Hey y’all! It’s finally done! The Belize video from our last Gatorland Global conservation trip is up and what an wonderful emotional video this one is! We saw and did so much from Jaguars to Tapir, to tooth surgeries and health checks, including Rose from The Belize Zoo to have her first check-up performed by a team of croc experts- this video has it all!!! And you get to see how just by watching this channel you’re helping alligators and crocodiles around the world! I really hope you love it! I cried while I was editing it.
Part of CRC's rehabilitation is not just monitoring and assisting ill or injured crocodiles like Cato, but also utilizing some adverse training on crocodiles that have been habituated to humans through illegal feeding or handling like Cracker Jack, or better known as CeeJay. The goal with our adverse rehabilitation program is to give crocodiles a second chance back in the wild, ensuring that they graduate from our program being shy and timid of humans again.
