Checking in on our smallest gator at the sanctuary, Tadpole! Tadpole is missing her tail, likely from a predator as a hatchling. Alligators rely on their tails for swimming, so without one life is very difficult in the wild and it’s very rare to see one survive to adulthood in the wild with this injury. Thankfully, tadpole has a great life here at the sanctuary! As this little gator grows by the month, a prosthetic tail would NOT make sense, you’d have to replace it for $6k every other month.  We also just update the sanctuary’s amazon wishlist if anyone wants to help out! I’ll post it in the comments🐊 ~~~Our rescue gators are wild caught nuisance gators that would’ve otherwise been destroyed. The state of Florida destroys 8,000 “nuisance” gators annually, but we don’t have a nuisance gators problem but rather a nuisance HUMAN problem. 1k people a day move to FL, unsustainably developing the land, and a lot of ignorant people making a nuisance out of themselves. NEVER feed a wild gator, never have kids or pets near the water, and never swim in gator habitat! And of course, never attempt anything you see in my videos!

Feeding Bella and Big Mac a snack! And talking about their sense of taste! Many people assume they can’t taste much with how quickly they swallow, but they do have a great sense of taste! My outside research says their taste is very basic and not impressive, but my personal experience has shown me it is much more powerful than what most would think or what I have read! I have seen them be able to detect a pill hidden deep in meat that I don’t think I would be able to detect in a comparable situation!  ~~~Our rescue gators are wild caught nuisance gators that would’ve otherwise been destroyed.

Working with Bella and showing her tongue! Yes gators DO have tongues, as do crocs, it’s a common myth that they don’t have tongues! The tongue is attached the entire way through, so they can’t stick it out, but it is still very muscular and functional in maneuvering things in their mouths.  ~~~Our rescue gators are wild caught nuisance gators that would’ve otherwise been destroyed.

That’s a friendly sound right??😅😂 She’s feeling very vocal and a little snappy!

Meet our newest gator, TrapJaw! Yesterday we were contacted by nuisance alligator trapper AJ about this gator with a snare wrapped so tightly around his top jaw that it started growing into his face! Luckily the initial photo looked much worse than it seems to be now, AJ was able to remove it fairly easily, and we will be treating it topically, but it does not look like it will need much medical care other than that! I’m sure he feels so much relief! We are happy to offer him a permanent home here at the sanctuary! ~~~Our rescue gators are wild caught nuisance gators that would’ve otherwise been destroyed.

Gator just wants a kiss!

Thank you so much to all of our amazing supporters!! We are so thankful for everyone who donates to the nonprofit, who buys items off the sanctuary’s Amazon wishlist, and those who leave a positive comment, hit like and share!! I know not everyone can help financially, but the best free way to help is leaving a positive comment and hitting share to help out our socials!! I mainly show the gators & crocs on here, but my sanctuary @bellowingacres is home to over TWO HUNDRED animals!! We have a huge diversity of lives saved and supported by YOU, and all of them appreciate your help, even Bella here trying to bite me!😂 ~~If you would like to donate to the care of the sanctuary animals, we greatly appreciate any support!!

Feeding Akila the Nile crocodile, she was on her good behavior today and was nice and gentle! She decided to recall her training and do everything like how she’s supposed to! It’s funny to read comments, when she’s good I’ll have lots of people saying how she’s tame and like a pet, then she’s a little crazy another video and the comments will say how she’s lost all training and that it proves you can’t train them. She’s neither a pet or an untrainable beast; she’s an intelligent apex predator that chooses to do what she wants to do that day based on whatever she wants, not what a human wants, because she’s wild animal! Wild animals are absolutely trainable, anyone who thinks otherwise is ignorant or a fool, but just as much of a fool as those who think wild predatory animals are pets. That’s why it’s important as the trainer to always remember these are intelligent wild animals that’ll do what they want when they want, and to always be ready for things to go sideways.  ~~If you would like to donate to the care of the sanctuary animals, we greatly appreciate any support!!

Cadmus, our 6’5” nile crocodile! He was previously paired up with Lyra, our 4’9” female nile and had been with her for years at their previous home, but once here in the larger enclosure he started bullying her for space. If you watch the vlogs you’ll have seen him chasing her and when we separated them. Once they’re more mature we hope to put them back together again!  ~~If you would like to donate to the care of the sanctuary animals, we greatly appreciate any support!!

Feeding Bella! Alligators are ectothermic reptiles, meaning their body temperature is regulated by the environment. When the temperature drops, their metabolism slows significantly, rendering them unable to properly digest food. This is because the enzymes necessary for breaking down food require warmth to function efficiently. If an alligator were to eat in cold weather, the food could rot in its stomach, leading to illness or even death. ~~~Our rescue gators are wild caught nuisance gators that would’ve otherwise been destroyed.
