- Hey, good morning, everybody.
And welcome to the vlog. Guess who I have with me?
That's right. Robbie jazzy the legend,
the man. We linked up. Of course today is?
- CrocFest!
- CrocFest. It's all about conservation
and the money raised today is
going to Orinoco conservation, which is so huge.
So obviously I'm here with Chrissy, of course.
The Gatorland extraordinaire. And of course,
this is what this event is all about is that Orinoco
crocodiles. And you have, what do you have?
One or two of these?
- [Chrissy] We have two right now,
- Two little babies. Now Orinoco crocodiles,
it's all about the conservation.
I mean, there's literally less
than a couple thousand left in the wild.
They've been protected since the seventies,
but still with a habitat loss.
But the fact that they're still being poached,
it's critically endangered animal
and all of the funds from CrocFest
are actually going
to conservation with Orinoco croc's right?
Now, these guys look at huge, right?
- Absolutely. So on average,
you're looking at about a 20 foot crocodile.
So these guys get absolutely massive,
but this little girl here is going to be part of a headstart
program that we've,
that we're working with the Gladys Porter Zoo.
And we're one of a very few slim selection of facilities
here in Florida. That is actually part of this.
So our two girls are being raised completely hands off,
as best as to our ability,
obviously minus our encounter right now.
So that way they don't associate people with food or
anything like that.
So they're getting all whole prey live prey.
That way they learn to hunt at a very young age.
Of course, when they're going to be released
out in the wild,
they're not going to have somebody come in them,
some chicken or something like that.
So, needs to be all on their own terms and just their skills
that they develop at a very young age starts now.
- Oh my gosh. And by the way, I don't know about you guys,
but in the comments,
let me know if you want Chrissy to take over the vlog
because I'll be honest with you.
I got nothing else to say.
That was amazing Chrissy.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Thank you guys.
This guy is going to be, what are you doing today?
You're just kind of hanging out?
- Just hanging out, man.
Checking out all the animals, the cool animals,
the cool people that are hanging down here.
And having a blast.
- That's awesome.
He's going to be vlogging over on his channel.
So I'm going to put a link in the description.
You can go watch another perspective on his side.
Let's go in and have a great time.
All right. So the first thing that it's going on
is we're actually going to be watching feeding crocodiles.
I think we're going to do like Nile crocodiles,
salt water crocodiles,
some more saltwater crocodiles,
some more Nile crockers.
I'm not a hundred percent sure, uh this guy, Mike,
of course you guys might remember him for our vlog.
He's the guy that really knows what's going on.
So I tried to talk to Savannah. She didn't know.
Right, but Mike will know.
(band music)
- Hey everybody over there, and over here.
Welcome to CrocFest at Gatorland
(cheering)
(cheering intensifies)
(chatter)
- Every hosted and were happy to be a part of it.
That guy...
(chatter)
- So obviously we we're in Sultan's cage.
This is the, probably my favorite Nile crocodile.
Certainly relationship that Mike has over here with him is
just absolutely amazing. It's a gigantic crocodile,
but it's cool how he has him docile.
He'll go right up on this rock. He'll pet him his chin.
It's just absolutely amazing. So see...
(chuckle)
- Come on, come on down.
- Oh she's... - Come on big girl.
Come on big girl. Here!
- And this is Mike, over here,
look at Sultan just climb up on that rock.
It's absolutely incredible.
- Big girl!
There you go,
there you go.
Big girl!
Up, a little bit more.
There you go.
- You need more chicken?
- My crocodile's on point today!
(cheering)
- [Cameraman] Yay!
(laughing)
- That's the best I can do.
(screaming)
Oh no!
(crowd laughing)
I'm sorry girl.
- [Cameraman] Hold on, that might have moved
Sultan out the way.
(laughing) - That was great Savannah
He did. He got her.
You did it.
- I did, I was like (weird sound)
Cause she would snatch my arm off.
(chuckling) - Yeah.
- Here comes your girlfriend.
(distant chatter)
- Definitely having issues with getting Sultan.
Normally Sultan comes up here, she's really good.
But that's what happens with animals.
You never know really what's going to happen.
- Like that?
You're going to get you.
- Mikes gonna try and scratch his chin on the ground.
He's stupid. (chuckle)
- Come on up!
- All right! So now were gonna move around this way,
to our saltwater crocodiles and you guys can just come right
this way.
- The next up is the saltwater croc.
So these guys are a little bit high energy.
I'm not going to lie to you.
So it's going to be a lot of fun.
- Sheila!
- Ohh this story going to get some
explosion out of the water.
It's going to be amazing.
- [Savannah] Pay attention to where Brian is, Mike?
- [Mike] Yep. I got this tree.
- Yeah, I would do go that way.
- Okay. You got it.
- Its just, that's my safety tree.
- [Mike] Only one of us gets around.
I pushed you down on the ground.
(crowd shocked)
(crowd cheering)
- There you are.
Good job! Good job!
(crowd cheering)
- [Crowd1] He did what he was supposed to do.
- [Savannah] Brian, you can go behind the tree
- Yeah!
- [Savannah] And facing you, ahh dang it Mike!
- [Brian] What do you mean? He's all the way over here.
- So we're in it with Dundee now
and you can see him right over here.
- He's coming for you.
Dundee!
This way!
- Every time I turn.
- Focus!
- [Mike] There you go.
- Watch the gates, closed it.
The gate. (laughing)
- Good job.
- Go get 'em!
Go get 'em!
Good job!
And the crowd goes wild!
(crowd cheering)
- [Crowd2] Where she at?
(water splashing)
- Yah!
Yah!
Go get 'em!
He's tired now.
- You gotta work.
He's gotta work.
He's tired.
- There you go, good boy.
- Give a big round of applauds to Dundee.
(crowd applauding)
- Hey Max what are you doing?
You're doing some training right?
- Apparently, yeah.
Yeah. I'm training everything.
I train pretty much every animal that exists.
I'm a full-time animal trainer.
- He actually trained Godzilla for the movie.
- Yeah.
You saw when he did that when we bit the person in half.
Yeah. I taught him that. - Oh my God,
it's so good to meet you.
What's your name again?
- Max. - Max?
- I just go by Max.
- That's sort of like,
he's sort of like Prince, one name.
- Oh, this is my buddy Max.
You guys know him. He's amazing.
So he's going to be doing some stuff with like
some little cats sometimes.
- Yeah. We've got a serval and a bobcat.
- Awesome. - Yeah.
I'm gonna be fun.
- No pressure. No pressure,
but I'm going to keep an eye on you.
- I'm going to do my best.
(upbeat band music)
- So obviously there's festivities kind of all day.
I'm not really even sure what those festivities are,
to be honest with you.
But I think that if I'm not mistaken,
"Jumparoo" is something that I'm going to be doing
with Savannah. I think Savannah and I are going to be doing.
I think it might even be kicking off the CrocFest.
Not a hundred percent sure. Again,
I don't know what's going on,
but all day there's kind of things happening.
We're running into a lot of people
that kind of know us or something.
We ran into a guy that comes to erupt here all of time.
And now lives down here. So that was absolutely epic.
So yeah, hopefully it will be the jumparoo.
I don't even know what we do.
I think that we get alligators to jump as high as we can.
I don't know. We'll find out.
- Look at her eye shadow.
- I know, I see, she looks great.
Its amazing, a little tiny Savannah.
How loud can you talk?
Can you talk super loud?
- Yeah.
- Call a crocodile for me, call one.
- Call Buster.
- Say "Buster!"
- Buster!
Buster!
Do it like Michael.
Buster!
(laughing)
That's Blackwater. That's Mark. That's me, and that's Bubba.
And last year they made my cookie,
but they made my cookie so fat.
It was the fattest cookie.
It was the fattest cookie in the world.
Like, like it was as if I was a pregnant cookie last year.
So this year we had to get them to shave it down and give it
a little definition.
- Savannah has her own, her own gingerbread cookie.
- Did you see Gator Clause?
- I haven't seen yet.
- Oh my gosh,
you gotta see Gator Clause. And we have a Krampus croc.
- Oh my God.
Yeah. They have all kinds of cool stuff.
We're going to have fun. Definitely a good day.

Oh my God. Copper barrels are so amazing.

because normally what he does is he likes to kill his prey.
So he smacks and and coo's yeah. So he would smack you.
