One of my past students, a 7.5 foot Cuban Crocodile (Chiquita) galloping on command. She was owned by a different facility, and I occasionally help other facilities, to train their animals, as well as their staff, to provide better husbandry and better lives for their animals. Chiquita was one of those many animals we had the pleasure of training & working with at another facility.
Check out the Skype interview Chiquita and I did on the show Right This Minute:

I’d thought I’d never see a prehistoric apex predator look so adorable.
Drewski 1996 I commented to give you your first comment
Such a cute crocodile
Because females are more cuter then males, males are mean lookin because of all the battles they go through to keep thier homes, even in older ones, the females still look pretty.
The reason Jurassic park will start is exactly that lol
Theres an ancient croc that ran on hoof back then.
No, there has to be a misunderstanding
This is a Floridian Swamp Cat

What's really off-putting about this video is how completely natural it looks.
These big lizards had an offshoot of easily galloping reptile-like creatures: the dinosaurs.
Also while uncommon due to energy-intensity, this really is entirely normal behaviour for crocodiles.
At least during the summer, in winter they struggle to move at all.
@@NIRDIAN1 Not really correct, but you're close!
Dinosaurs and crocodiles share a common ancestor and are both part of the Archosaur-clade together with pterosaurs. (the flying reptiles)
In contrary to what most people think dinosaurs aren't descendants or an offshoot of crocodiles, they're only relatives. If you go back to the time of non-avian dinosaurs you'll not only find crocodiles like we know them today, but also a whole bunch of weird terrestrial crocodylimorph species (carnivorous, but some also herbivorous) that were warm blooded and could indeed gallop. They went extinct together with non-avian dinosaurs except for the Sebecid mesoeucrocodylians (what a name...) that survived in South America all the way up into the Miocene. You should definitely look them up on google images, particularly Barinasuchus, which looks like it should've stayed in the dinosaur era, but in reality didn't.
Modern crocodiles are a different lineage altogether that descended from these terrestrial forms and adapted into a semiaquatic environment. Ironically, because of this, they lost their warmbloodedness and became cold blooded again: you can't lie in wait underwater while going without food for months if you're warm blooded.
They still have a heart that resembles that of a warmblooded, active animal, but it doesn't give them the stamina anymore like you have in active animals.
Galloping like in this vid is for short distances only. No chasing after prey across the open plains and forests like in the days of yore, sadly... And it's only for smaller species like these Cubans or the Australian fresh water crocodiles.
Crocodiles and alligators look slow and cumbersome but they are actually really fucking fast when they want to be.
@@thesecondprimarch7694 i didn't know they were this fast until i seen this video
I've spend my entire life thinking I could probably out-manoeuvre and outrun a crocodile if one ever tried to eat me.
You have taken this away from me.
I am no longer safe.
Reality has been revealed, and it is cruel.
I'm going back to bed.
Are you big foot?
They seem quite easy to bash over the head or to kick in the head so there's that
ah if you can get close enough you can keep their mouth close with just one hand. The muscles that open tha jaw are hella weak, i have seen a crab do it. But yeah, if the mouth is open and running toward you not even climbing a tree can help you.
@@Apostate_ofmind You sure sound like quite a zoologist
Crocodiles have short stubby legs. So you cannot outrun them if you run in a straight line, however their short legs make it difficult for them to manoeuvre around turns. So if you ran in a zig-zag path, you'd confuse it and would be able to escape
This is something I could never even think to imagine. Scary and adorable.
The Critically Endangered Cuban Crocodile is the most terrestrial of all extant crocodilians, having remarkably well developed limbs when compared to the other species of the same order. Unlike other Crocodilians, Cuban Crocs are known to pursue prey well beyond the water’s edge, chasing unlucky animals at considerable speed and for some distance across land. While _Crocodylus rhombifer_ rarely exceeds 3 Meters, its special adaptation for leaping and running makes it particularly dangerous to manage in captivity.
J̅o̅h̅n̅n̅y̅ F̅a̅v̅o̅r̅i̅t̅e̅ Well said, but It’s very important to add that In captivity however, they only remain more dangerous at facilities that undervalue or ignore their intelligence and do nothing in the realm of training with their rhombifers. After training and bridging the communication gap between animal/group and keeper, that danger element can nearly vanish in most cases. It literally becomes a working relationship that can be as safe if not safer than other workplace environments.
That's a government propaganda, we all know they're Water doggos.
They're the only series of croc that can jump and lift their entire body off the ground
@Andrew Crowley YEAH same reaction lol this thought is freaking terrifying

If we’re going to be asinine and pick hairs then your comment is the only idiotic comment since Crocodilians don’t have lips, however they Do have a permanent smile due to the way their jaw and muscles contour the rest of the skull. Aside from that, you should really spend your time on developing a sense of humor rather than trolling other people’s fun commenting choices. In other words, you’re wrong and also the only idiot commenting in this thread, so far 🤣
@Le floppa Don’t sweat it, you’re not wrong and I for one, enjoyed your comment. Crocs have what we in the industry call PermaGrin lol since they permanently look like they’re smiling since Crocodilians can’t make facial expressions with anything other than their eyes. Cheers
The number of times I've watched this video is insane!! The croc looks so so adorable galloping like that. It also has such a happy expression on its face like it's so happy to meet its owner 😄
Cuban Crocs are actually really cool! They’re the only crocodilians to move in a gallop and can actually go pretty fast! Also they’re terrestrial and rarely go in water unlike their cousins
Ah, so that's why this one was unusually fast
no they're not, many others can gallop
Thank you I learned something new today
Also Crazy enough, I found fascinating footage of a Cuban crocodile performing a partial rotary gallop, tho the footage is lower quality and quite short it’s quite cool to see. The Cuban crocodile starts galloping at 10:50 in the video and ends galloping at 10:55 in the vid and it’s best to see in slow motion at 0.25 speed, here’s the video. m.ruclips.net/video/tI4IzkB2gRI/видео.html
So it’s like a modern day kaprosuchus then
Aw, she looks so happy after the first gallop.

@Blood Beryl lol ok, you win.
That speed is horrifying!
Imagine this dog runs at y'all
@Rike no you cant, they can go up to 30 mph on land
@Rike actually they can only do that speed for a short burst so you can outrun them
Top speed on land is only about 10 to 12mph at best, for crocodilians. Even if we’re mixing up kilometers per hour with miles per hour (which is what most TV shows have done for decades) it still wouldn’t be 30kph, but closer to 18 or 20kph, but not 20 mph until we’re talking about their swimming speed.
I found it not so fast at least for a fit human

It's already impressive enough as it is to tame a croc and earn it's affection. But then being able to train him/her on command to come to you on que is on another entire level. This clip (short as it is) was very satisfying to see.
Apparently these things are smart and never stop growing. I've seen people use hand signals to command alligators in a farm. They keep them all full and that makes them not feel like killing you I guess...
That is amazing. I have never seen a croc move like that on land. Most crocs are rather ungainly and clumsy outside of the water. This thing moves like a terrestrial animal, not an aquatic one. It's so sad we have almost completely wiped them out. Cuban crocodiles are so unique and interesting. They say they also display pack behavior and are perhaps the most intelligent of all crocodiles.
I've actually seen the teamwork firsthand! Many years ago at a park I used to work at, I'll never forget, in a group of 5 animals, the male kept the preys attention while the alpha female and the subordinate females hid and surrounded the prey (making a gauntlet, cutting off any exits so the prey had to go between any two crocs to escape) moments later they all rushed in, 3 in full gallop. I WAS THE PREY, and cleaning their pool. My only exit was an 8 foot rock wall waterfall that apparently I can climb like Spiderman! The really scary but exciting thing was, after that day there was always one croc that would climb the rocks and hide in the waterfall pool on cleaning day every time. Talk about a learning curve and learning from their mistakes hahaha
You're lucky you HAD an escape route. lol
holy crap, dude. what a story! I meam that is absolutely amazing. Forget those (inaccurate anyway) freaking velociraptors in Jurassic Park... Cuban crocodiles are the 'clever girl'
Crocodilians are generally more like dinosaurs than any other kind of lizard, and were at one point actually built for terrestrial life. It would be reasonable that galloping or mammal-like behavior such as this could be exhibited in at least one modern representative.
crocodiles are reptiles.
This must make the mailman regretful for complaining about that Terrier. I imagine as he approaches Chiquita' s yard he gets nostalgic about the German Shepherd that nipped at his bottom that one time. He hopes the cat that would scratch at his hand through the mail slot is doing well.That old route was the best. Yep, those were the salad days.

@Appelboom 😂 I wouldn’t laugh too hard since You couldn’t be more wrong. Maybe a better way to say it is that you’re naïvely confident in your outdated and misinformed beliefs. Also, brain size has very little to do with intelligence, and they live by instinct to the same extent as all other animals including humans, but they also learn, observe, and teach among other things. Unfortunately you’re perception and misinformed opinion of these animals reflects the majority of what humans have believed for centuries, but it’s incorrect nonetheless and eventually, one day, will be common knowledge throughout the mainstream generally public.They are intelligent... Fact.
I keep coming back and it keeps cheering me up
That’s awesome! Kinda cheers me up to know that it’s cheering up others. Cheers
I love how Chiquita looks like she's smiling while she's galloping!
Yeah because dinner is literally calling her over!

No that's an alligator this is a crocodile

@@jgrAnimations23 Florida does have crocodiles tho, I believe it's the one place you find crocs & gators living together.
In Florida we have alli-cats that’s a croc-dog
Omg she’s so freaking cute 😍💚🐊💚🐊

Me: Holy crap that was fast.
My Dog: YOOO WTF IS THAT THING
😂😂😂
Holy Beautiful
Fun fact, crocs are extremely fast despite how slow they seem. Another fun fact is that they are even faster in the water and considered one of the faster creatures to roam this earth

fun fact: there was some extinct crocodilians that can gallop
Well clearly they're not extinct 🤣🤣
@@xxdemisucksxx
I think he's implying they actually run faster than her. They can gallop like horses directly onto the target.
Dear God, no.
jayjay86443 correct. Kaprosuchus and Araripesuchus were some of the prehistoric crocs that could gallop. Most crocodilians at that time where dinosaur killers and came in all shapes and sizes.
There were multiple terrestrial crocodilians throughout history
@@redhood2394 Was postosuchus one or could it just start bipedaling
Floridians be like “there’s my dog!”
*edit* thanks for the likes!
People from other states: **Confused Screaming**
As a Floridian I can confirm
Lol I just got back from Florida and there was a 7 foot alligator in the backyard pond. We saw a 10 ft one on a Air boat ride
The spino from jurassic Park 3 is m'y Friend so dont worry she/he just waiting to Come back in the next film
i'm sick of trying
For the sake of the JP3 fans, I hope he/she does.
The thing that gets me the most is that it looks slightly happy...
They always do...😈

Can confirm but mostly in Northern Territory
"Dog"
@Michael Benedict no one mentioned Florida
@Michael Benedict yeah you should of never mentioned your shit state
@kevin Yak Whoa, hold on! Shit state? Care to back that up? Why is my state a shit state? And go!
Fun fact: Chiquita is the femenine for "Little one" in spanish.
Thanks so she was probably the smallest in the batch of eggs
Possibly the smallest of the batch, or just a humorous nickname, like when they call the very large guy "Tiny."
Unfortunately her name has far less creative origins. “Chiquita Bananas 🍌”… that’s it. Bananas are yellow, the name is Spanish, end creativity there 😂
Nothing feminine there stop getting feminishit into everything
@@COOLKINGSTYLE Feminine and feminist are two different things. Spanish only caters to two sexes: male and female.

Any animal that allows you pet it is cute by default. Change my mind.
The name Chiquita was the awwwww moment for me
Made me smile
Never thought crocs were this fast, now iam scared for life.

What if I told you this isnt even close to their top speed.

Croc gallop
It's important to note that, while crocodilians are fast and powerful, they build up lactic acid WAY faster than humans. While a crocodile or alligator could move this fast, they'd only be able to do so for a few moments at best before completely exhausting themselves.
On the other hand, they're ambush predators, soooooooo...
This is absolutely incredible.
Knowing you still comment here, would like to ask a question.
How long does it generally, in training, take for a croc to correctly respond to an order once it has been understood?
Always happy to answer questions. And to answer yours; It varies depending mostly on the individual animal and their specific personality. Just like people, they’re all different and learn at different paces, some are smarter than others too. Ultimately the learning curve is surprisingly sharp and I’ve had results, with starting basic commands and behaviors, ranging from under a minute to up to an hour.
