Living here in NT Australia i can assure you crocs could not survive the cooler waters & climate of the uk! Crocs that you’d find in a zoo anywhere outside of a tropical or sub tropical environment would have to be temperature controlled due to the crocs being cold blooded! Even in the lower regions of Australia crocs can’t be found, they only thrive in the top end of Australia and throughout the tropics of Asia!
Not disputing that baby Crocs may be available to purchase in the uk somewhere, but it would last only days (if that) if you released it into the uk waterways
I was convinced I'd seen a crocodile (or similar) when I was camping with the cubs over Cannock as a kid. I ran back and grabbed the others and when we returned I couldn't find anything that even looked like it. People told me it was probably a log (and it probably was we just never saw it from a similar direction when I returned) but Cannock Chase does have it's secrets :)
@@goose791 Everybody who spends time alone on the chase has at least one tale. I used to go over there in the middle of the night and try and photograph deer at dawn :)
Went to the chase the first time a couple months ago. Just slept under a tree with my dog at night in the heart of it. Beautiful scenery. Inspiring place, look forward to going again Edit: would love to hear ur stories about the place. The only weird thing happen to me was a man and 3 dogs disturbing me about 3am. The dogs ran up to me and mine barking and I just told them to fuck off. Stares were shared at the owner for a minute and he carried on walking. I was “camping” where I should not have been
I live in Leeds which is about 65 minutes away from Filey where this was filmed, a local "expert" has claimed these are seals. They're clearly rocks and I bet if you go at low tide you'll see them every day. But yeah even claiming it's a seal is a joke 😂😂
@@leedscity6881 lmao is that for real? I live just round the corner from Roundhay and I've heard stories of Ghosts and all-sorts but never a Crocodile eating dogs 😂😂
There was a Crocodile on the Gloucester Canal down stream from Sellars bridge where the water gets a bit shallower, look for where the Wilder beast cross and he’s around there somewhere.
After a really large flood in northwest UK I thought I saw a Croc... it was huge n followed my boat in a canal...freaked me out lol but locals said it was a massive sturgeon that came from a reservoir that flooded area..
how cold does it get in the UK? I live in Texas , it gets to around 0 degrees Fahrenheit at least once during the winter here , the alligators live through it just fine.....
Lots of people don't realise how cold of temperatures these animals can actually endure... They can't live at these temperatures forever, but they can for decent amounts of time 👍🏼
The cold in Britain is different. Polish mate was saying about how cold it gets back home he said is no bother until it gets to about-20 3 degrees in London and he’s freaking out can’t get warm, The damp here hits your bones
@@bronoun8884 100% correct , I lived in Finland for over 4 years …. In the colder months it hit -35 degrees but mainly around-20 to -25 in the south which was ok , I worked in -25 regularly but always said in the uk 0 to -2 when it’s damp goes right through to your bones 😎👍
I left the UK in my early 20's and didn't have much interest in wildlife. I went to the US where I worked for 10 years. In that time I visited loads of different climates. I was hiking through the Utah desert and seen a mountain lion disappear into thin air, a giant bird of prey eating a desert hare that he freshly got. Snakes, turtles, scorpions and I found it fascinating. Fast forward, back in the UK and I've found a new appreciation. I've seen otters eating fish on a river I was paddling (Thetford Forest way), pulled the largest grass snake I've seen in the UK out the river and he was chill as I handled him. Basically, I'm old and boring now. I be sure to check out more of your videos to sustain me in my boring interests now 🤣
Cookie, loved the Mandarin Ducks mate ! Great photography. Well done. Had to laugh, about the croc. Got lots of Crocs up here. Fresh and Salt. Ha. It's the salties you gotta watch out for. 😁 Cheers Colin, Cairns Australia.😎🐊
Thanks Cookie. Your camera equipment is doing a great job. Those Mandarin ducks are beautiful. I thought you were going to tell us the croc had eaten them! Ducks come in some incredible shapes and colours and we have quite a few of the exotic species right here in the UK. Great to see.
Mandarins are very pretty another really pretty one is the wood duck "Aix sponsa". It lives around wooded forest ponds in my part of the country and nests in woodpecker holes mostly so the babies have to make quite a jump.
I saw a documentary once that showed crocodiles frozen in water with their mouths and noses protruding to breathe and they fall asleep in this frozen state until it thaws so I guess crocodiles could survive here it’s not that cold 🥶
We do have Wallabies and black jaguars here in the UK to name a couple of other introduced creatures . The Wallabies are thriving I believe in Devon and Cornwall, The Isle of Man and another lsle off of Ireland but I can't remember the name 🤷♀️
We have a family of wallabies here in Wiltshire and I’m sure I’ve seen a lynx but there’s no actual evidence of big cats so could of been a misjudgment. I’d love for there to be big cats in the uk but with no actual proof since the 90s it’s almost impossible for there to be
There are more jaguars in the UK than in almost any other country on earth bar a few. And you can get them in a whole rage of colours, not just black. I once saw an F-type on a drive way in Harrogate
You cannot compare Crocs to these ........as soon as you introduced Croc to the UK waterways it would be dead in hours, maybe a day or two........much too cold, even in high summer, wrong type of water, etc
People watching this may have heard of the cannock crocodile. I remember a few years ago when some journalists came up to cannock because they were stupid enough to believe there was a crocodile living in a small lake just outside of cannock. I know a woman who lives in cannock and she told me the story of the origin of the cannock crocodile that she said she had never told anyone about. There is a brook that runs through great wyrley, which is near cannock. Her son had a plastic crocodile when he was a kid. One day he decided to throw it into the brook, and it floated away. Someone must have seen it floating down the brook, which must have looked like a real crocodile. That is as close as we have come to crocodile living in our country. It was a crocodile, and someone must of actuallly saw it floating down the brook, so the cannock crocodile was real. It was just made of plastic that's all.
considering the fact that a lot of people in the UK think that a little half centimetre house spider is dangerous it doesn't surprise me that people with crocodiles are here
@@n0killz44 couple inches damn something to fear a spider that’s got a leg span of a couple inches shock horror lol a spider that’s a couple inches in tiny Edit: after doing to research the false widow isn’t dangerous nice try ;)
Have you ever heard of the crocodile of Crete? I've been trying to find a decent story on it for a while now, cause there's multiple drone videos of it, it was alive at some point, but the trail just goes cold and I can't figure out what happened to it, I know it's not necessarily in the UK, but it's one of those "animals in the wrong place" story's that's really fascinating
Someone gave a report to my local newspaper that there dog got bitten by some snake , but the snake wasn’t poisonous and the experts are saying that people who are struggling to look after their pets and they release them in the park etc, so guys don’t😮 do that because they don’t know how to hunt and they will die of starvation etc, but since the climate is changing so other things will also change for example the wildlife, weather, and a lot of other things, so look after your carbon footprint guys!!!!! Take care 👍❤️
Crocodiles and alligators survived the mass extinction... They have been on this planet for millions of years...I'd never say never ...But that was definitely rocks...Maybe they could survive in lakes in England now and survive...they probably would become adapted over time...There are huge terrapins in a lake in welwyn garden city in Hertfordshire...They have been there for decades...we had colder winters then too... My uncle saw something in the Thames once and estimated it at about 6 ft long...he knew it was alive and not a log because it made a disturbance when approached and disappeared from view... no Crocodiles, bur I suspect a good sized wels Catfish ...since then ,they have been caught to 50 pounds in the Thames...? I like the idea of new species and its survival and adaptive qualities in a new environment... as long as they aren't detrimental to the natural animal population...
i know you probably won't wanna talk about it but expert now think that there are some big cats in the u. k. cause there has been some confirmed big cat kills and sightings down in near me in exmoor in devon
I remember a video fairly recently where they brought a big cat hunter over from Africa to check out these ''sightings'' and ''kills'', and every one of them was debunked. I forget what most of them were - wild animals but some were also domestic dogs - but definitely NOT big cats. But eyes and perspective play tricks. There was a ''big'' cat sighting down here in Ireland out in the country near a friend's house. Several reports of a huge black shaggy/furry cat, finally caught it on camera and it did look huge when you saw the image. But it was across a field against some trees and apparently the distance plus the elevation made for an odd perspective, so what seemed to be a huge cat (and I've seen the photos) was actually a fairly large, but not lion large, Maine Coone. Black and definitely furry and it really did look like a black panther from the angle people saw him but very definitely nothing more than somebodies very large pet cat.
Liking the video, found you from the Mattsb channel. There's a monkey forest in Stoke on Trent that may make a good video. There's alot of natural beauty and some iconic monuments surrounding the land nearby.
Crocodiles are a tropical creature. They need warm water and watm weather all year round to survive. American Alligators are more cold tolerant but would struggle to survive in most of Europe, especially in the UK.
There is an old carpfishing lake in the south of the uk with freshwater crocks the owner imported 15 ome is 11 feet long and he feeds them dead sheep and folds
Noway terrapins can't reproduce because our summers are not consistently warm enough. Crocodilians need tropical climates they couldn't survive out winters they maybe mild but still to cold for them.
Pareidolia like this get reported so often. Best one I've heard of was a neanderthal in the woods near me that turned out to be a ranger from the council.😆
Me and my friends went for a walk in a forest called archalleagon when we were younger in the Isle of Man and we saw a log in the river and the first thing we shouted was “CROC” and it looked like a baby one and we believed it for a year😂
There was a crocodile killed in France off the coast remember they can hibernate and go 18 months without eating and you can own them as pets in the UK there's snapping turtles in earlswood lakes if they can survive so a crock or an alligator
The fact that Cyprus had a crocodile living and it essentially died when the temps dropped to about 22 degrees. More to the point, unless you have specific licensing permits, you won’t be housing a crocodilian here. Simply won’t be happening. Much less the fact that your looking at tens of thousands of pounds to own one, if you had all that - I simply cannot see someone releasing a crocodilian. Much less it surviving. The notion of one swimming over… forget about it. Madness. It seems like people lapped this up big time. Sad to see that common sense isn’t even common.
An interesting fact is that you actually have more chance of seeing a Mandarin Duck in Britain than you do in their native China. There are probably less than 1,000 pairs still living in the wild in China whereas the introduced British population exceeds 7,000 individuals. ,
Well, now heres the thing... People knowing about wildlife doesn't preclude the outside chance of a pair of crocs escaping an illegal, private collection somewhere, and making their way out to sea, especially if they were salt water crocs. That being said, it would have to be something properly mad like an escape from a private collection or a zoo, because theres no physical way a crocodile, even a salt water croc, could migrate via open water from its natural habitat to the UK. There just wouldn't be a route they could take without getting put in an obituary by some kind of shark. Occam's razor cuts this one to the bone, but improbable is not the same as impossible. That being said, these are rocks.
Yes you are right these are 2 rocks that stick out of the sea. I know this because I live nearby and fish in that area. As soon as I first saw the video I knew I'd seen these rocks before :0)
Alligators have been found a bunch of times, in the uk (probably ex pets). The place they survive best is in the sewer system. They can get very big there. However, sewer authorities never talk about it (and play it down) Otherwise ..their 'hiring pool' would be smaller than it already is :)
Think you’re confusing alligators with turtles… I heard some of the turtles down there are huge, they even walk upright and display what appears to be martial arts skills when threatened.
That is not a statue of a crocodile. Only Aligators have rounded snouts like that Crodiles faces are far more sleak. As to Crocodiles and Cambien in UK waters it is always a possibility on average the RSPCA seizes 20-50 of those 2 species in the UK which have been imported by sailors illegally then sold off in bars. People see something small and cute not realising it will grow to be a 4ft plus ((for the cambien)) deadly predator.
I do not see Crocodiles, On the one hand I see ROCKS, but the constant moving the camera gives the small impression from my eyes that makes it appear that the ROCKS are moving. People should know better, If they said they recorded some brown looking whale or dolphin floating in the ocean, okay but even then I wouldn't believe them. Shout aloud what we're all thinking cookie! keep up the fight
no just rocks...but i can tell you though there are reports of upright cannine creatures in the forest of dean along with cannock chase and near winsford
This kid sounds like a really nice kid and well informed with his own common sense. Where do these people get these ideas from? I mean not only is it way too cold for crocs to live in the wild, it's gonna be way too hard for a croc/crocs to survive there isn't an abundance of natural foods for them also. Of course we have Swans and Geese and all manner of foul but they wouldn't be enough to sustain them naturally. These things pull Wilderbeast and Zebra into the water and they are huge compared to most of our land animal's or mammals. I think the biggest land animal we have in the UK would be a horse or maybe some big bulls somewhere, I can't think of anything else that's bigger and living wild. No it just wouldn't happen. Maybe when global warming becomes way worse it might. Now great white sharks I could believe quicker than crocs but even then it ain't their perfect habitat also.
Kind of cold in the UK now? If a crocodile got loose (people have strange choises in pet animals in your country) it would just lay around freezing it´s green ars off, wouldn´t it? No swimming in cold waters, it couldn't really, could it?
No....its a log. I've seen crocs when I was in The Gambia, water in the uk is much too cold.....plus, it wouldn't survive the winter, where the hell would it go?
I live in Filey and i know the area where this was filmed and ive fished in that area for years, They are certainly Rocks i think she was drinking or smoking something very strong lol.
Townies and the Media, hilarious. If you're mooching in the Forest, always keep an eye out for the Wild Boar, proper stroppy buggers and potentially very dangerous.
If it is crocs someone had to have dumped them,I don't think they could swim from anywhere to here without a rest. I may be wrong but I don't think I am.
Big up the rockadiles
That's not a crocodile at 3.44 you pat but an alligator, the way to tell is the big rounded snout. A crocodile has a thinner snout

@@WildlifeWithCookie yeah I know but it's in the shape of an alligator and not a crocodile I should have said

thats fascinating at first i was like huge crocodiles, and then after a second look big rocks
The bristol croc is a local legend 😂
Not disappointed that this video popped up in my 'suggested' at 1.30am.
At My local lakes I’ve seen those ducks a couple of times, it’s a real treat
There were rumours of one escaped a film set in Bristol! The movie was about an escaped crocodile
There was a crocodile killed in France off the coast remember they can hibernate and go 18 months without eating and you can own them as pets in the UK there's snapping turtles in earlswood lakes if they can survive so a crock or an alligator
0:10 YES!!! Hes found a living thylacine...........I knew youd do it.
What even the crocodiles want to come to the UK 😂😂😂🇬🇧
Illegally. 🇬🇧👍
The fact that Cyprus had a crocodile living and it essentially died when the temps dropped to about 22 degrees.
More to the point, unless you have specific licensing permits, you won’t be housing a crocodilian here. Simply won’t be happening. Much less the fact that your looking at tens of thousands of pounds to own one, if you had all that - I simply cannot see someone releasing a crocodilian. Much less it surviving.
The notion of one swimming over… forget about it. Madness.
It seems like people lapped this up big time. Sad to see that common sense isn’t even common.
An interesting fact is that you actually have more chance of seeing a Mandarin Duck in Britain than you do in their native China. There are probably less than 1,000 pairs still living in the wild in China whereas the introduced British population exceeds 7,000 individuals. ,
Crocodiles prefer warmer climates, I doubt they'll be able to cope with colder places like the UK.
Even New Zealand is too cold for Crocs to visit from Aussie
There are crocodiles in Norway! Seriously! For real, there are. But none in UK.
Well, now heres the thing... People knowing about wildlife doesn't preclude the outside chance of a pair of crocs escaping an illegal, private collection somewhere, and making their way out to sea, especially if they were salt water crocs. That being said, it would have to be something properly mad like an escape from a private collection or a zoo, because theres no physical way a crocodile, even a salt water croc, could migrate via open water from its natural habitat to the UK. There just wouldn't be a route they could take without getting put in an obituary by some kind of shark. Occam's razor cuts this one to the bone, but improbable is not the same as impossible. That being said, these are rocks.
Yes you are right these are 2 rocks that stick out of the sea. I know this because I live nearby and fish in that area. As soon as I first saw the video I knew I'd seen these rocks before :0)
Alligators have been found a bunch of times, in the uk (probably ex pets).
The place they survive best is in the sewer system. They can get very big there.
However, sewer authorities never talk about it (and play it down)
Otherwise ..their 'hiring pool' would be smaller than it already is :)
I'm too dumb to know whether or not you're joking.
Think you’re confusing alligators with turtles… I heard some of the turtles down there are huge, they even walk upright and display what appears to be martial arts skills when threatened.
Absolute bollocks......think you've been watching the old movie Alligator. Someone starts the rumors and that's it lol
That is not a statue of a crocodile. Only Aligators have rounded snouts like that Crodiles faces are far more sleak. As to Crocodiles and Cambien in UK waters it is always a possibility on average the RSPCA seizes 20-50 of those 2 species in the UK which have been imported by sailors illegally then sold off in bars. People see something small and cute not realising it will grow to be a 4ft plus ((for the cambien)) deadly predator.
That is either wood or rocks lol
The ducks are fab! 😊💗
I do not see Crocodiles, On the one hand I see ROCKS, but the constant moving the camera gives the small impression from my eyes that makes it appear that the ROCKS are moving. People should know better, If they said they recorded some brown looking whale or dolphin floating in the ocean, okay but even then I wouldn't believe them.
Shout aloud what we're all thinking cookie! keep up the fight
It’s extremely rare to see a crocodile or a alligator in the UK
no just rocks...but i can tell you though there are reports of upright cannine creatures in the forest of dean along with cannock chase and near winsford
This kid sounds like a really nice kid and well informed with his own common sense. Where do these people get these ideas from? I mean not only is it way too cold for crocs to live in the wild, it's gonna be way too hard for a croc/crocs to survive there isn't an abundance of natural foods for them also. Of course we have Swans and Geese and all manner of foul but they wouldn't be enough to sustain them naturally. These things pull Wilderbeast and Zebra into the water and they are huge compared to most of our land animal's or mammals. I think the biggest land animal we have in the UK would be a horse or maybe some big bulls somewhere, I can't think of anything else that's bigger and living wild. No it just wouldn't happen. Maybe when global warming becomes way worse it might. Now great white sharks I could believe quicker than crocs but even then it ain't their perfect habitat also.
One question... how do "rocks" that big float? Rocks that size would sink. Fact.
The males look incredible 👍
Crocs are capable swimmers. However the distance involved is too great for them to travel.
Your obviously talking about a Saltwater Croc.......yeah it certainly would be a decent distance to swim here from......Australia lol
@@sparkesman1980 could do it in stages, like a long holiday lol
I live on Ullswater and a couple of idiots said they had seen geese being pulled under water by a crocodile. Yeah right
The cold water crocodiles have grown fur to keep warm, and are now almost indistinguishable from otters. 🐊=🦦
Greeintgs from Canada!
It's a rockadile I live hear, and it's there every low tide. Same place .lol
sick video bro
Kind of cold in the UK now? If a crocodile got loose (people have strange choises in pet animals in your country) it would just lay around freezing it´s green ars off, wouldn´t it? No swimming in cold waters, it couldn't really, could it?
There was a case that was reported some year ago of a caman found walking around the streets
Weve got a walrus in Sunderland and I think that the dinosaurs may still be in Middlesbrough
No....its a log. I've seen crocs when I was in The Gambia, water in the uk is much too cold.....plus, it wouldn't survive the winter, where the hell would it go?
I live in Filey and i know the area where this was filmed and ive fished in that area for years, They are certainly Rocks i think she was drinking or smoking something very strong lol.
No, i used to live near here. Thesr are two rock formations
I had a friend who, at night saw a fox shitting, she said " look a kangaroo" this was central London. F.f.s
Just wait, dearest Brits. Tropical green anacondas have been spotted in central Florida, as far north as Gainesville, FL. It's just a matter of time.
Ducks were beautiful. Weird, cause I came for the crocodiles lol.
I love ur all videos 💟 how u present that video documentary. It's quite interesting to watch love from India 🇮🇳❤🇬🇧
Never mind the crocodile story?
What the hell is that ducks head doing about to just separate from it's body at 6:32 ?
How would they be able to get the heat needed and feeding on purely ducks, doubting it
Common mistake its a algeyHobo they live in swamps because pound lands don't give free stuff
My local Asian restaurant does a nice Mandarin Duck.
Lovely pictures of Mandarin ducks.
That statue looks more like an alligator to me
It's to cold for them to be naturaly here in UK unless it was a pet that out grew it's inclosure so they dumped it
Townies and the Media, hilarious. If you're mooching in the Forest, always keep an eye out for the Wild Boar, proper stroppy buggers and potentially very dangerous.
Check out my ‘Animal Anomalies’ playlist, I did a video on them trying to find them!
If it is crocs someone had to have dumped them,I don't think they could swim from anywhere to here without a rest. I may be wrong but I don't think I am.
Never mind the crocodiles. Thank you for the amazing Mandarin ducks.
