- Today we're at Everglades Outpost, working with Aries and Ms. Toothy. This video will show you first hand how crocodiles do in fact have taste buds and won't eat anything you offer them, like most people think.
Everglades Outpost is a nonprofit animal rescue located in South Florida. Learn more, donate or plan a visit here - www.evergladesoutpost.org/
I have just come across this channel today and can't stop watching. This is absolutely Amazing... Keep doing what you do Friend.
The first time i stumbled upon this channel and him and casper i was horrified....yet i could not look away. His relationship with animals is unique and truly a sight to behold. I think it's amazing how he can get into such close proximity to these animals and them respect him and respond like they do
Same.
@@aprilgentles9310 isn't his relationship amazing with animals I would never be 5 feet near
Bro Same
Same i haven't seen someone spend this much time next to a croc or gator since steve irwin.
Never have I seen a crocodile Express the feelings of "I have been Tricked, back stabbed, Hoodwinked and Most Definitely Bamboozled" so well as Aries when he was given lobster for a second time
Yassss that was a whole mood
Crocodile tears
Ikr🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aries said nasty lobster. You gonna make me have you for lunch owner.
I was definitely witnessing the birth of some trust issues 😂😂😂
“Well now I don’t think I WANNA open my mouth after the last unpleasant surprise you gave me! TWICE! 🤨🤨🤨”
Crocodilian version of Bean-Boozled 😂
As soon as he touched the water with his stick she instantly came up and lunged towards him . And you couldn’t even tell she was so close, just shows how amazing ambush predators they are.
yeah sneaky as hell
Reminds of that one camper that made zero noise and pulled up a finishing move on me in Warzone
@@Sa1nt24 lmao
One of my cousins own alligators and crocodiles. The bad thing about this animals is that you can't trust them no matter if you saw them grow since babies. They are the most dangerous animals on earth. You could trust a Lion a little bit but not this badboys lol.
Or rather how unprepared us humans are for nature.
They are not too good, we are just too bad when it comes to living in nature.
The funniest part to me was the gators staring and making it known they're pissed off because they weren't getting the food😂
Yeah they were all jealous of that lobster. They didnt seem to mind the regular feed but when he spit out the lobster they all were giving the croc trash
@@stompingpeak2043 I think it was the sound of the shell cracking that was getting them excited lol
@@tranquil8792 sounds like bones. or crawfish. they like that
Gators eat crayfish so I'd be shocked if they weren't down for a lobster.
I like how this guy is smart enough to never take his eye off them no matter how much trust he has in them. You can't untrain instincts but you can train them to overcome the impulses. That unfortunately is never a guarantee.
What I like about this channel is that he acknowledges that and even tells us that gators are not dogs right, so don't mess with them no matter how hard the training is.
That's the thing, even dogs bite. The difference is a dog bite will break skin and maybe get infected. One of these bite you and you potentially lose a limb/your life.
The main anxiety I would have is when he focuses on one the other could pounce. Wild animals love to back attack and 2v1 from what I've seen
There is absolutely no trust there my man. Just knowledge and experience.
I disagree about taking eyes off them. There's another video where he's feeding in a cage of 6 to 10 gators and he looks at the camera for a while with his back directly against the biggest one with it's mouth wide open. Obviously he knows more than I do, but some of the videos I've seen I'm surprised he's still alive. Still, much respect.
Interesting things I learned. 1: taste preferences of the two crocodiles, 2: Aries is a good boy, 3: toothy is most definitely a murderer
Yes,Toothy got Chandlers leg good!! They're both on Chandlers property now!👍
I don't know why the mental and actual image of a croc just going "bleh..." and spitting out lobster is so funny, but I was cackling
The fact that he’s so confident in sandals around gators is amazing to me.
I don’t think wearing boots is safer either
You could have steel toe boots on you're still dead if they get you good lmao
I think the smell of his feet helps deter the gators from wanting to eat him too badly.
@@sp00kyd4ddy6 they'd probably crush the steel and get his toe with one bite right?
@@nezkeys79 Well if they bite, then that probably means they are going to thrash around and twist, and in that case your foot is probably the least of your concerns lol.
11:17 The way she was in such shallow water yet completely invisible is both amazing and terrifying.
Toothy is like “why are y’all so persistent on being kind to me. Dont you know i hate you! But dang these snacks are too good!”
lol!
Aries was such a gentleman leaving a lobster for his girlfriend.
Mrs Toothy really gave the look of “… okay, this *is* food. You live another day. Do not expect this kindness every time.” when you gave her the claw.
Bruh, Toothy is horrifying. "I'm gonna touch the water with my stick and see if she pops up." *pokes the water* *Toothy lunges* I could never
I like how the girl is more aggressive, it helps remind people that not all animals are calm like a lot of the ones you have in captivity become
She’s badass
Most people should know the difference between their cat Fluffy and an Apex predator.
@@itzamia Their cat fluffy is an apex predator
@@Anonymous-xp4jj But of course. With the wind flowing through the beasts immense fur while the eyes zero's in on it's modest prey. The sharp hook like claws freeing themselves from the paddled shaped paws only to have it submerged into the flesh. The bicycle kick of power from the hind legs and sinking it's razor sharp fangs only ensures a swift death by the predator. As the majestic carnivore retires from a well calculated onslaught, she makes her way to her room she shares with the vertical walkers. Before resting on the belly of the vertical walker a quick, claw digging stretch into the skin before the much needed shut eye.
@@Anonymous-xp4jj On New Zealand maybe.
"Aww, c'mon Aries! Lobster is expensive stuff!"
Aries: "It's foie gras or it's nothing, Christopher!"
Aries is adorable, I love how he just kinda hangs off the ledge of the log and his little arms just kinda hang there, it reminds me of my cat lol.
He’s also very polite.
I love how the last treat he gave Aries, Aries was second guessing opening his mouth cuz he watched Chris grab the lobster. Almost as if to say "you throw that lobster in my mouth I swear by all that is holy"
Ms Toothy is grumpy as always though. Someday she'll get the memo.
I ryy
I don't know why but it's so satisfying seeing them being fed, even more so with the Lobster's bright colors
th-cam.com/video/adm1H_Yb0Sk/w-d-xo.html
I agree
Me too. I think the reason is in the back of our minds, we know that if the Crocodile is eating something else and is full, they probably won't feed on something like a human hand!
I wonder why the lobster was boiled before feeding to the crocs instead of raw
@@QuantumEffectResidue You wish
Aries: “Your human delicacies repulse me.”
Lobster actually taste funky to me Lol
@@jessica3218 I personally prefer crab and shrimp lol.
@@CharlieApples same!
The amount of compassion and care he shows towards an animal that is basically constantly attempting murder is amazing (and yes I know murder is a human concept) his level headed ness is amazing
6:40 The call for Chris had some fear.
Toothy is terrifying
@@FloridasWildestDid you go to school for that
That was so cool when she just appeared from the water. Badass!
Right!!!
Dunno if badass would be the word I'd use if it was coming out at me.
@@thewackycabbage461 nah I’d use badass still lol but I’d still be running for my life while shitting myself
@@thewackycabbage461 more like "my ass!!!!"
Dude, when you touched the water with the stick and she popped out, I got CHILLS. The movies and video games have desensitized me to fear but I swear seeing that croc lunge at the camera stirred up something primal in me; "Run!" Great video.
Yup primal instincts
What shocked me is how quickly toothy appeared after the touch the water with ur stick it was amazing. Really amazing creatures for sure
Whoa, Gabby generally was concerned when Ms. Toothy came up. She went "Chris" in a concerned state. Not sure if it was for him or for both of them.
I'm pretty sure she's concerned more so for herself, but also for Chris as well
I think its more like “Chris! She is coming, do something!”
So cool, He's a beautiful crocodile! and his wife is a smart Cuban crocodile sneaking up on them from behind..!! 🐊🦞
They’d fed him long enough it was her turn so she was just coming over to get hers.
@@amandamartin7020 lol Yeah..!!
I love how he bites the lobster once and just stops like "omg no get it out of my mouth!" 😂😂 Not a seafood fan. He's a turf fan, not a surf fan.
Lol Toothy was like: "I wonder if he tastes like lobster"😂
I think that one of the coolest and underrated adaptations of crocodilians is the ability to remain absolutely still. Like stopped in time still for hours. Amazing animals and obviously another reason they’re the among the greatest survivors ever.
Yeah they have been around for about 95 million years so they must be doing something right
@@homebrewznz3482and their ancestors that weren’t all that different go back to at least the Triassic. It is fascinating how many extinction events crocodilians and the broader crocodyliforms survived.
Lying still underwater without breathing for up to 6 hours. It's an incredible adaptation that few other living species have.
@@Cwin-ny6bpA crocodilian: "Non-avian dinosaurs? What a bunch of losers. A little asteroid smash and they all went extinct." (eyes little furry mammal hungrily 👀)
Probably that crunch on the outside too.. feeling like something inedible
love your communication where she warns you and you immediatly say whats wrong
His skills are of the highest level at this level it’s basically art
Haha Aries is like what are you trying to feed me human?? I demand the good stuff!
Shame the panic in the ladies voice when the croc came closer shows how aggressive the other croc is. She seemed really scared in that moment!
Toothy was definitely on the move and wanted him (or her) for dinner
11:16 is one of the coolest and scariest things i have ever seen!
He's like:" if you don't stop feeding me these plastic toys"
This gives me anxiety, watching how close he is when feeding them meat
This is my first video and it is both terrifying and incredible. I train aggressive large breed dogs - so I understand the calmness in potentially dangerous situations, but holey smokes crocodiles and alligators are terrifying to me. I can even slow down and relax while free diving near sharks, but the concept that murky water would hide these killing machines makes it so much more crazy. You are one of a kind, sir. The world is more fun with people that do crazy sh*t in it
You were very deliberate and aware when feeding Ms Toothy. really shows how well you know the crocs and which ones you need to keep an eye on
I love seeing people intelligent enough to understand animals.
Toothy is so adorable, it’s only fitting the little girl has the biggest attitude!
Honestly after watching 2 videos that popped up randomly, I now have a new found respect for Crocodiles and Alligators and see them are more interesting creatures rather than scary killing machines. They still are scary and well still kill but there's a lot more to them that fascinate me now
wait til you hear about the salt water Crocs that fought off the Japanese in the Pacific
@@joestein6603 Sir crocs
Same here!
This is so funny! I never imagined they would have such picky palates, but your explanation makes perfect sense. It's still strange to think they actually taste the things they eat considering what they have been known to eat in the wild. I wonder if it's because he knows you have the beef and other meats he's regularly fed so it's easier to be picky. Great video as always! Love you guys!
Toothy is a killing machine. She set the trap by disappearing from view encouraging you down to the waters edge. Reminded me of Jurassic Park where Muldoon says “clever girl” before he was eaten by the Velociraptor 😂
His calm, attentiveness and humor is so precise
i love it how they just sit there completely still like theyre frozen in time
Lady Croc: “Thank you for the food. I hate you.”
I love the sound they make, sounds threatening at first but it's really much like a cat purring.
They are literally dinosaurs!!! So awesome! I love them! ❤
They are not dinosours, they are reptiles. They had a common ancestor with dinosurs but these animals have outlived the dinosours.
@@lilsamantha1 Dinosaurs are reptiles, and dinosaurs are still alive.
@@lilsamantha1 they're as close to living dinosaurs we will ever see.
@@dznArro i agree they are bad ass
Omg this is the first time i have ever been scared watching this..i was like oh God please don't eat my friends....gabby good looking out...you guys make an amazing team
And Toothy's like "No refunds, mister!!".
This was absolutely fascinating! I cannot believe a croc would turn food down like that! Could it be anything to do with it being cooked?? Amazing how you’ve trained him. It was so incredible watching him slowly open his mouth when you asked him to and his brain ticking over when you told him not to lunge at you. So interesting.
I have always been fascinated by crocodiles and was totally mesmerized by how close you can get to them in this video. Great skill and know how with animals. Thanks for sharing!!!
I wonder if it the taste of the shell that he doesn't like. So maybe try a uncooked lobster or even a large crayfish.
Croc is like , ok who cooked my sushi?
how are they able to respond to verbal commands like "open"? i'm even doubly amazed considering theyre caught as nuisance gators
I'm completely fascinated. You two are something special. When you said "Toothy" I had a good laugh... great name.
Ya, she looks "very dangerous". Tonnes of respect for what you do.
Cheers
Wow, he obeyed you. What a good croc.
its amazing how this man can stay calm when the aligators are hissing at him even behing a fence i would be incredebly scared
The way Ms. Toothy just sits there menacingly, waiting for an opportunity to launch out of that hole is just a little unsettling 😂
Beautiful animals. I could never be that close though lol I’ve watches u guys from day one! You continue to impress me every time. Congrats on the rescue now!!! The world needs more people like you and Gabby. I even got parakeets because you guys helped me find my love of birds.
Yes this they are extremely beautiful I love watching them interact and feed them as well ‼️‼️
No cause you should make videos with you birds I would love to learn more about them I’m so intrigued with animals as it is we need more people like y’all altogether 👍❤️
th-cam.com/video/adm1H_Yb0Sk/w-d-xo.html
Without first having the proper training, safety precautions and permit you should never be that close.
It's not just for your safety but the safety of the crocodile as well.
Aries is like “Is like bruh I know I got millions of years of evolution….but I still got this shellfish allergy.”
Side note the female croc reminds me of my ex; both in aggression, sneakiness and in terms of her over enthusiasm in seafood boils.
😂😂😂
Chris is a superhero dude…when gabby cried out Chris…he went full bore and was like NOT TODAY! I love everything about you two…I hope to be as badass as Chris one day…keep it up and please stay safe, happy and healthy…HUGS
Cuban Nile hybrid and he is so calm? He is one of a kind
i think you guys actually have the most professional and pretty much best american wild life channel on youtube! Just wanted to let you know
This was really interesting. I also assumed crocodiles would eat pretty much anything. Great video as always. I came across one of your videos randomly and have become a fan.
Dude is wearing flip flops for crying out loud. Great traction to get away from Toothy!
Love how the woman moans at the croc for her bad throws
😂😂😂
I didn't watch this video from the beginning and was just totally confused on whether Aries was a Nile or Cuban croc, and then I was further stumped by why Ms Toothy (a Cuban croc) was being kept in an enclosure with a potentially Nile croc.
Then I watched from the beginning and saw that Aries is a hybrid, which I did not know occurred even in captivity.
I absolutely love this channel, you and Gabby are amazing!!! Never thought I would say that alligators and crocodiles and beautiful animals until I seen you two with them
Aries listens for treats better than my chihuahuas do
Aries just holding his mouth open with the lobster in it like yuck what is that is hilarious 😂
You are such a wonderful team! Good job there Gabi being the spotter!
My favorite video so far. I love seeing how you handle them so well
Oh my goodness! When you asked him if he knew how expensive it is. He seemed to shake his head in a no motion like “no I don’t know and I don’t care, I just know I don’t like how it tastes!” 😂😄😁😆😂🤣 this is so awesome to see! Modern day dinosaurs essentially. Super cool! I am terrified of these animals, but love to watch them. They are really interesting creatures.
That crocodile looks like he is about to snap his jaws on something
Thanks for helping those animals. You two are awesome.
Wow amazing animals! Great to see how they can be trained. Even ones as terrifying as Toothy
A walking stick: never travel near the Florida Everglades without it 😀
You know she's bad when gabby gets worried
Florida native myself and I love this channel dude! People really need to know more about these magnificent animals. Keep up the great work!
So chill in the face of certain danger lol
Love your stuff
For all my 24 years I've thought it was Crocodiles with the wider snouts. Thought you had mispoke so I googled it and wow. I've been wrong this whole time!! Fascinating video!!
10:58 the coming seconds are FAR more entertaning than any movie Hollysh** pull out this year
Who knew that Ms. Toothy was more sophisticated than Aries? lol! It's always amazing to watch you guys working with the crocs. You seem to have such an innate sense of these animals and do things I have never seen anywhere else. Amazing!
Lots of love from Brasil 🇧🇷, congrats on your work!
watching him jus push the croc back into the water was so funny most florida stuff ever
Crocodiles make me think of the Nile Crocodiles. They be dragging Wilderbeasts into the water like it's nothing.
Oh wow, I recognize these two from Chandler's Wild Life. Was not expecting that. Yea, Chandler's pretty lucky Miss Toothy didn't take off his whole leg... Much as I love Chandler, it was not the smartest move.
Fascinating to get to see more of these two and see some of their behaviors from andifferemt perspective.
So awesome to watch, Chris and gabby are my idols 😂💜💜💜
i’m really enjoying your videos and learning a lot, thanks a lot for the effort you guys are putting in
“He’s looking at me like you tricked me” now Chris you need to explain crocs don’t know what tricks are. Lol
Is it safe to pet and give it a hug?
She is adorable.
Probs to pet on the head. If you wanna hug it then it'd be more like wrangling it from behind like a Southern boi
Sure, you can give it a hug if you want to be its food.
@@Diddykong8775 Yea but it's not in the water in the house thought it was house trained.
That's a fucking ruthless predator programmed to kill and eat. It doesn't think like humans. It has no complex thoughts, only deadly instinct. Go give a great white hug while you're at it. Lmao
@@Johnny3Batony Bleeds due to shark skin being sharp af
Ares is super sweet, but Toothy is one fiesty female and I'm here for it!!
They're beautiful and frightful looking at the same time!
This was so cool to watch.. Love learning about these beautiful Alligators and Crocodiles 🐊
Wow!! So cool and they're so beautiful. The female was amazing to watch her in the water and just pop out like that. 😱Definitely enjoy these and they get my heart pumping for you both.
What an absolutely impressive animal!!
I have never seen a picky crocodile until now
Been watching a lot of your vids Chris. Its just fascinating, being situationally aware and still giving a Ted Talk on hybrid Crocs. You’re crazy as hell. But your love for gators and the wild life is also equally impressive.
