Fascinating to see predators do their thing, especially crocs/gators. The raw power is unbelievable. Not only their crushing jaw power or the torque when they whip or spin. Imagine the force of those bones hitting them on their head when they whip to try to separate to smaller chunks. That’d break your hand, maybe arm or calf bone to be hit by that. Doesn’t bother them at all. They’re so tough. Excellent vlog!
oh damn... I didn't even catch that part. I must have looked away for a few seconds. I feel bad for the prey animals, but they do serve a purpose. I think in general nothing is wasted.
Thank you for the awesome vlog really enjoyed the enrichment for the Gators and Crocs everyone looks so happy and healthy Poppy the narcoleptic prairie dog every time you pet him and he drops that's what I think of lol too cute!!!! Appreciate you guys and the video have a nice night guys
I was so distracted by Bam barking in the gator feeding time!! 😂😂😂 She was ready to jump in the second you needed to be rescued! She is just so scary!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow and wow again. Amazing footage especially the sound effects that capture Akilas power along with her fab white teeth. You and Gabby made took 'taking one for the team' to new levels ... even more so with being vegatarians. Love how you do enrichment for your crocs and aligators. I love Molly pretty markings.
Oh no gabby, girl I feel ya on that one gross lol, I'll just listen until it's over I can't do the whole prey item I kinda have a weak stomach, love you guys tho. I guess akila wanted yall to experience the moment with her lol. I hope yall have an amazing rest of the night
I love watching Akila. She is just the epitome of a powerful apex predator. The way she rises from the water and slams the prey item to break off pieces is incredible to watch. I’ve watched videos of Nile crocodiles in Africa. They catch a zebra or wildebeest and several crocodiles will anchor the prey while one or two crocodiles death roll to remove chunks of meat. It’s interesting how they cooperate with each other to share the feast. Btw Chris, Savannah mentioned she’s coming to visit. Hugs from Tennessee. 💕🐊
The shift in tone whenever Kitkat enters the scene...it's almost like Kitkat theme music starts playing - and I don't even know if it's diegetic or not - Kitkat is a The Far Side cartoon come to life!🍌🍌🥥🥥
I found this super entertaining! I think it really showed us a lot about each gator/crocs personalities too! 😄🐗 We have some in the woods behind our house, here in Clermont. The neighbors definitely had a huge problem with them tearing up their lawn!
Maybe it is the fur/course hair on the animals they are finicky about. How old is Stallone. Lol. I know you can’t tell but he is a laid back until he is not type Croc.
Akila says "Where's The Beef???" (Some may not remember)... I see where the short video come from now. Enrichment you say? Does it include all the much needed vitamins?
I guessed the two crocs who would take the hog the best (they're also my faves). 1.Akila behaves just like her mother.Blondie is always using her head to break large pieces off with,and Akila is Blondie's 'mini-me' in everyway except her colouration. 2.Once he'd got into his pool,I knew adorable Angelus would be very accepting of the leg again,just like a growing male Nile should. Bella loved her tug-of-war with Chris, she's such a funny gator with a good sense of humour about her.She adored the fact that she was badass enough to 'win ' the leg from Chris ! You go girl Bella ! Gabby,I ,too,am a vegetarian,but I would rather have some blood on me from a 'wild' hog,than have to deal with the chicken hearts,and turkey necks,from the intensive farming system ! Both are gross,to be fair,but internal organs and bits I don't want to think about,let alone see when the animal's alive seem just that bit more grosser than a freshly whole prey caught creature.That's just my view,I don't want anyone thinking I'm picking on Gabby, cos I'm not.I'm lucky to be able to watch all of this behind a screen, otherwise I'd be screaming all the time ! Chris and Gabby are extremely brave to work with these apex predators,and I'm so pleased and grateful that they do.Where on earth would most of these babbers at Bellowing Acres be,without them ? A fantastic video,at least Akila put on a brilliant show eating that hog,unlike nearly all the other crocs ' n gators !🤣😂🤣👍🏼🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️🐊🐊🐊
Did Akila go to modeling school or self-taught? What a performance LOL! ... The animals in the circle pools remind me of cats in a box!! "I'm just a box, you can totally walk past me..."
13:17 I remember reading somewhere that birds have a different respiratory system that’s not a self destruct button, because their breathing holes and eating holes don’t become a single hole. Seeing as crocodilians are the closest living relatives to birds, I’d imagine they don’t choke for the same reason. I’m only mentioning all that because need to meet my weekly quota of telling people who didn’t ask that birds are taxonomically dinosaurs, therefore dinosaurs never went extinct
Makes me think hard on what you said about MBD in captive crocs or 🐊? I wonder if they need the brain, organs, fur et to stay healthy? I hope you do this more. I have not laughed so hard in a while either.
Firstly the hog is a feral, they are all over and invasive in many areas of Florida. Mine included. Secondly, crocodilians are carnivores, what do you expect them to eat ? A veggie burger and fries ? They need a varried diet and a hog is something they may get in the wild. They can't be fed solely on a diet of store bought chicken. This is what will keep them healthy and growing like they should.
It is NOT sad or bad or anything else negative. The boar (an invasive animal in Florida that damages native ecosystems, btw) was dispatched by someone else and donated to the sanctuary to feed to the carnivorous animals, such as gators, crocs, etc. FYI the word carnivore means the animal only eats meat, so unless you want the sanctuary to feed living creatures to their animals, they are going to feed them dead ones. Whole feed animals including meat, organs, fur, bones are going to be healthier for the animals in their care to eat than frozen chicken breasts brought from the store (or whatever). A whole feed animal is also going to provide the animals at the sanctuary with the crucial physical, mental , etc stimulation they need. Donated food like this helps the facility keep the food costs down, which is also very important. Go ask any other wildlife sanctuary or wildlife rehab facility that works with large carnivores and you’ll find out that this kind of donated food would be gratefully received by them too. If this kind of reality is too much for you, don’t watch. But please don’t give the sanctuary a bad time for providing this kind of healthy food & enrichment to the animals in their care.
Akila is doing that on purpose.😂
😂
Akila is acting like she is proud showing off to dad... she gets high out of the water when she tears apart meat. Awesome stuff.
She's proud to show you her feast.

Definitely!
Akila having the time of her life there.
Ah, yes, invisible emu treats.
😂
Her aim is spot on! Right towards Chris! Akila is some girl!❤❤
This is what I subscribed for. Top quality educational material.
3:33 “This next parts kinda gory” the pigs eye: 🤪
oh damn... I didn't even catch that part. I must have looked away for a few seconds. I feel bad for the prey animals, but they do serve a purpose. I think in general nothing is wasted.
Now you get to see what a monster she is! And i don't mean that in a negative way! But my god is she scary!
Thank you for the awesome vlog really enjoyed the enrichment for the Gators and Crocs everyone looks so happy and healthy Poppy the narcoleptic prairie dog every time you pet him and he drops that's what I think of lol too cute!!!! Appreciate you guys and the video have a nice night guys
Haha thank you
Its called cuddle paralysis.
LOVE!!! The way Gabby plated the Mara's lunch! That is so cool and creative!
Akila is having fun showing off her prize. I thought a rack of ribs got gabby from the short. Lol.
Bambi making noises in the background
I was so distracted by Bam barking in the gator feeding time!! 😂😂😂 She was ready to jump in the second you needed to be rescued! She is just so scary!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

She is showing what she will do to you. Lol!
Good thing you're a Pro!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
❤❤❤
Awesome video Big Mac was about to get chris when he dropped it big mac he jumped a little big 💚💜🐊🥩🧡 nice video.
good to see Kitkat has finally been accepted as one of the pigs
Pffft!
I would wear a rain poncho if I ever fed Akila.
Oh nooo! Gabby! I guess Akila was really excited about “show and tell” that day… 😅
Poppy. "Food or Cuddles? CUDDLES!!!❤❤ She's without question a "Petaholic" and she needs to go to her meeting AND call her Sponsor!🤭
Love the emu antics.
“Guys they’re not pets, they’re ALLIGATORS”
*proceeds to play tug of war like Bella is a Shitzu*
Aquila is super hard working, I like it!
Akila has some set of teeth on her I can’t think of anything worse than her getting a grip of you so powerful amazing
I swear I felt the splash on me from Akila’s close up through the TV!!!😂😂😂
Her teeth are more white than most humans lol
Oh no gabby, girl I feel ya on that one gross lol, I'll just listen until it's over I can't do the whole prey item I kinda have a weak stomach, love you guys tho. I guess akila wanted yall to experience the moment with her lol. I hope yall have an amazing rest of the night

❤️🐊
Missed u guys!!!!
I love those croc teeth, so cute
This shows the power and beauty of these animals ♥️ Greetings from the Netherlands 🐊
Thanks for showing the Pigs... I thought you fed Akila Julie for a minute - ha - kidding
Great footage of Akila - props to Gabby for persevering through the hog rain. I cringed watching the short and then again here when it sprayed you.
The shift in tone whenever Kitkat enters the scene...it's almost like Kitkat theme music starts playing - and I don't even know if it's diegetic or not - Kitkat is a The Far Side cartoon come to life!🍌🍌🥥🥥
I found this super entertaining! I think it really showed us a lot about each gator/crocs personalities too! 😄🐗 We have some in the woods behind our house, here in Clermont. The neighbors definitely had a huge problem with them tearing up their lawn!
I don't think ANY OF US would have realized what that giant blob was .... until you told us! Thank you Uncle Chris!❤🤣😂🤣😅
😂
its like when a dog struts around with they stuffed animal toy. but with crocs. she's showing her appreciation of her gift
Yup Akila is definitely doing that on purpose and showing you who’s the dominant one here 😂
Amazing view of raw nature. 😮
From a Crocodile's and Alligator's point of view:
There's nothing awful about offal ...
"What do you want me to do? They're broken" 🤣
😂
This cracked me up too!
I’ve never heard Chris laugh harder! 😂
Yall deserve a sponsorship from Boar's Head after this video! Wow!
😂
Chris's smile after Gabby said u have chunks of bone in ur hair lol 🤙🏽🤙🏽priceless! 😆
Akila says “now that is a meal made for a crocodile Queen. Born in captivity or not. Chomp!
She has such white teeth … captivity looks good on her. Omg she is doing that deliberately. 😅😊😮😂🎉 sooooooo, funny.
Maybe it is the fur/course hair on the animals they are finicky about. How old is Stallone. Lol. I know you can’t tell but he is a laid back until he is not type Croc.
That's funny I made the splash zone joke on fb before I got to watch this whole video😂 that's a happy croc
OMG!! Take the zebra to a restaurant!!😂😂
Akila was showing off for the camera!!
😂
U guys have such a charmed life hashtag trigger warning 😅
Very cool 2 see them eating something natural like that...wow akila has some mighty healthy teeth ...great vid
Akila says "Where's The Beef???" (Some may not remember)... I see where the short video come from now. Enrichment you say? Does it include all the much needed vitamins?
Bella & Bic Mac are like dangerous children... Gentle and lethal at the same time.
She is saying thank you!
I am absolutely fascinated by these animals. and honestly it’s cute they spoiled “only eat organic chicken and Turkey legs” bHahahhaahhahaha
She was definitely targeting Chris, poor Gabby was collateral damage
Big Mac: "I have my own set, TYVM."
If only I could consume food and water like the emus... ♥ 🐊
I love watching your videos! Thank you for all you do. How’s Casper doing?
How long does it take for the crocodiles and alligators to digest the food?
I felt bad for Gabby. I think all the gators are too used to grocery store chicken and ribs.
I guessed the two crocs who would take the hog the best (they're also my faves). 1.Akila behaves just like her mother.Blondie is always using her head to break large pieces off with,and Akila is Blondie's 'mini-me' in everyway except her colouration.

Aquilla sure enjoyed splashing you, and she made sure she maxed out her splash zone. The rest of them wanted fillets with seasonings.
Akila was like: alright, you sure you recording?
😂
Commenting for the algorithm
Akila is a show stopper...
You wanted Stalone to visit and now he lives there. XD
I know you guys are very busy... I miss your daily videos.
There go your dreams of a crocodilian baseball team! Though Akila is very promising!
I swear Poppy invented the cuddle coma lol
😂

Don't pigs have an exceptional sense of smell? I wonder if they can smell their distant realative all over you?😅🤣
Makes me think hard on what you said about MBD in captive crocs or 🐊? I wonder if they need the brain, organs, fur et to stay healthy? I hope you do this more. I have not laughed so hard in a while either.
Oh my goodness, Emu’s are so goofy. I literally laughed out loud. Why did he think he could drink water through osmosis?
😂😂😂
So funny 🤣🤣🤣
Is it all over me, is it all over me 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Y’all 😳😱
5:22 Everyone knows that Crocs use air fryers now adays.
I am interested about your speech at the University. Is there a video by any chance? :D
This is so funny. ❤❤❤❤❤😂
@2:54 those big white teeth beautiful and scary at the same time
i wonder why they dont just use their "crushing power" vs the whiplash
3:38 i swear their head is just almost like a cow
U gotta wear a helmet lol or they're going to in the hospital put the code of "flying pig" as the medical code lol
Maybe petunia can’t chew normally because of her tusks?
What, no gravy?
Did Damon and Tadpole get any hog meat, and did they like it better than some of the others?
Natural benefits for then xx
y no trough? wouldnt it keep the ants less
How come no boar for Dino? 😢
Now the leg, huh?
Poor Gabby 😔
hi
This is the first video of yours that I turned off. This is not education nor is it entertainment.
👀
You know what you're supposed to be a sanctuary and going to take dead animals to feed a crocodile alligator whatever them animals are, it's sad 😭
They’re carnivorous animals, hopefully you know that means they only eat meat.
Firstly the hog is a feral, they are all over and invasive in many areas of Florida. Mine included.
Secondly, crocodilians are carnivores, what do you expect them to eat ? A veggie burger and fries ? They need a varried diet and a hog is something they may get in the wild. They can't be fed solely on a diet of store bought chicken. This is what will keep them healthy and growing like they should.
