OMG Bella is such a character, she is already trying to butter you up for more treats. Bella and Big Mac Gators are such a cute pair. they are growing leaps and bounds with their interactions with you both. it is truly amazing to see their intelligence, individuality and loveliness. Prayers for Dino and Blessings to all the animals and Chris and Gabby.
Akila has lovely coloring…and quite the pistol! As for buttering you up I think that’s more about eating you than treats, lol. Bella is so intelligent, which is part of what makes her so dangerous. Big Mac is mostly a gentle giant. I would not, however, make any assumptions that he would not bite the hand that feeds him. Their situational awareness is amazing. The explanation of bellowing, complete with song and the care not to trip any UA-cam no-nos was very funny. I resent having to endure censorship because some folks have issues around the subject of birds and bees.
Akila is a fireball. How can an animal with such an adorable face be so dangerous? 😂 Bella and Big Mac are a sweet couple. But Bella is another one that needs watching. She’s getting really brave. I sure hope Dino is eating. Bless him. I love watching you train them. I always learn something from your videos. You’re just a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for everything you and Gabby do to save these precious animals. Hugs from Tennessee.
I think jet has become one of my favorites, popie is great too. I love all the birds as well having had many cocktails and a blue and gold macaw and a double yellow head over the years. Love seeing the foxes become more friendly or at least use to you. Thanks for all you do
Love it!! Nice long vlog today of Gator training and the sanctuary!! Akila is a fast croc!! Love to see how fast they can really move on land. I wish we could hear them bellow. Hopefully, you can get it recorded when they do start up. Bella and Big Mac are doing great. Its nice to see Bella finally coming around. Just watching you work with these gators and crocs and the confidence you exude from years of hands on experience is really something to see. You are exceptionally adept at reading these animals and anticipating their mood and what they might do. That doesnt come from reading a book or watching from a distance. You only get this level of expertise from years and years of working with these animals closely. You guys are doing an amazing job with the sanctuary. I know I always say that but I really want you to know that there are thousands of us who support you and cheer for your success!!
Akila and Bella reinforce why it is that I absolutely love feisty female crocodilia! I adore Bella being totally conflicted between trying to be appealing to get food and her angry hiss and raising of her tail to show Chris how much she hates him!She is absolutely hilarious,I love her! Big Mac and Bella really are swamp puppies! Again,they just swim up to Chris and open their mouths, trying to appeal.Really hilarious!I love the spunk in both Bella and Akila! Wonderful footage of the 2 gators and 1 crocs training sessions.Gabby was being far too familiar with Big Mac for his liking!Thanks for the fantastic blog.👍🏼🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️🐊🐊🐊
Thank you for another excellent vlog guys Love watching you training with Big Mac and Bella Big Mac was definitely offended that Gabby touched him 🐊🐊❤❤ Akila was feisty today for sure. Zazu is to cute whan he's being playful thank yoy for showing that side of him . love how happy all the animals are you guys take amazing care of them . have a great night guys Thank you again
I love Bella and Big Mack listening to your lecture about reproduction with rapt attention. I know they care about the food, but it looks like you're giving them a health class.
Hi Chris Atila came in fast, but she is learning. Bella is still fiesty, and has to be patient. Big Mac is a gentle giant. ❤Alligators, Crocodiles. Cindy
I love Bella’s gator logic. I think it’s so cute. Actively choosing to come up to you for food but also defensively hissing at you for daring to get too close 😂
I loved how Bella decided to just go over the top of Big Mac and switch positions with him in hopes that she can sneak up on Chris from the other side. What a sneaky little girl
Chris and Gabby I am in awe of your expertise and knowledge. You’ve taught me so much and even though crocodilians always fascinated me, I now have a much greater appreciation for them….although you still give me a mini heart attack every so often 😂. Could you tell us more about their body language and what you’re looking at to gauge their mood and what they might do?
Bella's a feisty and vocal girl, she sure makes it known if she doesnt like something. I never knew before watching this that alligators have such a vocal range. Its so fascinating and amazing to me.
Aquila is certainly food motivated, and it's not just me 😅 Bella is like a doggo begging at the dinner table. A doggo that will take your arm if you aren't careful, but still (swamp) doggo🥰
Training is going fantastic great job Chris and I had no idea that gators were so vocal and I’ve never heard some of the sounds that they were making today. It was really amazing to see.❤
I think Akila is a dangerous animal! She is food motivated! Gatorland said she was a spitfire, and she is! She's going to take some training, and Chris is the man to do it!👍🐊
I started working at vet clinics when I was 25. I have always been an animal lover and I got my first cat when I was 11. I worked at an exotic vet clinic for over 5 years and I saw first hand exactly what Chris was talking about with reptiles and birds etc… I feel fortunate that I was able to experience holding a kinkajou and coati and fennec fox, however, I did feel bad for these animals as I don’t believe they should be pets. I will always advocate for animals to live their best lives. ❤
Although I don't think you mentioned it specifically, I notice in Akila's training that you're also making the stick her 'target zone'. She's learning if she charges up past that, she doesn't get the reward. She's such a beautiful girl, and you're doing such a great job with her. I know Gatorland must be super pleased they sent her your way. Really enjoyed the gator training today, thanks for the lengthy vlog!
Akila coming in hot!!! She was ready for that food. Oh yea thank goodness for that stick, she would have gotten you for sure. You Chris are one heck of a trainer dude, and extremely intelligent, years of experience and knowledge that's why I love watching you, savannah, dingo and brian Barczyks channel you all are amazing on so many levels. Sending bellowing acres some love. See you both on the next one
I love how you train the crocodiles and alligators again I would say and I always would say this to you Chris you have the magic touch 💋😊 God bless you and Gabby for their sanctuarie❤👍
I get so excited when a new training drops! I wish I knew what my fascination with watching you train these lovely creatures was. Perhaps because I have a whole different outlook than I did mere months ago about alligators and crocodiles. Thanks for changing my view. I hope it educates others as it has me. Whoa! Crocodile coming in hot! LOL! She learns really fast. B & B [Bella and Big Mac], are a sight to see, [And hear with those jaw pops]. So much fun to watch you train them. They are a good looking pair. Bella's kinda greedy...LOL! I hope Big Mac doesn't learn Bella's aggression. Speaking of gator poop....how long does it take for them to evacuate what you feed them. Love the vocalizations they make.
Akila came in extremely “hot”, she did start getting calming down once she realized your expectations-it was like she had forgotten, well on the bright side, she knows her name
I love that you addressed the whole “baby” gator situation. I appreciate that you guys aren’t all about reproducing captive animals - I have a hard time accepting “sanctuaries” that profit from captive animals. Thanks for being part of the solution vs part of the problem. Julie is getting SO pushy 😔 Zazu was adorable today, as were the prairie dogs. I love way they hold things in their tiny hands! Thanks for another excellent vlog 🦨🦜🐊🐢🐷🦊
It'd be really cool if you did a video breaking down the body language you observe with the gators / croc and explain what it means! Aside from the danger, is training a crocodilian similar to training any other animal (like a dog)?
It would be cool to put a trail cam or something in Dino's enclosure to see him come up for the treats you leave him. I love your channel and the work you both do. :)
I got actually nervous when you gave Gabby the stick to touch Big Mac and then Bella became pushy for the food. And instead, you just handled her flawlessy, like it was nothing. You are incredible Chris 👏
Akila def ramped up her spiciness XD Might have to think of ways to guard the pump next time you drain her pond! Weirdly I think it's cute how hissy Bella is. Like how feral cats growl at you being near but will keep eating through the growls. Also seeing them side by side really puts Big Mac's size into perspective! I think the water always made him look a bit smaller, seeing him from behind while Gabby touched him really showed a difference! Playful Zazu is super cute XD
Those foster piggies remind me of my dad. 😂 God love him but he had terrible table manners. I had to sit on his left side at the dinner table because I ate left handed like him. Omg, the noises that came out of my father while he ate was comparable to those adorable little piggies. And food would fly out of his mouth. Since I was sitting at the end of the table at the corner and he was at the very end head of the household... The food would hit me
😂 I didn't dare say a word but my mom would years later. So now I am almost phobic of loud chewing and lip smacking sounds 😅😂 Could you put a little dirt at the edge of the pond in Dino's enclosure in front of the turkey legs? Just enough to show That it was Dino that came and snagged the food? Wouldn't he leave a slide in the little dirt you leave? I know you don't want to dirty the pond but just so you are certain it is him that is eating the meat. If it is a wild animal like a raccoon 🦝 they may soon be on Dino's radar and become part of the menu. 😮 You make working with Crocs and Alligators look easy and I want to anthropomorphize the heck out of the magnificent reptiles but I know that could prove fatal if I was working with them. Keep up the awesome work you both are doing all the animals look well cared for and loved.
Great work, love the videos! Is the “frito” smell true when around a nest? I might of screwed that up, hopefully stays out of the “stupid questions” 😂! Thanks for the vlogs!
Bella and Big Mac raise their tails up when they want food/waiting to be fed. Is that natural behavior for them signaling they're hungry or is it a balancing/buoyancy mechanism?
Akila seems smart, at first it looked like she was edging closer to you but it actually seems like she might have been moving just the body forward and keeping the legs a little bit behind in a way that makes it easier to get around the stick. Also hope it is Dino nabbing the food left for him and not a bird or something, wonder how long he waits if it is him.
Greetings. Bella reminds me of my very hyper and very spiced up youngest son. When he was around two and a half I had to leave him with a carer for the day, because I underwent minor surgery. When I got home Fina told me how mad he was after I left. He kept on shouting at her "Go away", then he would go around the corner to sit and sulk, where he couldn't be seen. There once hidden away he would mutter "but don't go". Matthew didn't care about the favourite snacks I left for him. He took it extremely personally that I'd left the house and him in someone else's care. Bella hissing is her saying "go away", but the approach and open mouth is "don't go". She the one I'd be very cautious to approach. I think she's more likely to test you quite aggressively and chose her moment once she's more confident around you. Quite excited to think that the signs are that Dino might be eating during the night time. Thats what all of us are waiting for. Praying for the biggest boy to get a real appetite for food! 🍗🍗🥩🥩
When you all do open, you should have "gator watching" where people can pay to sit in and observe these magnificent critters. Some way where no fool could get to the gators. I could watch them all day
If the bellow of males correlates with their size, working to attract females and deter other males, does the bellow of females serve the same purpose? Do males prefer larger or smaller females? Additionally, do females compete with each other to be chosen by males?"
Wow, Akila is FAST! Didn't know, that legs that short can go so fast. Love how Bella is like: "i hate you, but i love that you bring food!" Uhm... That might be a silly question, but... when you collect the gator eggs... can you eat/use them? Like for baking? You talked about the lead in the meat, would that contaminate the eggs too?
If you haven't already, would love a further explanation on the body language. Like despite Bella hissing and still being a bit hostile?, in your experience, how can you tell that an alligator is "confident" enough to go for the bite?
OMG Bella is such a character, she is already trying to butter you up for more treats. Bella and Big Mac Gators are such a cute pair. they are growing leaps and bounds with their interactions with you both. it is truly amazing to see their intelligence, individuality and loveliness. Prayers for Dino and Blessings to all the animals and Chris and Gabby.
Thank you!
That was my first thought about bella in this video lol buttering him up for treats!!
I'm loving your croc trainings and I started liking crocs after watching your videos.
It's exciting to follow your journey with these crocodilians!
Glad you like them!
Akila has lovely coloring…and quite the pistol! As for buttering you up I think that’s more about eating you than treats, lol. Bella is so intelligent, which is part of what makes her so dangerous. Big Mac is mostly a gentle giant. I would not, however, make any assumptions that he would not bite the hand that feeds him. Their situational awareness is amazing. The explanation of bellowing, complete with song and the care not to trip any UA-cam no-nos was very funny. I resent having to endure censorship because some folks have issues around the subject of birds and bees.
Big Mac is absolutely awesome…Amazing the patience Chris has with these Gators and Croc’s …
🙌🐊
😂😂🤣 She FLEW to you!! Akila (spell check please) is becoming such a good girl!❤ She and Mac are the "Power Couple"!
How cute is Zazu, wanting you to chase him! Love them all! ❤
He’s a sweetheart when he wants to be
I love the "PLOP!" sound when you throw the food haha, it's just so funny
These are the videos i love Alligators and Crocodile plus everything else 😂 I love them 🐊 Greetings from the Netherlands 🐊
Thanks for sharing all this educational information. You guys are really great at explaning things.
Our pleasure!

Akila is a spicy girl. Loves her snacks. Big mack and Bella remind me of baby birds with their mouths open. Love the hiss.
❤️🐊
Thank you for another excellent vlog guys Love watching you training with Big Mac and Bella Big Mac was definitely offended that Gabby touched him 🐊🐊❤❤ Akila was feisty today for sure. Zazu is to cute whan he's being playful thank yoy for showing that side of him . love how happy all the animals are you guys take amazing care of them . have a great night guys Thank you again

Bella and Mac are a power couple!
Big Mac n Bella have came such a long way. Doing an awesome job chris❤
Thanks!
Akilia was a little feisty today..!!! Your so good at that Croc training… thanks Chris & Gabby 👍🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Always!
Big Mac and Bella with their tails up in the air are adorable 🥺💚🐊
Omg I know! Agree
❤️🐊
Hi Chris Atila came in fast, but she is learning. Bella is still fiesty, and has to be patient. Big Mac is a gentle giant. ❤Alligators, Crocodiles. Cindy
Jet is so adorablex❤
Bella's thought process was so cute and funny:
1st Go away I hate you!
2nd Wait... that's food 🤔
3rd More? (Makes Baby-noises) 😂
😂😂😂
Akila has some nice white teeth. She definitely brushes and flosses often.😂
I love Bella’s gator logic. I think it’s so cute. Actively choosing to come up to you for food but also defensively hissing at you for daring to get too close 😂
😂
Akila is really something! 😂Even my dogs never came so quickly when I called them.
😂
Hazel is losing her fur pants. Lol 😂 Poppy can relate. Everytime I see the cactus in my yard i think of Jumanji. Goodnight and Goodbye Olaf!
😂
OmG, Gabby!!! Thank you for zooming in on Akila's Beautiful toothy face!!!! ❤
I loved how Bella decided to just go over the top of Big Mac and switch positions with him in hopes that she can sneak up on Chris from the other side. What a sneaky little girl
What a sneaky Big girl 😂
Akila’s head looks so much bigger! I agree with you about what you said about her growing!
Chris and Gabby I am in awe of your expertise and knowledge. You’ve taught me so much and even though crocodilians always fascinated me, I now have a much greater appreciation for them….although you still give me a mini heart attack every so often 😂. Could you tell us more about their body language and what you’re looking at to gauge their mood and what they might do?
She is stunning and super speedy!
Yep!
Bella's a feisty and vocal girl, she sure makes it known if she doesnt like something. I never knew before watching this that alligators have such a vocal range. Its so fascinating and amazing to me.
Kira has the cutest little paws! She has white on her toes which is too cute!
Aquila is certainly food motivated, and it's not just me 😅
Bella is like a doggo begging at the dinner table. A doggo that will take your arm if you aren't careful, but still (swamp) doggo🥰
Chris might need to bring that gator stick when feeding the pigs... Julie would like to speak to the manager! 😄
😂
Training is going fantastic great job Chris and I had no idea that gators were so vocal and I’ve never heard some of the sounds that they were making today. It was really amazing to see.❤
Thanks 👍
That's a gator whisperer right there.
🙌🐊
Bella went from shy and scared to "I am willing to risk it for food."
😂
Same here
The gators and Akila are already getting with your program. Super smart dinosaurs 👍🏻
🙌🐊
I think Akila is a dangerous animal! She is food motivated! Gatorland said she was a spitfire, and she is! She's going to take some training, and Chris is the man to do it!👍🐊
She’s quick and spicy 😂
Agree! Yay Chris.
Sultan and Blondie's baby's smokin' !!!Niles rule !👍🏼🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️🐊🐊🐊
The things you do with the crocodilians is frightening to watch at times, but you are so good at it.
🙌🐊

Big Mac keeps nipping at bella trying to keep her in line. He's like hey, stop doing that mess! Messing with our food supply girl 😂
😂

You Chris are one heck of a trainer dude, and extremely intelligent, years of experience and knowledge that's why I love watching you, savannah, dingo and brian Barczyks channel you all are amazing on so many levels.

Thank you!! Big Mac wont learn from Bella exactly, but if one gets away with something it’ll encourage others to do the same, if that makes sense
I love slowly getting to know these gators (+akila) and their personalities 💜 thank you so much for letting us be part of the journey
I love her and Bella so much. Amazing ladies! 🐊
I think this was the first time I have seen the Nile croc came out in her. It is good for people to see how fast these beasts can move.
She’s quick!
You guys are so brave ! I find myself almost shaking with nerves watching you feeding the alligators and crocodile.
She is READY!
Wow, Bella, girl, you are clever, you're learning quick.
Mac is a giant gator-puppy chewing on a stick!
She’s quick!

Thank you!
Thanks for the video! You are super-brave with those alligators!
I have gone from ahhhhh gator! To awww gator ❤🐊
😂
So glad you mentioned the arm thing....I was nervous even though I know u know what your doing
Look at Akila anticipating those food bites. 😂
How quickly they learn!! Awesome
Two new sounds I didn’t know an alligator made!
The piggy chewing smacks are too cute. ❤
Spicy Akila!🌶️❤
She is! 😂
When Gabby said it’s all you Chris regarding vocalizations. To myself I said, “yes, you are Chris Gillette!”
Its hard to believe (and unsettling lol) how fast crocs can move when they want to.
She’s quick!
It'd be really cool if you did a video breaking down the body language you observe with the gators / croc and explain what it means!
Aside from the danger, is training a crocodilian similar to training any other animal (like a dog)?

I got actually nervous when you gave Gabby the stick to touch Big Mac and then Bella became pushy for the food. And instead, you just handled her flawlessy, like it was nothing. You are incredible Chris 👏
Akila def ramped up her spiciness XD Might have to think of ways to guard the pump next time you drain her pond!
Weirdly I think it's cute how hissy Bella is. Like how feral cats growl at you being near but will keep eating through the growls.

Playful Zazu is super cute XD
Big Mac is a big boy for sure!
It’s always those girls that really want you… Bella Ms Toothy…lol😂. Have you gotten the opportunity to see Aries or Toothy lately?
Bella wants all the food !😅
Bella thinks there’s a whole bowl there I can just eat them all ya know. Whilst Big Mac waits patiently ❤❤❤
Akila is one spicy meatball 😂
She is!
Wow! Akila is feeling quite comfortable 😅
Those foster piggies remind me of my dad. 😂 God love him but he had terrible table manners. I had to sit on his left side at the dinner table because I ate left handed like him.

That Nile Crocodile quick and nimble she a smart lil reptile got to watch her she fisty and looking for a opportunity to strike 🤣💚👌
She’s quick!
Love watching you and Akila interact. She is definitely the darling of your channel.
She’s awesome! 🐊
Great work, love the videos! Is the “frito” smell true when around a nest? I might of screwed that up, hopefully stays out of the “stupid questions” 😂! Thanks for the vlogs!
These gators was funny there personalities are really starting to come out
Makes me think of Teddy Roosevelt. speak softly and carry a big stick
😂
❤❤❤
That is cool 🎊. You should be in bad boy 4. That is training. Now for binoculars. 😅
Hi Chris & Gabby love your channel, but I think my blood pressure went up watching you feed Bella!
😂
Bella and Big Mac raise their tails up when they want food/waiting to be fed.
Is that natural behavior for them signaling they're hungry or is it a balancing/buoyancy mechanism?
Akila seems smart, at first it looked like she was edging closer to you but it actually seems like she might have been moving just the body forward and keeping the legs a little bit behind in a way that makes it easier to get around the stick. Also hope it is Dino nabbing the food left for him and not a bird or something, wonder how long he waits if it is him.
Greetings.
Bella reminds me of my very hyper and very spiced up youngest son.
When he was around two and a half I had to leave him with a carer for the day, because I underwent minor surgery.
When I got home Fina told me how mad he was after I left. He kept on shouting at her "Go away", then he would go around the corner to sit and sulk, where he couldn't be seen. There once hidden away he would mutter "but don't go".
Matthew didn't care about the favourite snacks I left for him. He took it extremely personally that I'd left the house and him in someone else's care.
Bella hissing is her saying "go away", but the approach and open mouth is "don't go".
She the one I'd be very cautious to approach. I think she's more likely to test you quite aggressively and chose her moment once she's more confident around you.
Quite excited to think that the signs are that Dino might be eating during the night time. Thats what all of us are waiting for.
Praying for the biggest boy to get a real appetite for food! 🍗🍗🥩🥩
i think she came racing over because she saw you and said "hey my buddy!"
That’s a hard no
@@GatorChris_ haha! i was kidding.
@@GatorChris_ Chris, she acted more like toothy in this video.
When you all do open, you should have "gator watching" where people can pay to sit in and observe these magnificent critters. Some way where no fool could get to the gators. I could watch them all day
Was wondering when we would see Akila run✌
I think Timothy’s front legs look skinnier than before.
If the bellow of males correlates with their size, working to attract females and deter other males, does the bellow of females serve the same purpose? Do males prefer larger or smaller females? Additionally, do females compete with each other to be chosen by males?"
Why does the area around Big Macs eyes sink in and out? kinda like u can see it breathing ….love your guys videos!!
Big Mac is so much more chill then Bella lol
Wow, Akila is FAST! Didn't know, that legs that short can go so fast.
Love how Bella is like: "i hate you, but i love that you bring food!"
Uhm... That might be a silly question, but... when you collect the gator eggs... can you eat/use them? Like for baking? You talked about the lead in the meat, would that contaminate the eggs too?
If you haven't already, would love a further explanation on the body language. Like despite Bella hissing and still being a bit hostile?, in your experience, how can you tell that an alligator is "confident" enough to go for the bite?
