We’ve spent the past week exploring the beautiful country of South Africa and while the history, food, landscapes have been captivating, I’m definitely craving another dose of extreme adventure. Turns out there’s a place just a short drive away where you can cage dive with Africa’s apex predators: the nile crocodile. So Colt and I are leaving the girls above-surface for a bit while we submerge ourselves in a bucket-list experience that we hope to return from. Let’s get to it.

Wow can’t believe the boys were just 6 inches away from crocodiles!!!! 😱😱😱😱
And it’s amazing they both still have all their fingers!
Colt and Phil had the most fun! Boys will be boys! Scary! But super cool! HAPPY HOLIDAYS ABC & MOMDUTY!!!
Happy holidays! 🎄 They are so adventurous!
@@AlwaysBeChanging Thanks! Yes they are!
Cool! Enjoyed the video GREATLY! Hope you had fun with the 🐊
So happy you liked it! 🤗
Wow! So cool! Love that old clip of Colt getting close to that mama crocodile. My goodness, he’s always been into reptiles 🐊
He gave me a heart attack that day! 😮💨
Wow that must have been scary, but glad you guys had a good time
So scary! 😱 🐊
@@AlwaysBeChanging I bet it was a good experience
Phil and Colt are a lot braver than I could ever be! Being that close to a Croc is a NOPE for me! 😂
Does look like it was a great experience though. ❤
They are so brave! It was a nope for me too, mostly because of how dirty the water was. They were totally safe behind that cage :)
What a fantastic experience to share with Colt!
Yes it was! 🤗
Wait! Crocodile oil?🤯 Whole chickens? Snakes? Wolf spiders?What?! Colt must have been in heaven!!!😆
Reptile heaven. He ❤️d it! 🤗
My rural farmland in South Africa KwaZulu Natal is infested with wild spitting cobras and black mambas, once in a while you run into pythons as well. So this is the only reason I don't like snakes because they only represent problems where I come from
That makes sense. They are so dangerous. Phil and I don’t like them either. We love that Colt has found away to appreciate them, even the scary ones.
@@AlwaysBeChanging very brave young man and we are enjoying his getting to enjoy his passion safely
Somewhere on a parallel world in a faraway galaxy...
Father: How's about some quality time with me bud?
Son: Uh, sure dad.
Father: Get into the water with that apex killer and cover yourself in their pee and poop.
Son: Uh, sure dad.
Father: That was refreshing... wanna go play Twister with some pythons and cobras, while mom and I take photos?
Son: Uh, sure dad.
Haha 🤣😂🤣😂 that’s exactly how it went down.
Your son is brave😮
He really is. We love his passion. Sometimes it's hard to hold him back when we wants to get close but these are dangerous animals!
husband speaking 4 am in Cebu. Wow now that was some footage of the crocks eating the chickens.
Definitely would not want to fall in. The Black Mamba - none of you are old enough to remember the Frank
Buck radio series Bring Them Back Alive ( i hope I got that right ) He would bring animals back from Africa for
our zoos. In San Diego Park Zoo, the greeter was King Tut, a Cockatoo that Mr. Buck brought back. I was able to
see him a couple of times before he passed away, over 100. Back to the Mamba - Mr. Buck was actually spit on one
time by a Mamba. ( could be true - no Fact Check back then ) Colt, tell us how FAST the Crocks can come out of the water.
You are an early riser. So are we :) Sounds like Colt would have loved Bring Them Back Alive. Colt is out playing with friends right now, I'll ask him about the crocs when he comes home.
I agree with you I don't like snakes lol
Phil HATES them. But colt LOVES them :)
Raw chicken in filthy green water. Hope you guys got your shots!! :( Serious tho that would freak me out!
It would be freaky but they never submerged their heads. The water was filthy! The shower at the end was mandatory LOL
🙏
Thanks for watching :)
I feel sorry for the chickens thou 😅
So do we!
Crocs are from the age of the dinosaurs. Perfect design by nature
Fascinating creatures and so so dangerous 😱
