Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]So, the trailer hitch won't stay on the trailer of meat. How y'all doing up there? It's good. You're like Spider-Man holding the trailer hitch.

[00:00:07]This thing was not meant to go this fast and it's already broken.

[00:00:10]>> We got our meat back here [music] ready for the day.

[00:00:12]>> Going to do this big feeding because it's starting to get warm. It's spring.

[00:00:16]We got to feed all the crocodiles, but I'm also going to do a training session with Morton try and get him to shift over into the center pool. So, I got him a starter piece and then I got the big bonus piece, but he's going to have to work for it. I'm going to put it all the way up by the shift door. So, he's going to have to come pretty much all the way out to get it.

[00:00:30]>> I say you open it and get him over there today.

[00:00:32]>> I keep zoning out. I don't know what my what what's my part here.

[00:00:34]>> Keep Jay safe. That's your part. Keep Jay safe.

[00:00:38]>> I like Jay.

[00:00:38]>> Why is Sheila not attacking us? I feel like this is going to go way better than I thought.

[00:00:44]Come on, Morton.

[00:00:46]Oh, there. You woke Sheila up now. Come on, man.

[00:00:50]>> Well, we knew that was going to happen.

[00:00:51]>> You woke Sheila up. We were surprised it didn't happen before that.

[00:00:54]>> He only gets to eat over there now.

[00:00:56]That's the training. I'm going to have to get her out of the way. She's going to after you. Can you stay sleep, girl?

[00:01:11]Sheila?

[00:01:16]>> [music] >> Oh, I see him. I see his back.

[00:01:19]>> There he is. There he is. Sheila, Morton's right there. Don't do it, girl.

[00:01:23]Oh, man.

[00:01:26]And then she felt him and she was like, "Uh-oh." Back to Morton.

[00:01:29]>> know where Morton's at.

[00:01:31]>> [music] >> Morton. Sheila, you're causing problems.

[00:01:35]Big Sheila. Come on, big girl. Come on.

[00:01:38]Come on. Get over here. Come on.

[00:01:41]Big girl. Big girl.

[00:01:43]Come on.

[00:01:45]Oh, he's right there. Morton, let's go.

[00:01:48]Oh, he's creeping. He's doing his thing.

[00:01:50]Okay. Come on, Morton.

[00:01:52]She's going back in.

[00:01:56]Morton.

[00:01:58]Come on.

[00:01:59]Morton. Yeah, come all the way up but I'm training you to go in the shift.

[00:02:03]Here you go. There it is. Mike, shake the piece of meat a little bit.

[00:02:06]>> Oh yeah, I'm going to walk right on over there. Morton's got a shifty eyes. Oh, he's coming for her. Hey, Morton. Hey.

[00:02:12]Let's go. What did you give him, a chicken? I gave him a chicken to get him started. Should have brought bacon.

[00:02:17]>> Hey Mike, splash the water. Remember how you told Savannah that one day?

[00:02:20]>> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell him, Oscar.

[00:02:23]Hey, he's looking at me.

[00:02:25]MORTON, COME ON.

[00:02:31]>> [music] >> YEAH. GOOD JOB, BUDDY. YOU almost ready to go through, aren't you? So, we're training him so he'll be able to use this shift and go through into the next pool. He's never eaten over here, so we're gradually getting him used to this as a feeding spot and then when we're ready, we'll open this shift up and we'll throw the food and we'll get him to walk through without ever having to catch him. Is it going to take as long as that just took? Probably longer.

[00:02:55]>> I'm a comedian, man. I'm killing it out there with the crowd.

[00:02:59]See, look at that. All right, next? All right. Hey, Sundy. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

[00:03:03]Sundy, right here, right here, right here, right here. All right, we're running. We're running for it, Oscar.

[00:03:07]>> You better run quick.

[00:03:10]Big fella, I got you right here. Up.

[00:03:13]UP.

[00:03:15]UP.

[00:03:16]OH, SUNDY.

[00:03:19]All right, YOU GOT IT? He's a little slow on that one, I feel like.

[00:03:23]Big fella.

[00:03:24]Say that.

[00:03:26]Up.

[00:03:28]Yeah, that one was smooth.

[00:03:31]Around the corner?

[00:03:32]Up, up.

[00:03:34]There you go. Good job.

[00:03:37]Oh, you want to see Oscar? Oh, buddy. That was actually great. Now I can leave.

[00:03:43]Well, I'm not going by the water side.

[00:03:44]I'm about to have to go for a swim. All right, I don't know where she's at, so just watch. I know, she's going to come up here.

[00:03:49]>> Hey, I'm going to hit the water.

[00:03:50]>> Yep, yep, yep, Lundy!

[00:03:53]Come on.

[00:03:54]Lundy, let's go.

[00:03:57]He's thinking about it. Yeah, he's like, I ain't buying that. I mean, I can make it right now.

[00:04:02]>> Yeah, I think you can. Do it.

[00:04:03]>> Wait, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

[00:04:05]>> [laughter] >> WHERE'S THE BIG FELLA?

[00:04:22]DUDE, THIS IS A BIG PIECE OF MEAT. YEAH, Ricardo's going to be happy. All right, once we go, are we all clear? Yeah, go around that way, but if he's over there, I got to know where to go.

[00:04:30]>> He he should go Yeah, should.

[00:04:32]>> go in the water. But I doubt it.

[00:04:33]>> Yeah, I doubt it, too. You follow Oscar.

[00:04:35]All right, you got to shut that door behind you. Uh-huh.

[00:04:38]Coming in?

[00:04:41]Go around the tree. Stay, keep going that way. I'll get out with Ricardo.

[00:04:45]Ricardo. Chayton.

[00:04:47]Chayton, here. All right, you're good to go by the waterfall.

[00:04:50]>> [music] >> Oh, how did you miss that?

[00:05:02]Aw.

[00:05:05]Throw it out, boys.

[00:05:08]Get it.

[00:05:11]>> [music] >> He's bringing it over here. Cuban crocodiles are just amazing. Now, they don't take down like that big prey like they do in countries where there are Nile crocodiles or big saltwater crocodiles. They are a smaller-bodied crocodile, the Cuban crocodile, but they are way faster. They have the longest back legs of any crocodile species. You can see Ricardo's back legs back there.

[00:05:33]And they gallop on land, and it's a true gallop, like what a horse would do.

[00:05:37]Ricardo is our favorite. So, if you see other Cuban crocodiles at zoos and facilities, what you want to do is say, "Gracias to Ricardo." Cuz he is the father of many Cuban crocodiles in the United States. Ricardo's the best. He's tired now. That was a big piece of meat.

[00:05:52]Hear that noise in the background? It's a limpkin. Why is he so fired up this morning?

[00:05:59]Where are you?

[00:06:02]Where are you, limpkin? Hello?

[00:06:07]Hello? I don't know where he's at. I wanted to Limpkin!

[00:06:14]I can't even [music] see him in the trees. Limpkin!

[00:06:18]Where is that thing? Right there. Where?

[00:06:21]That's a vulture, Mike.

[00:06:22]>> No, to the right of the vulture.

[00:06:25]At the very top. Why is he up there just yelling this morning?

[00:06:28]>> Wants us to leave his area.

[00:06:30]Limpkin!

[00:06:31]We're about to go in with Walter, the American crocodile. His baby mama just laid some eggs, so he's going to be a dad soon. So, we got to go in there and give him a reward. Now, Walter's one of my absolute favorite crocodiles, if not my favorite. He actually came from South Florida. He was a wild American crocodile in there that was deemed a nuisance. Joe Wasilewski had him down there, and he actually re-homed him here. So, we're going to go in there and give him a nice treat this morning.

[00:06:52]Holding Walter in place so Oscar can get all the food and everything and get in that gate over yonder. He doesn't have a whole lot of land space, so we're just trying to give him as much of an advantage. Walter, hold on. Walter, hold Oh, he's coming.

[00:07:05]Walter.

[00:07:06]You good? Yeah, I'm going to I might need that stick when I corner myself.

[00:07:11]There you go.

[00:07:13]Oh, that was spicy. Yeah, that was a little more heated than I thought it would be.

[00:07:19]Going into a corner, dude. Well, that's what I'm saying. I don't really have a lot of room. Walter, right here.

[00:07:24]Walter, here.

[00:07:25]Come on. There you go.

[00:07:28]Whoa.

[00:07:32]THAT WAS A GOOD JUMP, BUDDY.

[00:07:33]>> THAT WAS GOOD. That was a really good one.

[00:07:36]And there he goes.

[00:07:38]>> [laughter] >> Now, we're going into Bonnie and Clyde's. This is an American crocodile exhibit about our native American crocodiles. However, Clyde's a bit confused and he thinks he's a saltwater crocodile and he behaves like a saltwater crocodile. American crocodiles are usually a little less aggressive and they're kind of secretive and they try to hide.

[00:07:58]Not him. He comes at you full bore.

[00:08:00]Bonnie!

[00:08:03]Oh, he turned and hit the stump and it stopped him. Dadgum, that plan was going to work.

[00:08:09]>> This is another example of how smart crocodiles are. No doubt he knows that Mike still has food in his hand. He can see it. And he's not trying to go down there when he knows he could just come over here and eat from you. I The goal is he don't eat me. Like that.

[00:08:27]That was a good catch. That was like a shortstop.

[00:08:31]You're welcome. Bonnie! Here she comes.

[00:08:33]Come on, girl. Bonnie! Come on, girl.

[00:08:36]We're trying to get her away from Sultan. Big girl.

[00:08:39]Bonnie!

[00:08:45]Mike, call your crocodile.

[00:08:46]>> [laughter] >> Mike, you're supposed to call yours. I just called him. You stopped him.

[00:08:51]>> I called her. Hey, Bubba.

[00:08:53]Sultan.

[00:08:54]Sultan. Come here, boy.

[00:08:56]Come here.

[00:08:58]Bonnie and Sultan are two Nile crocodiles. They've been a couple for a very long time. Bonnie is a xanthic Nile crocodile, which means most of that dark pigment has been pulled out of her. But she's exactly the same kind of crocodile that Lyle is. Now, when you talk about aggression in Nile crocodiles, Nile crocodiles are notoriously the most aggressive. I might not agree with that.

[00:09:17]Wild crocodiles, like the Nile crocodiles, do take down gigantic animals, gazelles, impalas, all of those kinds of things. Their aggression level here in our park is very, very minimum.

[00:09:28]The salties are definitely on point more than the Niles here. In my opinion, Mike's going to tell you different, so let's go listen to what he has to say.

[00:09:34]All right. While you were over there playing with Bonnie, I got Sultan ready to go. He's our biggest male Nile crocodile, second to Lyle. So, this is he's the biggest male in here, Blondie's husband. We're going to give him a piece for posing. Now, Nile crocodiles are listed as probably the most aggressive crocodilian on the planet. It's debatable. They do kill and eat more people every year than some of the other species. However, they use water a little different where these guys are from in Africa. And these guys are known for taking down big stuff like antelope, wildebeest, gazelles. Hardly explains why they're usually so nasty and so aggressive because they have to be in order to get the food. During the park, they're not quite as bad, but it is a personality. Some of them have good attitudes, some of them have bad attitudes. Usually, Sultan has a pretty laid-back, casual kind of personality, which allows us to work with him on a close, one-on-one basis. I would say that he's in a 1% tile of behavior like this for a Nile crocodile, so that's what makes him special. This is his big piece. This is the bonus. So, we're going to see if we can get him to smile.

[00:10:31]Hey, big boy. Good job, big boy. Oh, look at that.

[00:10:40]Oh, and a little burp. Did you guys hear the burp? I love a crocodile burp.

[00:10:43]Crocodile burp's one of my favorite things besides alligator boogers. Good job, buddy. And then always, we always finish with a little a little chin scratch. Yeah. Good job.

[00:10:54]Such a pretty crocodile.

[00:10:55]>> Look how close Mike's face is to that Nile crocodile.

[00:10:58]>> Well, well, watch this. There you go. I got to go on the side and not chicken.

[00:11:02]Crazy. That's just crazy. I got chicken on my lip. I don't understand why you did that. I got chicken on my lip. I don't understand why you kiss crocodiles.

[00:11:10]>> cuz I can. Oh. All right. Well, that makes sense.

[00:11:13]>> kissing him. You got to get it where you can. AH! YOU STAY OVER THERE and worry about your crocodile.

[00:11:18]>> This is the crocodile comedy show here on Gatorland Vlogs. Make sure you guys let us know who you think is the funniest.

[00:11:25]>> Don't laugh at Oscar cuz he'll never stop.

[00:11:27]>> And right now, we got to jump out of here and go to our other channel. It's called Gatorland Live, and that's where we do all of our live videos on Wednesdays at 3:00 and on Sundays at noon.
