The fact he called him and he came , and then just hung out with him is crazy
I also cant believe this its like a 10% of croc would do this except from some thai croc activity...
Duh, Big Lizard loves his person
American crocs are pretty docile
after thousands of years of domesticating predators, people are amazed that it also worked on a croc? Ever really think about dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, frogs, etc etc which have been done forever?
He came out to get the food lol.
Cats will meow, dogs wag their tail.
A crocodile looks the same whether it likes you or is planning to move on you.
+Shawn Newcomer Imo, if you can understand women, you can understand crocodiles as well. Just one man's opinion. I mean no disrespect.
@@666mandrake You mean no disrespect but disrespect, anyway.
That applies to most reptiles outside of a few body gestures like trying to look larger, but it makes them interesting and enigmatic. They are a bit harder to figure out but make for much more rewarding creatures to get close to when it becomes crystal clear.

Elliot: “ :) “

He’s so proud of himself being talked about hehe like yeah that’s me!
That croc takes food more gently than my labrador!
Yeah. My old doggy would have been all up in that bucket.
you know you've made it in life when you earned the respect of a crocodile.
Honestly
Ha! 4 real
That crock was just sizing him up. If he didn't have that bucket of snacks with him this video would have been a LOT shorter.
Haha epic comment,
My thoughts exactly
@@The1rockerman 🤡🤡
He's so gentle when he bites... He doesn't snap at the meat when you feed him, he just kinda reaches for it and grabs it.
True
So true I love them crocks
They can be very delicate when they want to be. Those jaws are very sensitive. Females are especially sensitive because they carry their young in their jaws after they hatch.
It's hard to tell if the croc just knows humans feed him so don't attack or if he really likes them.
@@luckylarry3090 if that croc was hungry enough hed eat the guy so
the fact that he's so gentle when he takes food. just wow.
Have you ever made Jesus your Lord and savior? Jesus offers you His salvation as a gift He will wash you completely Clean from ALL your sins and wants you to Come to him it says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Meaning the punishment for our sins is Hell Because we are not obedient to God. But Jesus was completely obedient to God He went to the cross to die for us and now we do not trust in our obedient but His it says, Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.
But it’s your part to receive Jesus to believe upon Him. It says,
“Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”

@@waterdrop154 no...I'm pagan and a witch. I respect your choice in beliefs but, please keep them to yourself. I was commenting on how gentle the animal was; I said nothing about religion.
They're aquatic ambush hunters so they're typically not going to attack you if they're out of the water. At Brazos state park they have alligators that often sun themselves on the trails. You just have to walk around them but the signs warn you about going into or around the water.
he knows that he doesn’t need to be anything more than gentle, it is really impressive
@@waterdrop154 Jesus? The Guy who got nailed on a Cross? Of course i wouldnt make him, i am not gay, like the romans were
Beautiful planet, lets protect it as much as possible while we're alive❤
Reminds me of the story of Saturn the alligator, he lived in a zoo in Berlin, but was lost during the bombings in WW2. Sometime after the war, soldiers miraculously found him alive and sent him to a zoo in Moscow, where he lived a peaceful life for decades. However, during the fall of the Soviet Union, tanks rolled in the streets to keep order, and zookeepers reported the noise greatly distressed Saturn, because even decades later, he still found the sound of tanks stressful due to his memories of WW2! And he lived to be over 90 years old, which just goes to show how incredible crocodilians are.
didnt saturn just die recently in like 2018 or something animals can be amazing and have huge capacity for empathy
Im crying and i dont know why.
I love this story.
i just checked he actually died last yar in 2020 on the 22nd of may but still what i said stands they can be amazing animals watch this if you want to know some more about saturn /watch?v=Wzg631YniOw
Such an unfortunate experience for the gator
That croc's PTSD is far greater than any war veterans
The saying is that you’re never to old to learn. Well I’m 63 and I never thought I’d see a crocodile develop a bond with a human.Glad I lived long enough to see this wonderful video.
A while ago, I remember reading a story about a man who rescued a crocodile who'd been shot in the head, and the two developed a bond. It really seemed like the crocodile actually liked the guy, despite all you hear about reptiles being fundamentally unable to feel love, though the man himself was unsure whether all crocodiles were actually like that, or whether that one was potentially special due to brain damage.
The crocodile died since then, unfortunately, but sometimes I wonder how much of what we know about animals is fact, and how much is just theory. I mean, a century ago, people thought dogs had no feelings. There's plenty in science that presented as facts when really, the truth is that nobody knows for sure.
@@Furymgs3 Are u talking about the Pocho and Chito story cause that sounds pretty similar
@@ColdSalt99 Possibly yeah. Read it a long time ago, I might have gotten a few details wrong.
@@Furymgs3 I’ve seen a video on it and he actually got in the water with it

It’s amazing how quiet and still he is. Australian saltwater crocs are so much more aggressive and temperamental.
When anything and everything wants to kill you, everybody's a threat
so are the people that live there coincidence? I THINK NOT!!!
Well… can’t argue with that username
To be fair, Australia is literally God's playground of Creation Gone Wild.
And tasty!
It's so incredible how you can just walk up and touch him. It really goes to show that if you respect an animal, they'll respect you.
i respect you so can you kiss me

Yea not always, ik a guy that got killed by a crocodile that he was rasing from the croc was a kid and he made sure the croc was well-fed in a nice home etc and one night the croc came in and killed him so we just killed the croc later and sold the skin etc

Look how gentle Elliot is taking the food from Chris. The level of trust and respect from both is mind boggling.
Heart swelling...nothing makes me happier to see an animal and a human establish trust and respect between one another 💗
I agree 💞 crocodiles are my fav animals
He literally has videos where he says they’d eat him if they found him asleep, etc.
It would eat him immediately if he were unconscious next to it, you know that right?
Well humans are animals...animal kingdom anyone? Lol. What do you think we are then? Human is just the name if our particular species well homo sapiens or whatever. But still point remains I still get annoyed when I see people say humans and animals. That's no different then saying cats and animals......dogs and animals.....horses and animals. Or saying a human is acting like an animal. Lol

Didn't know they had such good memory
Same
Crocs are incredible. They have a magnificent memory. They can learn habits they stalk and watch their prey so if you go down to the River every day at a certain time you can be guaranteed that the croc will be waiting for you to snatch you into the water.
@@Jj1984. fax
@@fearfulclan2007 farx
Like them crocs or alligators that put sticks on their heads just so they can catch birds
Not only does this show what an amazing memory they have, but responding to their name shows they comprehend language. That’s HUGE. I never would have guessed that crocs could understand spoken language.
The can associate specific sounds with expected behaviours. It's not actual language comprehension.
That isn't to say they aren't smart, but a dog doesn't come to you because it knows the context of the words being used. If this was the case, you could train dogs to do quite literally anything. You can't train a dog to pilot a space ship, but you can train a dog to pull a number of levers and press certain buttons to pilot a space ship.
@@tipi5586 agree with you.
Sometimes people compare the brain of some animal to a human baby brain (4 years old), and the associate thing is a form of intelligence but they dont know words or names. But i love crocodiles and alligators, and im envy about the bond this man created with them
They dont understand spoken language and neither do dogs. They just know that specific sounds means "me"
It may not even be that they see it as their name but that the sound means youre adressing them
@Si Dunue Gorillas?
Lol! They're such kind, loving and gentle creatures... as long as you've got a bucket of chicken to feed them! If not, YOU or your dog become the meal!
Just a natural thing....everyone has to eat!
Yeah not really. If they aren’t fed by you or other people, they’re actually pretty chill. At most they will get away from you. You just can’t provoke them.
Right, then there's the crocodile
@@SushiBurritoPapi Just ask Florida Man...not exactly crocs, but probably even more docile
Just like a women lol
Elliott genuinely seemed to be looking at him as if to say, "You came back!"
Crocodiles have amazing memories. In the Northern Territory (Australia) I met an aboriginal elder who raised a salty, didn’t see him for 27 years but called him and he came. Saltwater Crocodiles are often found in freshwater as often as salt
Yeah I bet they never forget.
Something about intelligence that a lot of people don't realize is that even if a creature lacks higher reasoning ability due to brain structure, the structures and abilities that they do have are often superb.
Think for example of how perceptive birds' vision and sense of direction are compared to a human's. Birds often all look the same to a human but they can tell each other apart, and can intuitively sense their location. In some ways people are very stupid compared to some animals but other ways are of course not.
If they can live in fresh or salt water, does it mostly depend on where they were born and feel comfortable?
@@returntonature8773 no, they can survive and thrive in either, it’s probably why they haven’t needed to evolve in thousands of years.
@@returntonature8773 Saltwater crocs generally travel up into freshwater to breed, but will move downriver at other times. They can't process saltwater when they're young, that's something they develop as they mature, so you'll find the smaller crocs stay in freshwater billabongs & creeks, while the big ones will be more common closer to the sea. That's why they're also called estuarine crocodiles, because they primarily live in the estuarine portion of the rivers as adults. You'll sometimes see them leave the rivers & enter the ocean itself, but not that often because they can't really hunt in the ocean. Of course, like OP says you can still find very big crocs in pure freshwater, it's just not as common.
@@returntonature8773 ...I don't think anyone's actually done any studies on that, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was a factor
Edit: Lachlan Bell provided some info on the subject, and it looks like I was wrong! Oh well! :P
He's so gentle, I wasn't expecting him to be so gentle.
they're like zen masters. So chilled out lol

I have never seen a crocodile calmly and carefully take food from someone’s hand, incredible
That's because all the others that didn't get the same treatment died.
they may be indiscriminate most of the time but they aren't stupid. Given enough time they know that the humans coming to your home are not food, but will bring food if you behave nicely.
He threw it in his mouth...never try and hand feed a crocodile...might well fancy extra...you.
@@Testedecazzo Well hard to hand feed them, their jaws are naturally built to snap shut and lack the fine finesse to just gently bite down so it's kind of dangerous to try and stick your fingers anywhere near their mouths. But the fact he didn't lunge is fairly good sign, plus he's casually chilling there and happily accepting the offerings without being overly aggressive with the feeding.
Now when he feeds the other one you can see he's not nearly as chill and more aggressive but he still recognizes that he is a provider of food but not THE food.
@@skrubknight884 yeah, I remember Aggro (or whatever Steve was actually saying) ended up being very comfortable around Steve Irwin.
I love how calm and trusting Eliot is. He is obviously perfectly comfortable around Chris and extremely well trained. It does a great job of showing that these animals aren’t mindless meat eaters.
G'day from OZ, I am freaked out at the sight of someone being that close to a crocodile. They definitely have a different temperament compared to a Saltwater crock.

I raised reptiles for quite a few years... Lizards like Iguanas, Bearded Dragons, Uromastyx, etc.
One of the things people were always so surprised at is how intelligent they are.
No, they aren't a cat or a dog, but reptiles are a helluva lot brighter/smarter than people think they are, and do respond to people they see and interact with on a regular basis.
And they most certainly LEARN and remember. lol
I used to tell people that my water dragon was a doggo trapped in a reptiles body, lol
THIS is the comment i want to see under every video of animals.
I love so much crocodiles and reptiles, someday i want to adopt a Tegu, but they arent like dogs. Both ingelligent but in a different way, and i love how the mammal evolved their brain for being with us, and i love how reptiles can recognize some sounds as well, they have a perfect style of hunting, and they can associate you with a part of their "family", they like you, not like could do a dog, but they know.
if you think you can somewhat tame a Croc you must be dumb. It's a wild animal with wild instincts honed over thousands of years that can't be trusted. These are the kind of clowns that end up being killed by the wild animals they keep.
@@hasan1980hb - who said anything about taming?
Animals can get very used to having people around them.
And if those people have paid attention and learned the animal's behavior... as well as what to do or not do... all is well.
It's the ones who screw up and try to treat a wild animal like their favorite puppy that get killed.
I have a pet Ball Python, and I've learned one big lesson: primitive doesn't equate to stupid. He's very smart, one of the best pets I've ever had.
They have a saying in North Queensland, don’t fish in the same spot 3 times.
One will be there waiting for you.
That’s intelligence.
Yes here in Australia the salties are massive to
well that’s if the snakes don’t get to you first
True. Also, don’t go diving straight into a stagnant and calm waters or having a quick drink, There’s 90% chance that something’s living in there.
Is there anything in Oz that isn't trying to kill you other than huntsman spiders? The damn platypus even has a venomous spike on its elbow for crying out loud.
Yep. Lived there and the Northern Territory too. Pretty much any decent sized body of water there has something from Jurassic park living in it…
3:07 when he starts talking about Eliot 😂

Or the guy with the emotional support alligator
It's that alligator memory at work , they can remember paths stretching 100's of miles and have memory's over their entire lifetimes from the egg to old age, Such a fascinating animal.
Crocodile...
He remembers you for sure. Very intelligent.
No crocodilian is a "gentle giant" per se, but American Crocodiles are my favorite because they are relatively docile (for crocodilians) and have so much personality. Also, I love the uneven scattered look of their osteoderms. To me they look even more prehistoric because of them.
the osteodermes are not scattered, the middle rows are small while the net outter row have big scutes, just ike the tail, also that hump on the upper snout is awesome, morelets and cuban have a slight hump but the american croc has a very pronounced hump and they get huge unlike the other 2 species
I love how he took the food so gently. I dont really know alligator behavior much, but it seems like he really does trust and respect you two.
American Crocodile* not an alligator

His memory of you and the intelligent gentleness and calmness he showed surprised me until I remembered that they are literally the dinosaurs that survived and thrived when the rest went extinct. They were bound to evolve some level of intelligence during all that time I would think.
Crocs and Gators have zero relationship with Dinosaurs. Not all reptiles are related to Dinosaurs. Crocs existed alongside the Dinosaurs, and they’re virtually unchanged in appearance. Only change is they got much, much smaller compared to their ancient ancestors. Crocs used to feed on Dinosaurs that strayed too close to the waters edge in Croc territory.

its more likely he adapted to his new lifestyle, reptiles perceive emotions in a different way since they arent self aware, and view humans that had left a positive impression on them as non threats instead of friends, moreso if the human in question feeds them on a constant basis,. so a non threat that also provides food gaves him no reason to attack.

Meaning the punishment for our sins is Hell Because we are not obedient to God. But Jesus was completely obedient to God He went to the cross to die for us and now we do not trust in our obedient but His it says, Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.
But it’s your part to receive Jesus to believe upon Him. It says,
“Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”
Don’t think it’s not wrong to sin
-because He loves us.

Crocodile*
@@waterdrop154 Did you really just wake up one day and decide "im going to try to convert people to Christianity in all the major comment chains of crocodile videos today". You guys have got to be bots or something. I dont get it. You are everywhere.
What a majestic creature... 🙂💚
What a great relationship you have with Elliot!
He is just as cute as Rex (Snake Discovery's rescue alligator, yes am aware two different species.) Not to mention he is far more polite compared to Rex; Rex does have her polite moments though.
Rex has a lot of spunk, Elliot seems more chill. I wonder if it's because he's bigger, he might feel a little more comfortable because he could resist being moved/held down a lot more. But Rex definitely seems to have that playful young energy, even though she's like, what, 30 something now?
Very true
@@dragonwithamonocle Rex's first couple of decades (plus) were so incredibly awful, I think she's living her best life now, all that pent up energy is coming out because she can! She is transformed from the pitiful wee thing she was when Emily and Ed took her in.
I love Snake Discovery! I thought Rex was an American Alligator though.
Elliot really appears to be a
a happy crocodile. I had no
idea there could be such a thing.
Of course, there was that guy
in Costa Rica who rescued a
sixteen foot Croc and ended up
being his friend for about twenty
years. You never know.
If that is Pocho - that croc had been rescued after being shot in the head, and his human friend even admitted he doesn't know if it's natural or the result of brain damage.
@@charleenlangley8709 Probably the brain damage. It was an interesting friendship though, the owner was never attacked back and he even got a full fledged funeral for him done. The crocodile had moments of stress, but the owner was able to calm it down.
Pocho! What a great story
That man is awesome the thing's he can do with Gators are incredible!
Heaven on earth. Love it. So so beatiful to see. 😀❤🐊👵
I like how he's just smiling away and vibing while you talk. At least I'm not crazy finding these big ravenous creatures cute. Even the biggest and meanest animals have a soft side.

This proves that even nature or even the most aggressive predators can be friendly towards the people who respect it!
Yeah, like in biblical times.
These aren't wild crocs. They have been regularly worked with and live in enclosed environments. If you get that close to a croc in the wild, if the croc hasn't eaten, or simply sees you as a threat, it will grab and deathroll you to pieces.
@@charleenlangley8709 Yeah and due to their natural tendencies in the wild (sitting still and being stealthy to wait for prey to come to them) it's all too easy to get too close without realizing it. They're not like sharks for example, that will usually just move away if you begin approaching them.
@@charleenlangley8709 As long as anyone aren't stupid enough to hangs around crocs waters or territories, they leave you alone. Best also not to mock them at any way.
@@danskyl7279 That depends, actually - alligators and crocs who get too large to efficiently hunt their usual prey will seek out humans to attack and eat. These idiots might not know how deep that water is, or if a larger maneater is in the area.
chris loves this will try to watch you more tks again
So adorable. That animal obviously appreciates you and what you've done for her in the past.

@@waterdrop154 "And yea, I say unto thee. Go henceforth from here and spam in my name. I'm particularly fond of crocodile videos"
Crocs in the wild actually remember the yearly migration of herd animals. During these mass migrations, they go to the same spots in rivers to ambush prey. Pretty nifty!

I went there once....never again....
That is, without a doubt, the most incredible thing I've ever seen in my life. That croc obviously trusted the dude, and even respected him. I genuinely didn't realise that that was possible.
That takes guts man. You just don’t know what crocodiles are gonna do. Incredible.

I didn't realize how smart these crocodiles are. Thank you for the videos.
He obviously remembered, he's smiling.
He's an absolutely gorgeous crocodile and completely misunderstood the way he's been gentle and allowing you to stroke him under his chin.....that's pure trust right there. It does go to show that crocodiles and humans can coexist with one another.
No. They cannot. Crocs have their place, we have ours. They don’t belong confined to a pool. This is the natural order of things
@@jadeddragon4254 this dude really thinks that’s pure trust lmao
@@jadeddragon4254 No crocodile is confined to a pool in this video, orangutan. Humans can coexist with virtually every single animal, its something beautiful about us. It is just quite rare for some. Silverbacks, Grizzlies, Crocs, Snap Turtles, all have found friendship in humans.
If he fell and was half conscious the crocodile would eat him. He would open his mouth and slide his body inside of his belly
Go watch literally any of their other vids about crocodiles. They repeatedly say they are not capable of love as we know it and should never EVER be approached by humans.
this is just so beautiful
i like how even though the croc is friendly the guy has his eyes locked in the reptile , great professional !
Is no one gonna talk about how the croc looks like he’s smiling when he was him
No, because crocs don't have lips.
@@MrSlanderer yeah they keep tehre mouth wet in water
They all look like they are smiling.
Since crocodilians cant sweat they open their mouths to went heat.
It’s just the skull shape, they don’t have lips so they wouldn’t be able to form facial expressions. But I’m sure it would smile if it could.
Huh. I'd have never thought a crocodile could have the capacity to actually remember someone, especially over a period of 2 years. Animals always are more amazing than you give them credit for, and I give them lots of credit already.
Yeah, even my cat barely recognise me after 2 years and some substantial weight gain.
@@SLACkra U are correcto
Crocodillians are way more intelligent than people give them credit for
The trust he has in that creature is horrifyingly adorable
I love alligators and crocodiles
Look at that guys arms! His veins are bulging like crazy, and he's just relaxed! I wonder how big they'd be if he was experiencing an adrenaline rush.
Him emerging from the water looked so epic.
Notice how that croc didn’t even snatch the food from this guys hand… amazing… to sit that close and no fear… I’m sure there is a healthy respect.. bit no fear….
at Si como No? amazing..love that place..great views..good food..and all the wildest life
I love how he remembers his best friend right away
My God, Elliot is huge.
So cute I love crocodiles and alligators
They are so beautiful💞
WHAT A BEAUTY in honor of Steve Irwin 😍
He is so cute. I love him, and his spirit. Such a gentle giant💚
He's beautiful!
Such a sweet boy.
There's something uniquely special about having a relationship with a dangerous creature. There's an element of mutual respect that you just don't have with a hamster or guinea pig.
It would be beautiful owning one from egg incubation Imagine having a 1600 pound “lizard” wanting to give you some cuddles at 5:21 in the morning 😅🙏 hearing what sounds like a valve opening and shutting is the lizard “purring” ❤️
@@Thatmellofello Massive flex
ive never seen a croc be gentle with food the croc must really know and trust you
This man is becoming my new hero.
He’s good looking!.!.
3:06 I can't lol it's like these two are having a conversation and Elliott is listening to everything that he is saying and waiting patiently and politely for his turn to talk ❤❤❤
So so adorable 👏🏻
What a gentle giant. This is seriously beautiful to see. I Truly love animals & this is an amazing relationship!
Heroes... Thank you.
He is best student too listen very carefully. And did not bother.
Animals have feelings and good memory for people they know.
Such a cute little fella.
