Aries and Miss Toothy live with Chandler now!! How cool!! The circle of Croc lives!!❤
I don't know of any other person in the world who can do what you do with crocodiles. Much respect.
There was another, long ago...
But hopefully, with outreach and education, there will be more in the future.
@@SudsyMedusa53 Hearts out❤️ it's never too late to mourn his death and it's never too late to celebrate his life.
There was a another one long ago he is legend Steve Irwin the crocodile hunter
I remember watching the other legend as a kid before school
Not of this world anymore but there was another
I'm just amazed at the size difference between the two of them!
I've done nothing but binge this channel for the past hour! I'm so intrigued!!! Love this!!
Toothy scares the bejesus out of me but I love her so much!💚
Cuban's are terrifying. They're practically terrestrial, extremely intelligent, lightning fast, and have a mean streak a mile wide. That said, I love them. They're so unique among Crocs, and are fascinating to watch. It's such a shame they're so endangered. I really want to see more of them.
They were at one time in the Bahamas as well & hunted on land!!
Terrestrial? Well you are probably not wrong about this…
Possibly the most beautiful crocs too
How do these guys not have more subs? This channel is amazing 🤩
Thank you so much for taking us on the training process journey!
Patience is the key. Selecting natural behaviours to reward and reinforce definitely requires an understanding of the queues displayed by the animal. Clearly your hard work is paying off. Your love of wildlife gives me hope that you are reaching more people each day with your message of conservation and education. Thank you, even with the risk, you continue to do what you do love. Congrats to you both. Stay safe.
I love this! The respect shown for the power these animals have is real, and that is something I truly appreciate! It was wonderful watch!
I just started watching this channel not long ago but watching old videos to this, the growth in these gators has me totally mind blown kinda but also you can see that the only reason these animals are so comfortable and adapting is because they have somebody that is conforming and adapting with them as well. This channel is ammazing!
That's just the start of what I've started to love about this channel. New daily.
Man I was on the edge of my seat with that. She is quick
I love the name “Toothie” 🤣🤣🤣 It fits her well 🐊❤️
This is so cool ! And an amazing example of how training should go!
Just found this channel and I'm absolutely amazed!
I used to live in a city that was known for having alligators and huge snakes and I'm deadly afraid of them, so I never thought this would be the kind of content I would enjoy, but it's always great to see people with passion for their work and so, so respectful to animals. Kudos to you guys, the work you do is beautiful!
Aries is so sweet! I thought for a second you where gonna give him a big kiss lol but honestly what you do is so amazing, I admire you so much!
He reminds me so much of the crocodile hunter🥰 Steve would be so proud!!!!
This guy is a croc expert, he stays his distance and doesnt get too comfortable, he can tell when a croc is going to strike or gets aggro... and i think this is the best form of training. But training can only go so far, a hungry croc is a wild animal apex predator, closest thing to dinosaurs in a way, I personally would never go near one but i love watching these videos.
Man I can watch your videos for hours! Your voice and explaining makes it very nice to watch. Greetings from the Netherlands
I was so scared but Arie and Ms Toothy were great.🐊🐊
“I don’t trust him but I trust my abilities”
That’s a great quote for anything in life. I love these videos. Seeing these animals like this is so interesting and this guys voiceovers are always very interesting! Great job bro!!
Aries is soo cute !
I'm from Cuba and I didn't know a thing about Cuban crocodiles, thank you so much!
They were heavily hunted after the Cuban revolution imposed food restrictions on the population. Before Castro you could find crocs not only in the swamps but in every river in the wild. Cubans in order to have some protein literally eat and hunted down the whole animal population of the island.
Beautiful animals. THE perfect apex predator in its particular ecosystem. Aries is a cute gator boy taking food gently.
I miss these long form training videos! I hate that the algorithms punish it. I’d love to see a croc-talk video about Cubans. Mrs Toothy always fascinated me!!
It’s amazing what you do. These two are so beautiful! Toothy is feisty but I love her.

Aries: Watch this ima go real sloowwwww
No Chris you are very smart so very smart you can't take your eyes off of them because the first second that you do that little stick that you have in front of you is nothing that crock could bite that with no problem and break it please never take your eye off but man you are the man I got to say I'd like to see and shout out to Paul and Jimmy and the rest of the Gator boys but you guys are real soldiers and a young lady too I think if I'm correct I was watching an episode of Gator boys and if I'm right Gabby had Paul forget come out to her house and remove a gator and she wanted to be a volunteer there at the rescue and I guess that's how her career started if I'm correct salute to her too
Toothy is making some great progress.
I noticed that as you talk to us you never take your eye off her. Well played!
Gary is just like opening his mouth the whole time like dude give me food
Aries is his name. Not Gary.
Finally we see them actually going for ya. Woww insane work with this wild animals, nice job, great content!
Toothy is no joke
🤣😂😆Aries is sitting there ,like a good boy with his mouth open while his woman is messing things up! 🤣😅
Awesome video. Love learning about their behavior.
You’re so amazing guys!!
Great video shows so much about croc behavior
The smaller one is very smart. One person on a video on the internet, he was feeding the croc. His hand was under the jaw of the croc and the croc snapped at him. It was a show. U really have to have good reflexes. Do more of these videos. I love 💘 this. Ur interesting to watch Jay.
Amazing love your videos
Omg Chris this training method is wonderful to watch.Aires is a pretty calm croc,so far,but love watching you train them Xo😊
9:02 that ninja move there with the stick 😆 it's amazing how you can be working with one and pay enough attention to realize when she lunges at you.
I could never do that, my reflexes and attention is too horrible for that
:3 I love your videos with these animals!
Also also, how can you tell difference between crocs and gators? O.o
I think the easiest way to tell the difference is crocodiles usually have a more narrow, triangular snout.
Alligators snouts are rounded, and wider
different colour, different size, different shape
Soooooo cool !!! Thank you for sharing with us !!!! You guys are amazing !!!:)
👍You guys are professionals
This is so cool I'd love to work with these creatures
I'm sorry man but I had to laugh my ass off at that slow motion video of her lunging at you. That was funny as hell. Lol.
3:20 I love how reluctant he is about it
Thanks so much for posting these videos. (Although I would never go near crocodiles or crocodile-infested waterbodies, they are unbelievably fascinating). These videos inspire so much curiosity. Every video makes me want to know more about crocodile behaviour, like these:
If you crouch in front of these crocodiles, you are visually reducing your size. Does it make them more likely to attack you? If it does, does it impede their training?
love your content
Thanks so much!
Chris. I know u don't hurt animals. We see how u love working with animals
Really awesome video.
7:10 its crazy how crocs have different personality
Thank God for the sticks
Take care
With your calm demeanour Aeris was so calm. Now in chandler's he become as hyper as Chandler😛
That was so dangerous. I was thinking when was Chris getting out. I know he has many years of experience but they are very unpredictable and dangerous. Aries has a mean face and Toothy is sneaky. I was glad when Chris came out.
Soooo cool💗
A lot of people think that the legends of dragons are based on crocodiles. I don't know the truth of that, but it's good enough of a reason for me to call you guys real life dragon tamers!
They’re not used to having their mouths be open and that’s what gets them food. Their natural instinct is to lunge and attack to get food. Very interesting training methods that seems to work quite well.
Its so terrifying when Aries opens his mouth so slowly.
Seems like you trust them as much as you can trust an animal.
Once you know an animal on an individual basis you can accurately predict what they will do at any given time so long as you don't get complacent.
I hope all is well 🙃
Look at how much smaller she is from Aries... and she RULES HIM at Chandler's place. He's such a good boyfriend!!❤❤
He's so much bigger than her! She could literally fit in his belly it looks like!
Jesus man! This one really concerned me. She is smoking fast!
They looked like statues in disbelief at the end like bruh where's my food???
Aries just kept his mouth open while you were explaining why you can't work with toothy like............. The steak bro, the steak 🤣🤣
do gators get jealous? like toothy there, is she upset at all that Aries is getting fed and not her?
so this is why Moses carried a staff?
I think Chris is a beautiful person working at alligators and crocodiles
SNIPER OUT ON ALL DIGITAL PLATFORMS
How long do they stay waiting with their mouth open after you leave?
Can’t believe the girl offered to leave him there so she could get more food. Lol
Love the comment: " I don't trust him at all. I trust my ability to read the situation."
She is saying; leave my boyfriend alone.
He reminds me of Steve Irwin the crocodile hunter
Okay so when they tuck/lay their heads down like that its easier for them to spring up and nyam you? I noticed her adjust them hind legs
"how to train your dragon" but in real life
How young can you start training them ?
You guys are awesome. Should get Chandler on the show.
We have a collab planned soon!
A fucking hybrid? I didn't know that was possible among crocodilians! Also, every day I like Cuban crocs more and more, they are like modern Kaprosuchus
He has a different look in his eyes when he’s considering taking a shot at you
Amazing work by Croc whisperer & the balls on him. But I think it’s crazy to let crocs get so close
Do you raise them from when they are babies?
No
Every Time open mond
@6:20 the crocodile probably thinking the man is feeding himself to him. Since he taught him open mouth to eat
Do they even chew? My Pug seems to inhale her snacks
It’s like watching someone defuse a bomb
If one attacks would the other?
is the female more dangerous than the male
OMG I get so scared for you these animals are precious but so dangerous!!!! I couldn't do it!!!!!!
It makes me wonder if humans could have trained velociraptors as pets if we ever would have had the chance.
Obviously these animals have some intelligence, enough to be responsive to at least some degree of communication and training. Very interesting and certainly not something most people are aware of.
Crocodilians are one of the most intelligent animals.
Should you be keeping a full blooded Cuban with a hybrid? Shouldn’t you want to avoid further hybrids due to the species conservation status?
They are not part of a breeding program, so it’s irrelevant. As far as we know, nobody is actively breeding full blooded Cuban crocodiles in the US and re-introducing them to Cuba.
Florida's Wildest I thought gatorland Florida have taken part in Cuban crocodile exchanges and release. Though I may be misremembering.
George Hancock I don’t believe so, but I’ll look into it!
George Hancock it’s one thing to work with Cuban crocodiles over there, but nobody is using ones that were born in captivity in the US for repopulation over there (to our knowledge!)
Crocodiles are wild animals but U have a lot of experience with these animals.
Can a gator become passive with enough training?
It depends on how passive you’re thinking. Casper (the one he does underwater events with) is very passive and swims with him without an issue usually. He said that although Casper would never try to lunge at him, that if he did somehow get attacked by other gators, Casper would likely take advantage of that and join in once he’s down as well
@@casdeanplease5309 I know of cases where a Nile croc in captivity defended a “human friend” from the attacks of other crocs.
So why do you want to train them to sit with their mouths open? I'm really enjoying your videos (except the snake ones, but I watch them.)
Could Aries be just as fast as his gf if he wanted to? Or is she just particularly fast?
I'm more afraid of a 5 foot cuban crocodile than a 16 foot saltwater crocodile
@Anastazy Staziński yeah thats the thing a saltie would basically kill me instantly a cuban would like chase me down and rip me apart alive lol
Good video to show ppl crocs don’t just hunt humans otherwise you’d be screwed right now lol
He defiantly does not get paid enough..
You krokodil speak English languge Very. Hé undestand wat You say..... 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟. Credit Akkoord
Could that small one really kill you ?
