I love it too!! Makes him really interested in the animals and wants to learn! Freaking love it!!! So happy for Matt to be able to help Kenan at the Kamp, but also to be around the animals!!!
@@RandomPerson-tu2hy I’m just curious what about catching a turtle inspired the comment about an “alien’s anal probe.” Hey Kenan you been on “The Hub” lately my dude? 🤣
Sure. You're right about Matt's good side. But do you think Matt is "slow" or just "kind of dumb"? No, you don't. You just complimented his insight and intelligence. Again, you're correct. So why did he get so close to the turtle's mouth? With Kenan repeatedly warning him to back away? Matt stuck Kenan's camera "in range" just to see the damage. Kenan kept cool while his camera got chewed. If you were Kenan, would you want Matt to watch your back in an alligator pen? Yeah, no. I got a problem with Matt's dark side. It just reeks of an unemployment check.
You made me LOL with that Sparta thing!! I love it when you're in "teacher" mode. Some ppl think you're being weird but this channel is about education. You are also teaching Matt so things may seem a little different to others. You're an incredible keeper and educator. I learn so much and my grandson loves watching you. Thank you Kenan.
She is so prehistoric looking, I always flinch when Kenan gets in the pond with nothing protecting his feet 🦶🏻 especially knowing there’s snappers in there. Tom will love this post and see her doing well 🤗🐢🤗
Great educational Video Kenan...Awesome insight into the truth of our detachment from nature and how attuned animas are...Matt love your energy involvement as well..
I love having Matt on here now. Y’all seem to have a really good friendship. He asks so many of the questions that I also want to know, and you do such an amazing job explaining things to us. Thanks!!!
I am loving these sessions with Matt! You have been giving nice little primers about each animal and Matt's questions/observations are what I am asking.
I maybe was the only person who picked the Behemoth Gator Snapper as my favorite Kenan shelter animal during recent survey. I like the common snappers too, especially the new girl that was sunk in the mud in recent video, named little dudette.
Your excitement to educate and be around your animals really reminds me of Steve Irwin in his early days in aus tv. I great up and went to school near Australia Zoo so have watched it evolve through the last few decades. Keep up your wonderful work! 🇦🇺
@@theflyingdutchguy9870 yeah the osteoderms do resemble them kind of. My gramp grew up in the everglades and he always told me it was because they hang near gators. Kind of makes sense too because about 75% of the time when I saw gators, alligator snappers were close by
I agree their name could Ha e come from their bite, but also don't you think the pointy parts of their shell reminds one of the scales of an alligator. She looks healthy and happy, thanks Kenan for sharing.
I was leaning back watching the video knowing she will bite the camera. lol. The last rolling-into-the-pond made me lol too. They are magnificent animals. Another great educational video!!
Another great video, very educational, I am glad no one was hurt, and I am sorry about the camera, but that was awesome lol,we were actually in the mouth of a gator snapper lol,great questions Matt, I am so happy you ask them because it's questions alot of us have and can get answers right away, I appreciate them Matt so keep asking them please, and Kenan is very knowledgeable, can't wait for the next video!
I remember when you were given both the Snappers from a cement pond at Tom’s. The female looks like she has put on some size. Looking very healthy and her skin looks better being in a natural pond.
Yeah, I don't think Kenan NEEDS only Matt to ask intelligent questions. I say it takes one to know one. After all, a person needs to be intelligent, to be able to recognize someone else's intelligence. So frankly, I think you and all the others in here who are complimenting Matt... any of you could be as good as Matt. But I trust you more than I trust Matt. Matt ignores your warnings, and breaks your camera, just to watch it happen, and doesn't say "sorry". What would happen if you broke your boss's gear WHILE he was telling you not to, and then just sat there chuckling with no apology? Seriously? Matt's doing a great job? Go ahead. Post a video of you breaking your boss's stuff right in his face.
@@wasteddude9387 Holy shit you've been busy going after Matt.... The fact that you have been commenting on every freaking comment, when people have complimented Matt.... How do you know if Matt haven't said sorry for the camera after the shooting.... the fact that Kenan was busy to talk about the snapper I am pretty sure that he didn't want to interrupt...
@@aviaaja3439 Yeah, right. How do you know he did? DUH! And why are you burning me for defending Kenan? I'm just reacting to what I see, just like you are. Can you say "hypocrite"?
Kenan, that probably named them alligator snappers because of the jaws like you said but gators also have those scutes or dermal ridges along their backs which the turtles have on their carapaces and these turtles have long tails like you said and so does an actual alligator. Maybe that is why they called them alligator snappers because of those three features. These are my favorite animal on the planet. 🐢👍🏼
And they have a cool long dragon tail. Most turtles have short stupid tails lol. They are still cool though just not as epic. All turtles are created equal
I live in upstate NY and a few weeks back spotted a snapping turtle basking on the black top side road, of course it's rather busy so I used a cleaning tool to nudge him or her back to the small lake, it took over 20 minutes but finally returned to the water, I was so happy since a fuel delivery truck came barreling down that very road, so I saved the snapping turtle, 😀❤
I have the last Iguana from Tom Crutchfields farm! It's doing very well 😁It's a key lime Albino, a new unproven morph. It has a very nice key lime green tint to the skin. I hand feed him twice a day and he basically comes running when it's time to feed 🤣😁
Like Kenan said snappers aren’t aggressive in the water, they look to escape and won’t actually bite until you take them out. I wouldn’t want to test this theory however...
Tom, the music 🎶 you played while Kenan was waiting to catch the female alligator snapper was perfect 😆 and Kenan susshing Matt during was everything!! 🤣 but, seriously, great video Matt. You're doing great (even tho you tried to feed her the camera 🤣) but seriously, you are saying the things and asking the questions we're thinking and wanting to ask in person. Thank you both for such an informative video and for not doing any anal probes!! Bahahahaha
Amazing video Kamp Kutie..lol..What a monster she is!!!..I was hoping you'd feed her for us....well besides the camera..LOL!~!..and I love Matt!!! Besides the animals, he gives us all the views of you...Wonderful honey!!!🥰🥰🥰
Matt would be near perfect if he didn't break his boss's camera while his boss was repeatedly asking him to back away. Matt just essentially ignored his boss, broke his GoPro, and chuckled in Kenan's face with no apology. So what would happen if you did that to your boss? Kenan sure knows how to keep his cool.
@@wasteddude9387 makes me wonder have you got it in for Matt, who have trolled every comment that he’s mentioned in. Sounds like some sour grapes on your part!!
@@wasteddude9387 you seem more concerned about Kenan’s camera than he was. Seems you might be a bit jealous of Matt being at the kamp. Any comment that mentioned Matt you jumped on it spouting your venom. Surely Kenan can look after things without your help!!
@@janetwhitten3945 Hey I'm just defending Kenan. Aren't you just defending Matt? But I'm calling out the guy who damaged Kenan's stuff. You can't claim the moral high ground by coming at me. What did I break? You're just pulling "envy" and "sour grapes" out of a hat. The only thing I got against Matt, is what he did. Not who he is. Nothing more: Nothing less. Why can't I defend Kenan? You're defending the guy who did the damage. Of course Kenan doesn't "need" my help. Who said Matt "needs" your help? Seriously? This is ridiculous. Come back when you're able to be rational.
Also Kenan the reason they are called alligator snappers is because people use to see their carapace and because the notches on them it almost looks like an alligators back
Without Evolution By Natural Selection nothing would make sense. The way animals have evolved to fit into their environments, via external pressures, is my favorite thing to study. Kenan, I think you’re right. The human animal has divorced itself so much from external pressures, we have lost many of the senses we used to use out of necessity. Great video! She is absolutely gorgeous!!🐢❤️🐢
Remarkable Turtle. The shell is unique as well as the lure in her open mouth for prey. I really am interested in the Alligator Snapping Turtle and other Snapping Turtles.
@Wasted Dude damn that really bothered you huh? Was it stupid? Yea, but what's that have to do with you? Was it your camera? Did you want the job but didn't get it? I'm intrigued now lol
Nice young female! I study these for Ga DNR and USFWS. Would love to know what river or stream the lake is an impoundment of. Good to have distribution records of these guys. I also LOVE my bull snake I got from you guys in 2019 ❤
I live in minnesota and they are not protected because it is thought they can't survive the cold long enough for spring to come and open up the waterways. So I bought two and keep them as a pair, they are very interesting. But some locals have said theres a hidden alligator colony that lives in a gravel pit near a swamp. Even pointed out thealligator snapper over my common which is really interesting.
Your bare feet hanging over the edge…..all my Mom brain said was Danger, Danger! Put your shoes on!!! Very cool turtle. Love having an non expert there asking the questions I would!
Can confrim, common snappers are common here in nova scotia, see em all the time while fishing, had one bite a steel toe boot while walking through a shallow river
I love Matt's perspective and questions as a laymen- sometimes things that seem so obvious to experts are easily overlooked.
I love it too!! Makes him really interested in the animals and wants to learn! Freaking love it!!! So happy for Matt to be able to help Kenan at the Kamp, but also to be around the animals!!!
THIS IS NOT SPARTA!!! This is Kamp Kenan xD hahahahahahaha!
Me too!! I get so curious about pretty seemingly obvious questions too and this helps alot

I appreciate Matt for two reasons. I love that you can really move and explain without having to handle the camera. I also enjoyed his questions.
Matt adds so much depth with questions anyone would ask not being super close with these animals before!
He asks things that I would ask if I were there (OMG WHATADREAM WHATADREAM.....)

She’s enormous and beautiful, will Marge get that big,I wonder you need strength just to move her. The kamp holds some incredible creatures 👍💯🖖
OMG that ending roll!!! LOL. 10/10!!!
Alligator snapping turtles are such an amazing species, I can't wait till I have the opportunity to keep this amazing species.
Love the snapping turtles. Lots of interesting info about them that I didn't know. Good camera work Matt. Lucky you got the camera back.
I am loving these sessions with Matt! You have been giving nice little primers about each animal and Matt's questions/observations are what I am asking.
Nice to see Matt learning on the job 💪
She is beautiful !!!
Thank you for sharing her with me Kenan
AST’s are a national treasure. We are so fortunate to have these amazing beasts plying our southern waterways.
I maybe was the only person who picked the Behemoth Gator Snapper as my favorite Kenan shelter animal during recent survey. I like the common snappers too, especially the new girl that was sunk in the mud in recent video, named little dudette.
@@aarone1981 Good stuff!
Wish the alligator snapper could live with Dale and snaggle ... maybe we could see him more.
I laughed when she went back into the pond! That was pretty funny imo!
Kenan THATS my favorite of the snapping turtles 🐢
i like matts questions. thanks for showing her

Keep up your wonderful work! 🇦🇺
I was always told they call them gator snappers because they are often found near gators. Scavenging for scraps ect. Also because of the osteoderms.
Now you know the truth!
i thought they got that name because when they lay in the water their shell kinda looks like the back of a gator
@@theflyingdutchguy9870 Yeah, I was thinking that it was their gnarly appearance that gave them their name.
@@theflyingdutchguy9870 yeah the osteoderms do resemble them kind of. My gramp grew up in the everglades and he always told me it was because they hang near gators. Kind of makes sense too because about 75% of the time when I saw gators, alligator snappers were close by

Fantastic !!! I have wanted to see one of these giants since we met them last year. What Bite Force ! THANK you BOTH so much !

You should do a "Swimming With" with both gator snappers together.
Can we see the baby rhinos Kenan would love an update!
GREAT VIDEO!
Kenan, you forgot to give the turtle man call: Yououlolo Live Action! when you brought that turtle out of the water.
They are so prehistoric, it’s like looking at a dinosaur

🤣 I was waiting for it. Like surely he knows these guy's are VERY SPICEY when threatened right..?? Nope, he doesn't.

do they eat other turtle? in the pond just wondering thanks
Should have called Turtle Man. Uiliee yii yi yi yi yi lol
How much does big snapper turtle weigh...
The scoots on its shell are like an alligator and her jaws.
How much does that big snapping turtle weigh...
Do you still swim in that pond
They're all over down here in Texas
