Watching you climb onto Dino's back is exceptional itself, but to watch you hold on to him, talking to him, you were very obviously calming him down, with what I will forever refer to as, "The Voice". I can see his muscles in his back legs relax. When you gently stroked his head and said, "It's Ok Buddy.. you're OK." .. it makes me want to cry. I feel like I'm watching a Martial Artist or a dance instructor because of how you like.. become one with him.. and all of your other animals. When you talk to them, you say each and every one of that names. You give each of them those few precious moments of "one on one attention". It doesn't have to be long, it just had to BE. You're never in a hurry or trying to rush through feeding. You honestly enjoy feeding all of them. It's quite something to see. You are a Master. I've only seen one other human being able to communicate and calm down an an extremely strong and violent Crocodillian.. and it was Steve Irwin. I can see NO difference in the way he worked with his big Crocs and his other animals. . You have that touch. You have "The Voice"...Dino has really touched my❤...i know in a few months, he's going to be back to, as my Dad would say, back to his "Fighting Weight". He'll be feeling just great, and loving his life with a girlfriend or 2 and it will all be because of you and Gabby❤ You truly love what you do and that makes all of us love you so much... You're just something else!
Thank you so much! That is one of the kindest comments I have ever gotten and made me tear up a little, thank you so much!! ❤️
What a beautiful comment and it made me tear up. I love watching Chris interact with the animals. We can tell he genuinely loves and cares for each one. I’ve always had a love for apex predators and it’s so amazing to watch Chris work with crocodilians. Whether he’s handling a dangerous alligator or cuddling a prairie dog, he shows the same love and care.
Think you just about summed up why we are al here for this journey 🥰❤️🥰
@@GatorChris_Chris, you are an inspiration and role model. You and Gabby are living my dream! I’m 36 and almost disabled; this summer I will be undergoing brainstem decompression surgery, and my whole future is up in the air right now. You know what keeps me going? Caring for my dog, and my three box turtles, and YOUR videos. I want you to know…you and Gabby aren’t just making a difference in these animals lives…you are making a difference in people’s lives too. I’ve never met you personally (would love to one day), but I feel a strong connection to you, and just wanted to say, thanks for the hope you inspire! Keep up the great work, brother!!!
@@Mini_Kong_Dino So sorry to hear about your health issues. I pray the surgery is successful. I agree with you. Chris and Gabby are living my dream. It would be wonderful to have a wildlife sanctuary on several acres. No humans for miles, just animals. I’m glad you have some pets to keep you company. They can make a world of difference in our mental and physical health. Have a blessed day.
I worked at a vet clinic in Lisle Illinois as a receptionist where Dr. Colbert worked for a while. He was a fantastic vet, it’s so great to see him there. 😊
Aw that’s awesome!
SO COOL!
Reminder to viewers. If you love Chris and Gabby's work and want to help them and all the animals you see in the vlog but can't donate money, watching your advertisements fully, and interacting with the video with likes comments and shares is also a great way to contribute to Bellowing Acres. 💚
If you read this, i hope you have a really good day.
❤
I love how Chris is cooing to this 12 foot dinosaur just like i do my pets at the vet. "It's okay, buddy. It’s okay"
And take care of yourself Chris! The animals need you ❤
Aw thank you
This should earn likes from every person who watches it and also full ad viewing (like every video from Bellowing Acres). Chris, Gabby and the sanctuary deserve our full support! #respect
Thank you!
Loved the long video today. Great stuff with the vet and getting Dino some fluids and broad spectrum antibiotics. The day never ends with you guys. It really is a 24 hour commitment that deserves serious recognition and respect! 🙏 Looking forward to the next video to see how Dino is doing. Also it was interesting to see how shy Akila was when other people showed up. They are much more smarter then most people give them credit for.
Thank you!
I’m glad that you found a vet that will come out to your sanctuary to check on your animals
Me too lol
This vet is so incredible. Hope we get to see him more. So educational thoughChris and Gabby you both do an incredible job on your own
I am honestly in awe of all the sciencey info I am getting from your vet visit. So interesting and lovely. Thank you for sharing.
I think you’ve found a good veterinarian, he seems very knowledgeable and compassionate.
Yes he was great!!
I agree 100% with both of their assessments and course of treatment.
These animals won the lottery when they were rescued and cared for by these fantastic humans.
I am a native Floridian and I have to tell you Chris and Gabby that I am absolutely enthralled with this video and you deserve so much respect for the love and compassion that you are showing these creatures. Thank you!
Thank you!!
Awwww sweet Dino.... I just love him and hope that he makes a full recovery. Chris you have completely changed how I see Crocodiles and Alligators. I have so much respect, and affection, [at a distance, of course], for them now! Thank you to you, Gabby, and Dr. Colbert for your tireless care and advocacy for these extraordinary animals. Chris, YOU, with your YEARS upon years of knowledge and experience, not the armchair quarterbacks of the comment section, are the expert. I can't believe people have the nerve to act like they know best. YOU along with the good Doctor's input, absolutely know what's best for these animals. So sorry you have to deal with people's negative commentary. It's a privilege to gain knowledge from your expertise. Heat stroke! Oh man. Please take care of you too!
Thank you so much!!
Amazing work you all are doing and thank you for sharing!! Also shout out to Public’s for donating what so many companies just toss out!! Good to see that all being used for a positive!!
Absolutely!! Thank you
Every day I avidly check for an update on Dino. Chris and Gabby have done an amazing job with him, he would not have survived this long without their help/intervention. It must make them feel so good to see him getting a little spicy as it shows he's gaining strength. The sanctuary there has such a great feel to it. Clearly all the animals/birds are happy, well cared for and it's heartwarming to see.
I love seeing all these various vets. It is wonderful to see the community of people who know so much about these creatures and are so kind and focused on them most important in the world. This vet today is not only smart but kind of cute too LOL. Good combination. Hahaha
PS of course nobody is cuter than our Chris. Hahaha😅
If they weren’t intelligent they wouldn’t have been around such a long while. Poor Big Mac…so glad he’s with you. If they survive the initial trauma, it’s amazing how well animals eventually adjust to severe injuries with permanent consequences, including blindness. My own philosophy with my animals has been to do what’s necessary for quality of life and otherwise not subject to additional traumatic procedures unless absolutely necessary. He took quite a hit and I’m impressed by how far he’s come in such a short time. Never ceases to amaze how many “experts” are on the internet. Clearly your years of experience are nothing compared to their uneducated opinions.
Absolutely! Thank you
I hope Publix sees the end of the video and is proud of their contribution. I have 2 kids who work for them and we love the company. Good stuff y’all do!
I wish I lived near and could assist. that would be fun sorting and collecting the donations.
Maybe your kids could mention this to their managers, who could bring it to corporate's attention. Couldn't hurt, might help!
Big Mac says "It's just a flesh wound!" (Monty Python reference for any fellow nerds)
😂
I really look forward to your videos every day - please keep doing them 😊
Thank you! Will do!
Chris please take care of yourself these animals all need you in top condition Gabby too!!!! Thank you to Dr Colbert & Staff for taking such great care of Dino and of course Thank you to you and Gabby Chris the animals really enjoyed there produce feast. appreciate the extra effort it took to film and edit today's episode especially with you not feeling well having heat stroke that's no fun hope your feeling better Thank you for another excellent vlog truly grateful🙌
I’m sitting here in Seattle, eyes welling up with tears, for a gator in Florida…
My goodness I hope he gets better, God bless you and Gabby❤
Aw thank you!
This is my most favorite video that you have ever done. I could have watched two hours of it. I loved every minute listening to the vet talk about Dino's treatment. I also appreciated how efficiently the vet techs worked and how brave they were! I'm fully invested in his care and can't wait to watch his future with you. I will be so worried waiting to hear if he made it back to his pond! The ending was a cliffhanger 😂❤
Thank you!!
If only you could make Dino understand that he's feeling better because you're helping him and there's nothing to fear. Glad your ok
I wish I could explain it to him lol
Big Mac responded to your voice, that was so cool! 💚🐊
Amazing video, so interesting to see the treatment given to Dino. Well done all ❤
This is…just incredible, Chris & Gabby. What a wonderful place you are building. Thank you for everything you do for the animals.
oh il ove when Olaf talks!! really any bord impresses me but he's my favorite bird.
He talks all the time I just rarely get it in video 😂
Dr colbert seems like an vet that actually really cares for the animals. Great information and great video in general! I know Big Mac will live out its best life at bellowing acres under the care of Chris & Gabby!
these animals would never receive this good care in the wild. They are so lucky to have you caring for them.
Big Mac: i completely agree with just letting the leg be as long as he's staying in the pool only. No point in doing an intense major surgery if it's not affecting his quality of life
Exactly
❤
OMG a gator IV!!! Amazing!!
Well done Dino, he was well behaved during all the medical procedures he had to have. As you said Chris it was good to hear him hiss. Thanks for sharing this in-depth video with us all. Dino is a fighter & will get stronger day by day, with yours & Gabby's help looking after him. 🐊♥️
Thank you for taking care of these amazing animals. As a fellow blind person… I would hate it if I was an alligator and someone took me to a vet. I’d be so stressed out. Also… Make sure you bring a water outside with you so they don’t get heat stroke. :-)
Seems like Dino the Dinosaur is starting to feel better, hope he's doing even better tomorrow! 🥰
The way Chris rode Dino with ease and compassion was impressive. I love how caring you guys are with these beautiful animals. Thank you Chris for explaining how you close the jaw. Always interesting, including to someone who knows nothing about most animals, left alone crocodilians ❤
Thank you very much!
You can tell that Dino is doing better than he was. Hopefully the meds and vitamins that they gave him will keep his energy up and he will start eating more. Great video again!!!
I could listen to this Doctor all day & night 😊
I know he has a soothing voice and I feel smarter listening to his sciencey stuff
The way you are with the animals in your care is just incredible 👏
Thank you!
Wow! It’s GREAT to see Dino improving with each vet visit!
Take care of you too! !
These animals are reliant upon you and Gabby!
Hydrate! Hydrate! N hydrate! 💦
Thank you!
I'm keeping Dino in my thoughts and hoping he has a full recovery as soon as possible.
❤️🐊
Holy cow, they are so strong. All the best to you guys.
Very strong animal!
You make it look easy Chris! Great team work! So much respect for the animal!❤
he is just so chill and collected.
I enjoy watching and. Learning about Dino and Bella,Big Mac,Akilla and the other animals love them all.❤!!!
❤️🐊
Don't mind Chris, just holding the Gator tight and in control. Awesome!!!
Haha thanks!
Wow watching you catch Dino was really amazing. You were as gentle as possible and just so calm it was amazing.
Thank you!
I feel so bad for Big Mac. Leave his leg & foot be. He is a sweetie 💚💚💚🩵🩵🩵
i'm with Chris I don't think it needs anything, unless it becomes an issue in the future.
The more i watch these videos, the more i become convinced that man could of co-existed with Jurassic era dinosaurs.
I don't know..the teeth were ALOT bigger back then!!! LOL
i tend to think so too. like we were just way down on the scale of predators.
Another great video and thank you both for allowing us to see how your days are going. I can only imagine the levels of exhaustion you both must feel! I hope you are feeling better Chris, gotta keep hydrating! I really hope Dino is getting better!
Amazing job Chris! Don't forget to drink water!!!! Thanks for all you do for the Animals and all the editing and recording for us! So interesting to hear you and the Vet talk about Dino and helping him! Thanks!!!
Thank you!
My heart went out when I heard Dino wheezing. Here's hoping for a full recovery!
❤️🐊
My whole outlook and feelings towards crocodilians has changed drastically because of you guys. I really have a lot more respect, knowledge, empathy, and care for these beautiful creatures. Thank you.!
And thank you for doing so much to try and help Dino my heart breaks for him. I hate to see any animal in pain or suffering as you guys clearly do as well. You have really went out on a limb to try everything in your power to help truly wonderful people you are.!
And to top it all off, I could watch you guys for hours. This is the most amazing and informative videos I’ve ever seen it just goes to show. What is animals really have to go through in life.
I know this sounds offputting, but it is also very exciting watching when it comes down to the crocodilians very exciting and a big thanks to Vet and his crew❤
Thank you so much! That’s so kind of you and I’m glad you enjoy the videos!
Beautiful baby's, definitely recognises your voice Chris, when you started talking his head moved side ways, don't know if anyone else noticed this ❤
Dino seems like he is feeling better.. maybe it’s all the stuff you put in him.. he’s like I lay here
Olaf. So cute. He made me laugh. What a busy day!!!!!
Watching your videos is nothing but cuteness overload. Prayers for Dino and big mac. They're in the best santuary. Please take care of yourself.
❤️🐊
Great video Chris. Just finished watching it. Skipped the pigs. Had enough of those in my life. lol. Also greetings and compliments to a phenomenal crocodilian vet.
So much in awe (and nearly in tears) watching gators. Just a Floridian.
I am so glad I found you. I have been fascinated by alligators and crocodiles since I was in Gatorland. Not only that, but I have discovered my heart for these animals.
You have such a calm voice and are so patient with them. I think that's super important. I check every day to see if you've posted anything. Especially about Dino. I hope he is recovering.
You and Gabby, keep up the great work. Greetings from Germany
Thank you!
Chris, it is always just amazing watching you and Gabby put all of that non stop work into those beautiful creatures but you HAVE to take care of yourself too. Lots of healing white light for Big Mac and the others who have ailments. I have always been enthralled watching the gators and crocs but never so much as when I serendipitously found your channel. I will always thank you for being the true human you are for caring so much for our earths animals in need.
❤️🐊
I was watching and went to hit like button and I must have unconsciously already did it. TH-cam please just LIKE all these videos automatically for me going forward ... they always rock!
Haha thank you
AWw I Hope Dino recovery feel so sorry for him and his foot poor thing but glad they gave him some fluid for him fingers cross he will make it thanks Chris Gabby
EXPERT alligator knowledge and handling really shows! Chris knows how to avoid the tail, the teeth, the roll, everything is coordinated, and all with knowledge of the animal's capabilities and needs.
Thank you!
They are such beautiful creatures. I love watching your vlog and learning about them. ❤
Thank you so much!
I’m sorry you got so worn out and got heat stroke. I’ve had heat stroke and got so sick but couldn’t throw up, just dry heaved. Take care.
This was utterly fascinating to watch. I hope the vet can continue to be there for you two with your exotics, especially the crocodile and alligators. The knowledge he must have in his brain 😱As a former vet tech who only dealt with dogs and cats and the occasional rabbit, it was just mind blowing to see vet care on such an ancient creature. I thoroughly enjoyed watching and learning about these amazing animals. I am rooting for Dino for his sake and for the both of you. I know you would want to stay detached emotionally but it’s hard to not get attached when you are having to give so much tlc. Can’t wait to hear updates. Hopefully after all those different medications and fluids , he feels a lot better!
Thank you!
Chris, this is such an educational video. I loved listening to Dr. Colbert. I love animals so much and love learning all I can about them. It breaks my heart to know that Dino and Big Mac are not well. But I have faith in your knowledge and ability to care for them. Please take care of yourself in the Florida heat and humidity. Love and respect from Tennessee. 💕🐊
Thank you! ❤️🐊
It's so interesting to see the process of medical care for Dino. I know how tough it is to find a local exotic vet for my bunnies, a common pet. I can't even imagine how hard it is to find experienced vets for most of the animals in your sanctuary. The few there are must be so busy constantly.
Yea it’s very difficult and they’re all always very busy
@@GatorChris_I hope your non profit takes off 10 fold and you can add a vet on staff.
He's so huge and his eyes are so tiny..hearing him wheezing is hard to hear....poor guy. He's been so mellow... good boy Dino!!❤
❤️🐊
33:30 your way is very good, even gator learns quickly to submit
I trust Chris and Gabby over the health of the animals, this video shows how smart they are plus the best they want. Respect and love for how they own there sanctuary . Greetings from the Netherlands 🐊🐊
Thank you!
What blows my mind is that Akila can hear you when she's under water 😮...I adore Akila.. and Dino. He's going to be just fine...❤
Hope you got a good nights sleep Chris, gotta take care of you too 🥰
I did!😂
I completely agree. We had an intern who looked like the veterinarian and she was not popular among the animal population. lol.
Dino is turning into a raptor 😆
St. Francis of Assisi: The Patron Saint of Animals ❤ Answered my own question. Unless someone answered my comment, which I doubt. Haven't checked my comments. I dislike seeing injured animals. No matter what kind they are. Each have feelings, like we do. Wish the best to all! Always enjoy the videos!🐾😉🐾
Fingers crossed for Dino
That was amazing.
The improvements Dino is
showing in such a short
time is unbelievable.
I know it’s wishful thinking,
but I would like to think that
Dino is aware he’s feeling better
and somewhere deep down he
knows you’re trying to help him.
I’m glad Dino is doing better. It’s interesting to hear what he’s actually doing for Dino. Chris! Take care of you!!!
🙌🐊
Big Mac: Listen to Big Mac hissing. He must smell Dr Colbert! With gator's ability to heal, I wonder if there is any possibility that his eyesight could return?
Akila: She is sooo smart
Dino: His hissing is a lovely sound. It means he is on the mend. Ohhh, he felt that toe pinch for sure!
Rudolph: Yay!! Happy he went to his new family. Only 4 more to go.
Poppy: Just adore his low rider furpants.
Chris, you're a professional when it comes to these animals. Don't listen to us in the comments. We're all idiots! 😂
Hope all the hard work pays off. And Dino gets better with full recovery soon..
The Dr seemed super knowledgeable. Of course, it's a little hard for us laymen to understand it all lol, but Dino is obviously under good care with you all. Im dying to hear something conclusive about what Dino's issues are, though. At least the doc confirmed the suspicions you already had.
Dr Colbert was great and very knowledgeable!
you take care of so many animals daily, Chris 🥺 please don't forget to take care of yourself daily too 🥺
Aw thank you
I Subscribed this is a great channel
Thank you!!
So glad you found some good vets to help out with Big Mac & Dino. If nothing else, the fluids should make Dino feel better, but with all the other meds the Doc got onboard, hope Dino will turn the corner. Big Mac, poor guy...seems like he just wants to chill and figure out what is going on....at least he's eating now!
Who would have thought watching tortoises eat would be so enjoyable! Them fighting over the same piece, LOL! Thanks to this channel for the enlightenment 👏💚
Take care of yourselves!
Thank you, hopefully he feels better soon!
Hope you feel better! It was another very interesting vlog! And an HOUR long! Wow. Love Poppy and Jet! And the emus… and Comet… and all the others!
Thanks so much!!
Anybody else think doc looks like uncover boss version of Chris?
I would think its good for his leg to dry out a little bit too. Hopefully Dino will have the will to survive. U guys have done everything u can do. Its up to him now. ❤to Dino!!
❤️🐊
This was cool to see the catching ways. I was impressed with the lack of anything from Dino after caught and all the brave vet and vet techs for coming out.
Also love poppi 😂how she would rather just be held and cuddled then food. 😂
😂
Thank you for all your selfless work, Chris! Please take good care of yourself! Thank you for the super-interesting video!
This is something new.....he so at peace!! You are amazing and so is Casper and all the alligators!!
Nice jurrasic vibe near the end with the Emu! ❤
The médical part was interesting. Poor Dino. I am in love with the fox’s and puppy. The r adorable. Hope u feel better Chris and Dino too
Thank you! 😊
And breaks my heart with big mac and Dino ❤
Thanks for including Big Mac in this session - was super curious about his leg
You bet!
I do hope Dino makes a full recovery, so sad to see him looking lethargic and poorly. I love the work you both do. My real love to watch is the prairie dogs, so cute 🥰 Who wouldn’t fall in love with Poppy ❤ x
It really is amazing to see you interacting with these crocs/gators every day. What you do is so fascinating. Keep up the amazing work you are both doing
Its almost as if Dino knows you are trying to help him 🐊
Nice work!!
Thanks!
I'm sorry people can be so ugly. If they have watched you at all they should know how much you care about them and how well you take care of all of your animals. You are the expert! I appreciate all you and Gabby do for these guys 😊
Thank you!
The way yall take care of him is amazing ❤
This alligators or crocodiles are something to understand and love them even if they don't love us back!! 💯 I am overwhelmed for your love for each and everyone alligators!!
The Nile Crocodile is so smart, NEVER TRUST A STRANGER, STRANGER Danger period Point BLANK look what happens to people on True Crime Case's and the crazy haters online always making threats everyone should ALWAYS watch your surroundings 💯👀🤎💜 Big Mac 🍔 is so cool it's so awesome that publics donates food to you you guys do amazing great work
Haha yep!
