Here's Jilfia (my pet Salty) coming inside my home to be fed & also wanting some company with me. Addit: Do not ever try to approach or feed a crocodile !!
Just letting you all know I am not afraid of this Croc, but yes, I am naturally cautious and wary when near her......she is a Salltwater Crocodile, after all !! I posted this video to demonstrate how intelligent these crocs are and are also quite capable of learning and responding to verbal commands. However, these ancient apex predators also demand and deserve to be respected and also feared......they should never be approached or fed like this in the wild or anywhere else !! Jilfia was hatched and raised in captivity and has become accustomed to being fed like this by me......
Vicki Lowing May God take care of you lady. I pray that you or your family don’t get eaten one day. She might be raised in captivity but who knows what she is thinking.
These should not be pets. One of the world's biggest reptiles with some of the strongest jaws, and from what I assume, an individual with little to no experience. You're just asking for disaster. Animals, particularly the these kind, are UNPREDICTABLE. You might be telling yourself "oh but she's so sweet! She could never hurt me!" But you just wait. This is NOT a good idea.
Lil Kodak there jaws are capable of a newton force of 16,450. we as humans biting into a steak are only capable of 200 newton force. so there jaws are most definetely powerfull when biting opening on the other hand there not so good at
The Keeper she literally kept moving back as she was feeding it plus she had to put a chair infront of it so it doesn't bite on her and eat her, you gotta know her heart was beating throughout the whole video it's 45% caution and 45% terrified
This crocodiles are smart every second he/she is there is learning her habits, timing her on her walk, timing her on her reaction time, looking at where she likes to go or where she does not like to go, every second that crock is there its planning on how to kill her.
It's only going to take one minute, one second, one distraction. That's it. All it wants is food. It can't give you love. It won't do tricks. It's not happy sitting on your kitchen floor. You seriously need to rethink this situation. And charge your phone.
You're a joke... The fact that you are terrified of what the croc can do to you if you get close to it's mouth shows why these creatures shouldn't be taken in as pets. Just let the wild stay in the wild why aren't you people just happy with domesticated dogs and cats never ceases to amaze me
The fact that she's apprehensive about it only shows her maturity and ability to think rationally. Obviously if you're around an animal like that you have to be reasonable and careful. You should be careful with dogs and cats too, btw. A cat scratch can land you in hospital with nasty and dangerous infections. You can inhale water from a tropical fish tank containing the amoeba Naegleria Fowlerii and die within 5 days (it's so rare it pretty much never happens, but it is theoretically possible:). If you think about it nothing around you is 100% safe. Any animal can be a pet as long as you are responsible and capable of providing it with adequate conditions and care. Some people just have a different passion than your stereotypical cat or dog or fish, but that doesn't mean they're wrong or stupid. Plus, in the wild these animals face lethal dangers that can decimate their population and cause them a considerable amount of stress and suffering. They are regularly killed by humans, hit by cars, suffer from diseases, parasites, injuries and infections that rarely happen in proper captive care. Their habitat is constantly at risk of destruction, pollution and urbanization. If we really want animals like this to thrive in the wild, we should first probably make sure that they have a home to return to.
+Amber Fire first and foremost let's not get into rare diseases then we can go ahead and talk about why you shouldn't even go outside and have a cup of coffee at a restaurant cause of the off chance you get a contaminated spoon which can and has lead to fatal health issues. Let's put all that aside. A croc living in the wild and die of diseases etc for a short lifespan is better than one living in captivity by it's lonesome. I'm sure you will agree with the same thing. Crocodiles are the most social of all reptiles and this one is by itself. We are social begins would you want to live alone in an alienated home or with your family in the wild with the dangers that come with it? I'm pretty certain a vast majority of people will choose option B. And please don't call my suggestions of animals to be stereotypical it's cause of people like her Zoos exist. Animals should never be held in captivity. If every person who ever visited a zoo did so cause they love animals then they should really consider changing their diets and their options of clothing instead of visiting zoos etc.....so yes I agree that these creatures don't have a home at the moment but crocs will continue to be breed solely for the use of being pets if people like this woman continue to want them. P.S. I've been around dogs and cats since I was 2 years old even stray ones (from my country of Sri Lanka) and never have I been bit or scratched by a single one. The one Sri lankan crocodile that was near a river were we used to play around attacked a villager and torn off his hand. You see the immediate danger differences? You can't even compare the two.
Crocodiles may be the most social of reptiles, but they do not form social groups and merely congregate in certain areas and tolerate each other at times of feeding etc. They are not like wolves that will wither away in isolation. But even assuming that crocodiles do indeed require being kept in a group to be happy, all it means is that this woman is maybe making a mistake by keeping it alone. It doesn't however mean that the whole practice of keeping crocs as pets is wrong, because maybe somewhere else there's somebody with an enormous fenced-in garden that has a lot of money and is capable of keeping a whole pack of crocs. Assuming that that other person would be able to provide his crocodiles with everything they need and would have enough common sense and knowledge to keep himself and others around him safe, then there would be absolutely nothing wrong with him keeping these animals. Besides, having a passion for animals is not some sort of disorder or a sign of being lonely/unhappy. Some people just genuinely are into it, and should not be denied their passion as long as they are able to meet all their animals' needs, both physical and psychological.
Los Games when she left the thing unsupervised and went to the room I almost had a heart attack. I know the cameraman was there but she left him alone with the animal multiple times and she's even scared to be close to it.
This woman is like the coolest person on the internet, if my mother would see an alligator trying to get inside, she'd automatically die of heart attack.. So I digressed as usual, but I actually meant to compliment that totally badass woman inviting a crocodile inside like it's a dog. Honestly, this video almost melted me inside..
Fred Polizzi , Firstly she's not an alligator, she's a Saltwater Crocodile & she's also 11 years old.....so still a youngster. And for the record, I'm not scared of her but naturally wary of her. And i do pet her regularly ! Thanks for your interest & reply :)
Vicki Lowing I enjoyed watching you interact with your animal. I see the care you take for the comfort and protection for the both of you. If it makes you happy then people should mind their own business. I think it's ironic that men and women can have sex changes and all other kinds of personal decisions and people all over the world jump to the rescue if someone has a different opinion or dares to voice anything that differs from their agenda. You on the other hand are minding your own business, not hurting or forcing your beliefs or opinions on others. Not harming the animal and enjoying taking care of it. It most definitely enjoys the regular meals! I also understand you speak more to the animal for your own enjoyment and millions of folks do the same thing with all sorts of creatures knowing full well they don't comprehend what your saying. Maybe the tone gets through on some maybe not. My point is, you keep doing you and ignore the haters. Be safe and enjoy your life as you see fit.
Thank you so much Yoie Gunderson, for your lovely & supportive comment. I really appreciate it & your understanding of my interaction with my Croc. And as for the haters & their comments, i do ignore them coz they obviously don't have any comprehension of bonding with an animal. But it sure is nice to read the occasional positive comment like yours which always puts a smile on my face. So, thank you again & you be safe too and enjoy your life ! :)
Phone: beeps for low battery Croc: "Hello? I think your phone is dying." Woman: "Oh hey Croc, you want some food?" Croc: "Well yes but that is entirely beside the poi-" Woman: waves food in the croc's face Croc: noms food "You win this round, human."
This lady is incredibly brave. I cannot imagine a situation where I could do what she does with this croc. Her heart is in the right place and she is cautious and very cognizant of the capabilities of this dinosaur (LOL). I pray she continues to be a beacon and caregiver for those animals who cross her path. I also pray for her safety while she cares for her critters. 😊
wow....thank you so much, luenhoek, for your really nice positive comment. It's not very often I receive a positive comment & I appreciate it very much. And thank you too, for praying for my safety, which i also appreciate very much. THANK YOU !! :)
@@thingsidoomed Yes, I used to have the time to try & reply to as many as I could but unfortunately, I’ve been having to cope with many problems occurring in my life over the past 3 years which have been taking up all of my time……just so you know
i get why you love her. There’s not alot of people who’d be happy to adopt a crocodile. I hope she lives a long time and you two can have alot more time together!
Alexis Kinsey Its a wild animal You shouldnt have it Its the same like: You cant have a lion in house Its just insane She can have it But it will not be a good feature Because it stays a wild animal It will never be a lab dog So yeah 💩
She is the most brave person I saw in my life, I know many people do play with crocodiles, but inviting them in your house and feeding them is a really really brave and hard thing to do, I'm sure she is cautious about the crocodile
Well, I understand that people find this dangerous. But I guess the lady knows what the risks are. So, as long she's taking care of the croc, it seems to be happy.
Maybe, maybe not. But that's not for us to decide. Some people say that I am stupid for lifting heavy weights in the gym, which can be also dangerous, with over 300 pounds on your back.
Lol you notice the camera person was not moving any closer. They’re like I can record from back here. I could be wrong but that little bit of food is nothing I’m sure it’s thinking about eating you. Interesting video. Not sure how I came across it.
Thanks Kay Jewels, for your comment.....yeah, the bloke filming this was a tad nervous of my pet.....and no, you're wrong about Jilfia thinking about eating me......she just knows I've got the food for her and she loves her food.....that little bit of food I feed her adds up to a lot of food in total......up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs) in just one meal !
Clorox Bleach I was just thinking that "sure she thinks she knows what the croc is thinking but, since when did she ever have the ability to read that animals mind?" in simple words she can't. Anything can happen. This indeed was still dumb.
Did anybody out there see that guy from South America who saved that Alligator who was shot and left for dead? That was one huge Alligator who literally swam with that guy in the river and he feed him and took care of him. Check it out; an amazing vid that has to be seen to b believed
Because once a Croc or Gator is fed by a human, they expect humans to feed them. So when they come across a person with no food there is a good chance it will attack. When the 2yr old was killed at Disney it was soon learned that the local Disney Fireman had been feeding the gators. BEFORE the 2yr old was grabbed, the gators had started chasing ppl at the Firehouse to their cars. Memos went out telling them to STOP THIS, you are putting ppl's lives in danger. Then only a few weeks later the little boy was grabbed.
@@stardino9475 I'm aware of that. But my fear was what happens when she gets to big and the government comes for the croc. Because she is tame and over 5ft they kill her. Lucky for the Croc she is now safe else where in a "Decent pen". But sadly she is now like 11ft and locked up like that is like being in prison. She cried a lot when they took her away, but now has several croc's and again when they get to big she will have to give them up and they spend the remainder of their lives in prison. She's not "Saving" any croc's, she's mating them.
This is actually so cute. Symbiotic relationships with animals are actually amazing. Even "cold blooded killers" can make good friends, it seems. I'd genuinely do this, it wouldn't bother me unless I had small children.
LilTraumatik Thanks for your supportive comment......I really appreciate it & can certainly do with as much support I can get.....too many people are too , quick to judge me & my pet crocs which is sad. So thanks again 😊🐊😴🐊
@@TheCroclady More than welcome 😊 I got love for all creatures of this Earth, just because an animal is powerful and defensive doesn't make it "less worthy" than more docile animals haha. If your crocs make you happy n they're happy also there's absolutely nothing wrong in it. There's some petty people in this world, but I guarantee they wouldn't say it to his/her face! haha. Be safe, have fun :D
Yes, she is a crocodile, however, was bred and raised in captivity as a pet. I'm fully aware she still carries 200+ million years of wild predatory instincts in her dna, which I respect. I trust her to a certain extent, but am always careful when near her......And she is a good girl too......and she does listen to what I say.....but I'm also aware she could try and bite me one day and thus, I can never let my guard down.......that's just common sense !
Not only wild animal, but also reptiles! You can only domesticate mammals with high intelligence like dogs and (maybe) cats. Remember dogs have millions more of neurons in the brain than cats, and cats have millions more than bears. Only intelligent mammals can conceal their instinct and live together with human, yet the progress is thousands of years to be done. For example, even the well trained tiger can bite you when you turn your back on them, despite any kind of bonds you have. It's their INSTINCT!!!! Never mind, this lady is so ignorant of biology.
And now for News RU-vid-the family of the missing Crocodile Lady says they have not seen her in 7days. The last time she was seen neighbors said she was closing a patio door behind a Crocodile.
danceballetacro lol she’s crazy I bet her house stink and I thought they had to be close to Water I also hear a sheep and other animals you can tell she’s scared too
I love gators and crocs.❤ 🐊 I always saw them to be the most intelligent of all the reptiles. I would of loved to be Chito. The croc Pocho was not a pet but Companion to Chito. Pocho sadly passed away I believe in Oct 2011. More people need to see his and Chito's story. The lady respecting a croc and feeding it. These types of videos warm my heart. There's more to these creatures than we give them for.
Thank you L Ryuzaki, for your positive comment......it's much appreciated. And yes, crocs and gators are very intelligent animals.......and way more than we give them credit for. I loved watching Chito & Pocho's story.......amazing bond between the two of them. Also made me feel I'm not alone with my love & understanding of my "pet" crocs......I would've loved to have met Chito & Pocho & was really saddened when Pocho died......I really felt for Chito for his loss. I'm glad these types of videos warm your heart.......just a pity there aren't more people like yourself who feel the same way ! :)
Rashida Davis. you took the words right out my mouth I was saying the same thing I stopped watching the video I hate people like that reminds me of people on the phone about paying your bill you can't understand a damn thing they say
I can understand the comments about not good idea to have a crock for pet,but what I can't understand is why the insults on this woman! calling her stupid! no reason for name calling!!!
Joyce Norton first of all calling someone stupid in the video is because that is what stupid gets especially when the stupid one posts the video. Plus, she clearly has many other PETA in the house how does stupid know if the croc is not going to eat them? or neighborhood pet's that wonder in to her yard. Clearly there is more to this then meets the eye.
Heck, some people risk their lives for extreme sports, yet they get positive feedback. She feeds the crocodiles, so they aren't hungry. The neighbors should look after their own pets.
Millions of years later, crocs would have never thought they would be chilling out in someone's kitchen, eavesdropping on a conversation between delicious humans
Awww, she's like, mom I just wanted to hang out with you 😊 she's beautiful ❤ how do your crocs do around visitors? Are crocs able to be domesticated because Jilly seems very sweet and friendly. How is she doing in her new home? Hope all is well for Jilly and she's adjusted Ok, if you visit her any time soon can you post a video, I've been following your channel for quite some time, although I rarely comment, I love watching your interactions with your pets, crocs get such a bad name, like sharks do, thanks for educating us here on you tube.
Hi Morticia Addams, Thanks for your comment & for following my channel......I really appreciate your support. Yes, Jilly is a beautiful Croc & really was a very placid and trusting one with me. I would say she was very much domesticated here when living with me coz we really did have a bond between us. She was also very good around strangers providing I was also there with them. Unfortunately, I don't think she will be the same where she is living now coz she's been treated like a normal croc......not badly but not the same way I treated her. I really feel for her in her new home where she is no doubt feeling abandoned & betrayed by me. And yes, I will most definitely post a video of her when I eventually find the money & time to go visit her. Thank you once again for your supportive comments which really mean a lot to me & I appreciate it so much too. xxx
Brave Woman... She doesn't need any pepper spray or taser to overpower a thief at her home... She has got a special weapon with hundreds of sharp teeth...
She is feeding the crocodile but also is clearly in a running stance just in case the crocodile lunges at her. This is how people end up as casualties. God, please bless them with some common sense regarding 'wild' animals. Smh...I could not even finish this video.
