The Last of Us" where people were being infected by those. It was so creepy because... if it can happen to animals, why not us?
@@susanmartin3762 Given that it acts as a stimulant for the immune system, at some point some form of it probably did have an adverse effect on an ancestor species. Most studies around it with humans are exploring medical applications. One thing to note about it being able to infect humans in the same manner that it does an ant, is that fungi have a much lower mutation rate than viruses do, something like 50,000 times less likely to have a mutation when compared to ebola. So while it is not impossible, the probability of cordyceps mutating to the extent of the game and show you reference without a long chain of intermediaries, in which case we see it coming, is infinitesimal. The nervous system of mammals is more complex compared to the relatively simple nervous system of insects and more difficult to hijack in the same manner as insects.
I came to the channel for the warm blooded animals, and the tortoises, not having much interest in the crocs or gators but have developed a real interest in them. I still don’t ever want to meet one without a good fence b/w us though! I’m sorry to hear about the state of Loretta but hopefully with treatment started she will be able to put on some weight and heal up. Are skunks normally solitary animals? I always find myself wishing your girl had a friend or two but then I wonder if she would actually enjoy that. Or is it just that you haven’t had any offered to the rescue? She is the one I would love to get to spend time with most, even if she bites! Followed closely by the groundhogs.
Ehi Chris, maybe they have already asked you, or maybe I did.. do you think will ever be possibile to have the same kind of physical interaction with Akila, that you have with Bella?!.. p.s. sorry my english sometimes is a little messy..
When you do a controlled burn do you cover the trees with some thing.. why didn’t you do the area that the pens are on now.. wouldn’t help keep the bugs down 😊
Chris, I remember you and Gabby did a Q&A video maybe two years ago because people kept saying Casper didn’t attack you because you kept him well fed. I laughed, but I know it’s frustrating to you to have to keep repeating the same thing over and over. Do you ever feed the parrots sunflower hearts? I know they love millet, but wonder if they liked other seeds as well. You and Gabby enjoy your Sunday. Hugs from Tennessee. 💕
The same question over and over and OVER 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫 especially this one makes me crazy. As for sunflower seed, almost never, they’re like ice cream for birds and are only given as a rare treat
Prairie dogs cuddling in the bowl. Meanwhile Cheeky is building more tunnels.
8:17 Poppy dropping his Monkey Bisket after being petted he fell into a trance haha 😍💛🤎🐒
Love your videos
Hazels eyes are absolutely beautiful
All your rescues are beautiful also
Glad you like them!
I noticed that too.
Poppy could literally have his own channel.....he is hysterical!
😂

Ohhh, Poppy plops over.
I live for it ❤
Poppy is a superstar. Loves the camera.
The Patagonian Maras are interesting creatures 😄
Look kinda like cappybaras but skinnier
Yes. They look like good had s few spare parts left, after creation. I think i can spot deer legs, a bunny nose, capybara body and a guinipig voive.

LOL. That's an awesome demo. Akila is so beautiful and scary.
Haha yep
lol, they are like dyson 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Akila is looking SUPER THICK!! 😂
Akila is fast on land even though she's chonky today🤣❤️🐊 Will be super interesting to see the results of the Laguon for the alligators! Thanks Chris for editing these vlogs and uploading!!❤️🐊
Can't wait!

I really love that we are a part of your dreams! Seeing it unfold into reality is really a treat! Thanks Chris!❤👍
Amazing how fast Akila is. Such a huge difference from the alligators.
The bowl of sleeping prairie dogs is so precious. Poppy is so adorable, especially, always wanting pets.
They can be very fast as well…don’t think they can’t!

Akila she's a pretty just like her mother and fats too just like her mother she's a fast crocodile❤🐊
Love these videos. My day is never complete until I watch all the kids.
Amazing how fast Akila ran up to the Turkey leg and downed it in no time. Wow
Yes, Asami is the sweetest and cuddliest!
Dino loves you, he would never hurt you 🤣🤣🤣 Sorry, I had to do it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
It wouldn't be a real vlog without the bowl pull and hazel up on the fence
Love your content.
Glad to hear it!
Happy you can give Loretta a great home and help her recover :)
"Asami bites! We're going to dump her on someone else!"
Chris: " She's our most cuddly animal!" 😂😂😂😂
😂
I can’t tell them apart until you start petting them poppy will be the one that stops eating and just melts for cuddles
😂
Beautiful creature. She has a healthy feeding response.
Excited for the new crocodilian enclosure. Good luck !
Thank you!
I love Akila, she's a gorgeous girl, but that quick little scurry is terrifying 😳😂
Yep 😂
I quite often wonder how you two still have all your brain cells left looking at all this cuteness everyday🥹
Awww Akila such an energetic one

Prairie dogs need a little hidey-hole type shelter to hang out in or a big bowl!! 🤣🤣
The problem is they chew everything, I’ve been trying to find mini ceramic couches 😂
I want a bowl full of prairie dogs ! Poppy is just the cutest !🥰
Hello Poppy!💜
She’s the size of a house and looks so happy 🥰😂
She is a beautiful crocodile 🐊
I am loving the place it's home for you all ❤

Your knowledge of the jungle is so cool. I like that Gabby said "never" to good foot wear :)
You have the coolest job ever.
Much love from Texas
Thank you!

Whoof. I saw the short of how fast Gaston is. Akila says 'hold my beer'.
You have cordyceps in Florida? Okay I'm never visiting. 🍄🧟♂️😱
00:26 that crack and satisfaction on her face haha

That’s amazing you found that ant! Must be rare to see

An Akila knows but, just does not care.
I always figured you could use the second 20 to build your mega-lagoon.
Hi Chris and Gabby. Another great vlog, Thank you for sharing as always. I do have a question in regards to Dino I know you said you were power feeding him to try and get him healthy for the next stage in his treatment, how quickly do they gain weight?
Thanks! It’ll likely take months
keep the videos going broo
Been a long time since we've seen a double fox playdate....
Crocodilians will hide the bodies in caches, so they have food to eat later. Akila is a young growing girl, too, so she’s gonna be more hungry.
Oh wow, I didn't realize that about toucan diet. I think that's the first time I've seen the worms chosen that I can remember.
😯😳😳 First time seeing a Cordyseps in real life.
So cool!
Why don’t you have a sloped area in the gator ponds so there is less chance of you falling in? A shallow entry and exit point?
Akila really looks a bit overfed now... 😅
@Gator Chris and Gabby. Is clover snake trained? How has she not gotten bit? I’m curious since I imagine there’s snakes there. Also silly question but can a gator get bit by a snake ? If so do they require anti venom ?
Cordyceps has always fascinated me, was surprised to learn that one species that affects ants is found as far north as South Carolina and Japan.
I'm obsessed with anything to do with Cordyseps. There was a show called "The Last of Us" where people were being infected by those. It was so creepy because... if it can happen to animals, why not us?

I'm with Gabby on this. Florida is way too hot to be wearing pants and heavy shoes.
Carpenter ant needs to be reported to the CDC because a new horror movie is clearly about to be released.

Petri is too afraid to land on me, maybe eventually he will

When you do a controlled burn do you cover the trees with some thing.. why didn’t you do the area that the pens are on now.. wouldn’t help keep the bugs down 😊
