apologies for the cut-off at the end, my camera died lol. just glad i got most of the show.
anyway, this was the croc show from Steve Irwin day (November 15th) 2020, featuring the Irwin Family plus Chandler along with Nick - a head keeper - and of course, Monty the saltwater crocodile!
Time stamps!
0:35 - 2:32 Robert Irwin feeding "Monty"
this "Monty" is actually named Oberyn, and, as mentioned in the show, isn't a saltwater crocodile, but instead, an American Alligator!
Oberyn is pretty new to the show, and his part used to be played by another alligator named Andre. however, Andre was getting a little too big, so they brought in Obe! he's probably only been in the show for a month or two, and he's doing really well! the first time i saw him, on one of his first shows, he
was super slow to come out, since he was still learning. he's doing so much better now!
6:24 - 16:00 - the Irwins + Keeper Nick feeding Monty.
Nick gets pushed into the water, as usual, and quickly passes off to Terri, who does the initial strike + haul out at 6:45
Nick then gets Monty over to the creek, to the fence, for another small strike at 7:45
Monty knows the show, and once he's got his sausage from Nick, heads over to the tailwalk ramp without prompting.
this is my second time seeing Monty in a show, and both times he's known exactly what to do, moving from spot to spot without any prompting. usually they have to splash the water, stop their feet, or tap a bucket to get the croc over, but Monty just knows where the next bit of the show is, and heads over.
anyway, Bindi does the tailwalks, as always.
two walks, one at 8:24 and the other at 8:44
Monty wasn't in the mood for his rat, so left it and headed straight across to the next spot for the Chicken feed with Robert.
strike at 9:11 but Monty didn't feel like hauling out all the way, so just kinda sat while Robert tried his best to get him all the way out
Terri and Bindi move around by the fence at 9:30 which grabs Monty's attention and he turns from Robert to look at the girls, but strikes back at Robert pretty quick as 9:33
still doesn't haul out, but he gets his chicken anyway.
Monty slides back in and starts to head home, before turning around and coming back for the death toll segment with Robert.
strike at 11:24 and the tug of war begins.
two death rolls, one at 11:42 and the other at 11:57
at 12:23 Monty loses the pig leg and comes half out to grab it again at 12:28
Monty gets his leg at 13:00 and refuses to let it go, and starts the swim back home without care in the world.
and then Chandler jumps in to lead him home. pretty risky as Monty was right in the front. usually the crocs at the back, best the Tailwalk ramp, when he jumps in. but Monty was right there, and Chandler was running lol.
after the camera cut off Monty did eat his pig leg. he just wanted to take it home first i guess.
this was a fun show. probably one of the better ones ive seen. it's always nice to see the Irwin's, though i do wish Wes was in the show. he brings such a fun energy to the whole that that really reminds me of Steve.(my favourite show was actually one with Wes, where he fed Graham. i think I've got it up somewhere on try channel)
