Today, we are going around my entire zoo and we are going to be feeding all the animals
that call my jungle home.
Um, Rufus, do you like the apple?
It is very good, right?
It is very good.
It is very delicious.
Simone is on my shoulder and she already sneak attacked the food bowl.
I didn't even see that.
So this guy is going absolutely ham for his food.
Oh my goodness, look at those big kitty teeth.
Come on.
Oh my gosh!
What is up everyone and welcome back to my channel.
I hope all of you guys are having just an absolutely amazing day.
And for those of you that are new here, well, I'm Jacob and welcome to my crazy jungle.
Now if you guys saw the title and thumbnail, you will know for today's video that today
we are going around my entire zoo and we are going to be feeding all the animals that call
my jungle home.
We're going to be feeding big cats like jaguars, leopards, and servals.
We're going to be feeding anteaters, sloths, capuchin monkeys, lemurs.
We're going to be feeding reptiles, tortoises, snakes.
You guys are in for a real treat.
I'm going to show you guys what it's like to feed and take care of all my animals.
I don't think we can get every single last animal, but we're going to get all the main
characters here on the channel, the animals that you guys have grown to love, my family
members, the ones that I love so much.
So we actually already fed all the animals and we finished up with it today.
So without further ado guys, let's head to the feed room and let's get started feeding.
Another day and we are back in the feed room getting ready to feed all of our animals.
So right behind me on the table we have a bunch of our mammal bowls ready to go.
Now we've already had some of the other zookeepers actually feed out some of the bowls for the
other animals, but for our main characters on the channel, we're going to be doing all
of that.
So right here we have got our lemur bowl, we got our capuchin monkey bowl, and we got
our marmoset bowl.
We got our parrot food here, which is our parrot pellets for our parrots.
So we got Charlie the cockatoo, and then we have our Amazon parrots in the back.
Then we have our sloths.
We got baby bean right here, and inside of his bowls we got lettuce, we got leaf eater
biscuits, we got sweet potatoes, zucchini, we got all kinds of good stuff.
And we have our adult sloth bowl, which is basically the same thing as the babies except
there's more food.
But the only thing we're missing here today is some delicious monkey biscuits.
Monkey biscuits are one of the best breakfasts in the world.
I absolutely love eating monkey biscuits.
I don't know if you guys have tried monkey biscuits before, but they're delicious.
They're delicious, but they're also really dry and really crunchy.
And now that you guys got to see all of our bowls, we have got to go feed our first animal
today.
I know I told you guys to comment down below who we should feed first, and I'm thinking
we are going to be feeding Bean the sloth, or our adult sloths.
I think we're going to do the adult sloths.
Now the reason why we're going to do the adult sloths is, well they're just the closest animals,
so it just makes sense.
Okay guys, we made it over to our sloths, and they are waiting at the door, and they
are hungry, and they are wanting food, so we're just going to get our lock off of here.
And we've got to head in here as fast as we can so the sloths do not come over, because
they're going to try to get inside of the double door.
So we've got one of our sloths right here, we've got Mama Sid waiting at the door.
Hello Mama Sid, how are you doing?
And then we have Suki going up top, so we've got Mama Sid right here hanging out with us.
So I'm thinking Mama is going to want a zucchini, which is her favorite treat.
This is what I typically will give the sloths when I first come into their enclosure in
the mornings, is I'll reach out and give them a zucchini.
That's typically one of their favorite treats, so you can see this incredible sloth is going
to use his little crazy fingers to immediately grab the zucchini, and he's going to use his
giant molars to crunch down the zucchini.
So as you can see, these sloths have basically vampire teeth, so if they were to bite you,
it'd be a very bad infection, because they actually have no enamel on their teeth.
So with sloths specifically, you definitely never ever want to get bit by a sloth.
It's almost always an instant infection that requires a hospital visit.
Now in the wild, they have two-toed and three-toed sloths, so these right here are two-toed sloths.
And how do we know?
Because if you look at his front hands, you can see he's got these two toes, or two claws.
But if you look at the back feet, they actually have three claws.
So when trying to differentiate between a two-toed sloth and a three-toed sloth, you
always look at their front feet.
So this one is a two-toed sloth.
We've got our other two-toed sloth, Suki, here and waiting and ready for his food.
So Suki is one of the most handsome sloths that I have ever met, and I'm so happy that
I get to call this boy mine.
He lives here at my zoo 365 days a year, and right now he is trying to figure out what
is in the bowl, but I think he might try to bite my finger.
So he's got a bowl full of vegetables, and he-
Ah!
Okay, I have a very delicious treat for you.
I have one zucchini stick a la carte.
Very good.
It's very nice.
I promise you, it tastes much better than my finger.
Suki's eating, Sid is eating, and these sloths are some of my absolute favorite creatures
in the world.
I love getting to hang out with them because of how gentle and calm and peaceful they are,
except for the fact that Suki tried to take my finger off, but that's okay.
I won't blame him.
He was hungry, and my finger, well, I think it looks like a carrot.
Alright, we're heading in with Roo and Rufus, my black and white lemurs, and we closed the
door.
And right now, we're bringing their food bowl down, and we are ready for their food.
So right here, the lemurs are coming to eat.
We've got Roo and Rufus, my adorable lemur kids, and right now they're coming to eat
their delicious monkey biscuits and their delicious food.
So Rufus just found a banana right now, and he is going to eat it.
So listening to lemurs eat their food is probably one of my favorite things in the entire world
to do because they just have the funniest little crunching noise.
I don't know if you guys can hear, but we've got Roo right here, we've got Rufus back on
the bananas, and what I want to see them eat is I want to see them eat apples.
They love crunching on the apples, and it is just the coolest sound in the world.
Um, Rufus, do you like the apple?
It is very good, right?
It is very good.
It is very delicious, too.
It is one of my favorite apples in the world.
Yes, I like it.
So right now, while the lemurs eat, I actually love to be in here and actually pet them while
they eat because this is actually great desensitization for them because sometimes animals and primates,
they can get food aggressive when they're eating, so by sitting next to the animals
and talking with them and petting them while they eat, well, this is the best way to make
them as friendly as possible.
So one of the coolest things about getting to feed the lemurs is watch them forge through
their bowls.
So in this bowl, they're actually going to forge through all the fruits, the vegetables,
and the monkey biscuits and pick out their favorite part.
And of course, the lemurs knocked all their food on the floor.
Guys, thank you.
Thank you so much for that.
Roo and Rufus are the best lemur kids in the entire world, and Rufus is being so nice right
now.
Unlike Roo, who wants to attack me, she wants to come for me.
Guys, she's not the nicest lemur in the world right now.
So look, you can have your boyfriend back, and I'm just going to go now.
So now that we got to hang out and feed Roo and Rufus, my black and white lemurs, it is
time now to head over to Alfie and Theo Jr., my capuchin monkeys, and we're actually going
to be feeding them because I don't know if you can hear them.
Theo?
Alfie?
Bananas?
All right, I hear them in the distance.
They are calling for their food.
They know it's time for breakfast, so let's go grab their food and let's go give it to
them.
And of course, we cannot forget Simone the marmoset.
Now Simone doesn't really like that many people, but right now she's on my shoulder, and we're
going to put her food bowl right down here and see if she wants to come for some food.
So you can see Simone is on my shoulder, and she already sneak attacked the food bowl.
I didn't even see that.
I think she's picked a little bit more diet, so I absolutely love getting to hang out with
one of the smallest monkeys on earth, which is the marmoset.
Now a lot of people think, I want a monkey, I would love a finger monkey, guys.
I'll tell you right now, you don't want a finger monkey, you don't want any monkey,
because monkeys like Simone actually have a really strong smell.
They actually kind of smell like body odor.
They kind of smell like stinky armpits, and that's the smell that they secrete and they
rub all over you.
So if you have a monkey like this in your house, your house is going to smell like body
odor.
Theo and Alfie don't smell bad, but that's a whole other ballgame.
That's literally a toddler.
And of course, we cannot forget the banana for our favorite girl, Simone.
Simone loves her banana.
But with these monkeys, you don't want to give them too much fruit, because too much
fruit could actually lead to a whole bunch of issues.
But we do give her fruit every day as a part of her diet, because she absolutely loves
it.
And in small amounts that are portioned, well, it's perfectly healthy.
Pick your food.
We brought you the whole bowl, only the most delicious foods in the whole entire world.
We got to feed Simone.
We got to hang out with her.
I love getting to hang out with her.
So now it's finally time to head over to Alfie and Theo and go give them their breakfast.
Excuse me, monkeys.
Excuse me.
Oh my goodness.
Guys, someone's crawling up my shoulders right now.
We have Alfie Jr. because they see their food.
Theo, Alfie.
Hi, guys.
So right here, we've got all my incredible capuchin monkeys.
We got Theo Jr., my absolute favorite girl in the whole world.
We got my daughter Theo right here.
Theo, hi.
Who knows?
The monkeys see their breakfast, and today we have got a delicious breakfast for them.
So we actually added some cereal.
We added hazelnuts, almonds, pumpkins.
And Theo has already stolen the first piece.
Theo could not help herself.
Look, that is okay.
And Theo actually stole a hard-boiled egg.
Theo, it is okay.
Our capuchins are hungry, and it is time for our food.
So we're going to pour all of their food out here on their platform.
So right now, the monkeys have got their food.
I think Alfie's got some hard-boiled egg, if I'm not mistaken.
That was Theo's first choice.
Theo is actually eating some cereal right now or some macadamia nuts.
So we've got...
Yes, yes.
It is very delicious.
Do you like it?
Do you love it?
Look.
Alfie wants to look at the camera.
He wants to look in the bowl.
But guys, you're literally sitting on your food.
You're trampling it.
We spent a lot of time making this the best possible breakfast that we could do in the
whole entire world, and my babies are loving it.
I'm so happy you love it.
Thank you.
So I would say the clear winner here today is the macadamia nuts.
We got these to start incorporating into the capuchin monkeys' diet, because that's something
they would eat naturally in the wild.
And as you can see, Theo is loving the macadamia nuts.
So is Alfie.
And they've got a whole smorgasbord of food.
We got squash.
We got apples.
We got cereal.
We got all the monkeys' favorite treats.
Guys, getting to spend my days surrounded by these incredible monkeys is one of the
greatest blessings of my life.
These are my children.
I have a lot of people ask me, Jacob, you know, you have all these animals.
When are you going to have kids?
And these are basically my children.
I think it's actually more work than a kid.
So we are a single dad over here taking care of monkeys every single day, 365 days a year.
And the next animals we're going to be feeding today.
I don't know if you guys can take a guess.
Can you guys take a guess about what we're feeding?
And right now, it is our Amazon parrots.
These two actually don't really even have names.
I would like to call them the crazies, because they do not.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, guys.
How are you going?
Guys, I feel like I've run an insane asylum here with all these parrots.
Yep.
Yes.
How are you doing?
Yes.
Now, I wish I could actually take these Amazons out.
I do a can.
They're not the nicest, guys.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry if you can't hear.
Yep.
I know.
All right.
Here you go.
There's your food.
So the parrots are going to be so happy to come and get their food.
They're here.
They're about to eat.
And this is the...
Yep.
I know.
Yes.
Get it out.
Yes.
The Amazon parrots are fed, and boy, do they have a lot to say.
So now we were actually going to move over to Charlie and the macaw, but I just found
out that my other zookeeper already fed them, so that is fine.
We're still going to stop by and say hi to Charlie and our macaw, and then after that,
we're going to go meet another one of my favorite animals, and that is actually Orkin the anteater.
You guys met him a few videos ago.
He's the coolest anteater in the world, and if you guys didn't meet Orkin the anteater,
well, you guys are going to get to meet him in just a little bit.
Oh, besitos, besitos.
Thank you so much for the very best kisses.
So guys, right now, we made it into my encounter tiki hut with Charlie the cockatoo.
So when you come and visit me and my animal family, you guys will get to come in this
beautiful tiki hut, and this is where you're going to get to meet a lot of the animals,
and one of those animals is actually Charlie.
So Charlie is an umbrella cockatoo that's been with me since, I believe, 2021.
I'll have to go back and look, but Charlie's been here for about three to four years now,
and he is just the sweetest bird in the entire world.
As you can see, he wants nothing more than to be cuddled up next to my head, getting
his feathers scratched, and getting all the kisses.
Isn't that right, sir?
You want all the kisses, and you would like your feathers preened?
So Charlie loves having his feathers preened, so his favorite thing in the world is to actually
lay down like this and have his entire head scratched.
You can see he's just resting into me, getting his head scratched, and he loves it more than
anything.
So Charlie is an umbrella cockatoo.
There's over 21 species of cockatoo in the world, and these guys can be found in New
Guinea.
You can find them in Australia, the Solomon Islands.
So cockatoos can be found in a wide variety of countries.
I know, you want to step up.
It's actually really windy right now, and Charlie, I think he might want to fly away.
So there's a bunch of cockatoos that are found all throughout the world, and we're lucky
enough to have the umbrella cockatoo here.
Charlie is the sweetest bird, and he is so elegant with this beautiful white color.
So Charlie is up on my shoulder, and we're going to head out of our encounter tiki hut
right now, because we still have some hungry animals to feed.
We've got to feed some hungry animals, but we've also got to see the macaw, and we've
got to see our emus.
And of course, we cannot forget about Kalik, our blue and gold macaw.
The only thing is, Kalik is not that nice of a bird.
You can see he's blushing.
If you look at that pink on his face, he's blushing, but he definitely wants to bite
us.
We've got Orkin the anteater waiting at his door, and we are inside his enclosure, and
we just got to close on up and make sure we're locked up.
So Orkin is in his quarantine enclosure.
As you guys know, we introduced Orkin a couple of videos ago, and Orkin is our northern tamandua.
So this is one of our little quarantine setups for the time being, while we still are screening
Orkin.
Although everything has come back normal so far, we still have him in quarantine until
we know he's safe and ready to go.
So right now, Orkin is licking my arm right now, because he is searching for some ants.
So these anteaters will eat up to 10,000 ants a day.
Now we don't have ants here in captivity.
If you guys watched the last video, you do know that we feed this insectivore diet, which
is really good, delicious stuff that has all the same nutrition as ants.
Buddy, we have your food, but it's right here.
I know, I know.
We can kind of sniff it in the air.
We can sniff it!
And you can tell that he is very sleepy, because his eyes are barely even open.
I'm telling you, these anteaters know, before I even come with the food, I think they can
just literally smell it in the air.
So listen, buddy.
We're going to pick up this crazy anteater kid right here, and we're going to bring him
on up.
We're bringing him up here to the platform.
And look, bud.
Look, you've got your food.
So right now, we lifted Orkin up, and he is going to use his over 18-inch long tongue
to get all of that insectivore diet.
Now, getting to hang out with Orkin the anteater is one of the absolute coolest experiences
in the world.
These anteaters are so unique, they're so strange, and there really is nothing like
them.
They're just, I think, a really underrated animal.
A lot of people do not even know about these smaller anteaters, but I'm so happy to bring
this incredible creature into all of your guys' lives.
So hopefully you guys are learning something here today.
And that's my goal here, to teach all of you guys about the magnificent animals that call
our planet home.
And right here, you can see Orkin's little claws, and when I mean little, they're not
that little.
Maybe this one is little, but the one in the center is not little at all.
We'll see if he'll let us see this hand.
So these are the claws that these anteaters will use in the wild to dig through the termite
mounds to find their ants.
So this center claw right here is what the anteaters are going to use to forage and find
their food.
They're going to use it to tear apart rotting stumps, to dig into the ground, to climb the
trees, even as a natural defense mechanism against jaguars and whatever other predators
might be hunting them in the wild.
So this guy is going absolutely ham for his food.
He doesn't care about anything but his food, so we're going to try and move the food away.
I want to see if I have it in my hand, if he'll eat it.
Buddy, I don't know if he wants to eat.
I don't think he wants to eat out of my hand.
Oh, wait.
Wait, come here.
Come here.
Oh, okay.
There we go.
No, he wants the bowl.
All right.
And as Orkin is eating, he's literally shooting the little insectivore balls all over the
place.
You can see the motion of his tongue flickering back and forth is sending them all over the
floor and all over his platform.
So we're going to let this anteater kid finish up his food.
He's absolutely amazing, and I'm so happy that I get to share him with all of you.
Last thing I want to show you on Orkin is his perhentile tail.
So just like the capuchin monkeys, this tail is basically a fifth hand, so you can use
this tail to wrap around your wrist just like this.
It's literally like a handcuff for these guys, and I wish you guys could feel the force that
he's using.
He's literally squeezing and latching on.
You can see he's holding onto my wrist, and it's just the craziest tail in the entire
world.
Orkin is finishing up his food, and the next animal on today's list to feed are my emus,
Ghost and Shadow.
We're going to head over there right now, and we're going to go feed them.
Okay, so I've got Ghost's food, and Ghost is sitting down over here in the corner.
So we're going to see if Ghost actually wants some food.
If not, we're just going to hang it up.
So right here is Ghost, the nicest, kindest, tamest emu in the world.
She's so nice, and all she wants to do is be pet right now.
Well, she doesn't know.
She doesn't know we got some food for her.
We're just going to see if she wants anything.
Ghost, would you like some food?
I think, wait, I think she might go.
Ghost, look, we've got food.
We've got your favorite treats.
We've got some emu pellets.
Here, would you, would you like some?
Would you like it?
No?
So it doesn't look like Ghost wants her food right now, which is perfectly fine.
So right now we're just going to hang it on up right here on our little feeding area.
So we're going to hang that up, and then we're going to go feed Shadow, because as you guys
know, we do feed the emus separately, because when it does come to food, they can be a little
bit aggressive.
And when I mean aggressive, it really is only Ghost that's the aggressive one.
Ghost will try to run Shadow away and just kind of be mean to him, so that's why we keep
them separate when we feed them.
And this time of year in South Florida, it is extremely hot out, so we try to get started
with the animal feedings as early as possible, because during the day right now, it's been
about a heat index of about 107, so it's pretty unbearable midday to be out here.
So we try to feed the animals as early as possible, because when it's cooler, that's
when they're actually going to want to eat.
So right over here, we've got Mr. Shadow.
Shadow!
What's up, man?
We've got Shadow's food, and Shadow recently has become pretty friendly, so we're just
going to hang Shadow's food here for now.
We're going to see if Shadow wants to come over.
We're going to grab a handful.
Shadow!
All right, I guess we're going to have to hop in and see if Shadow wants some food.
So we're going to take our food, and we're going to hang it under the tree, which is
where we normally hang it for Shadow to get his food.
So Shadow, come, come, come, come, come, come.
So Shadow is being a little bit shy right now, so as soon as we step away, Shadow's
going to come over, and she's going to start munching on her food.
I guess she wants to sit down to eat.
I have never seen an emu eat like this, guys.
I've never seen my emus eat like this, at least.
So right here, we've got our emu, and this is a regular black emu, the standard color.
And I'm sorry, I don't want to scare you.
I don't want to scare you.
But if you look at those feet, those crazy dinosaur feet are the closest living relatives
to the dinosaur.
These emus are basically modern day velociraptors, and the velociraptors you'd see in the dinosaur
period would also be feathered like the emus, except these guys are not meat eaters, and
they're actually pretty tame, and they're not nearly as smart as a raptor.
So Shadow was just there again eating at the food tray, and when I started to approach
her, she immediately walked away.
So I don't know why she's being so shy lately.
We've actually got her pretty tame to where she's actually been eating out of our hands.
So we don't know.
She's being a little shy today, but that is okay.
So we got to feed our birds.
We got to feed the monkeys, our sloths, so we're actually going to get started on our
cats.
We got to feed the big cats today.
We've got to feed our servals.
We've got to feed the clouded leopards, and of course, Noir, the black jaguar.
I made it into the carnivore room, and we have all of the cat's food ready to go and
ready to be fed out.
So we got food for Ollie, Nebula, Cheech, Chong, China, and the monster, Noir.
So Noir is eating almost five pounds of food a day right now.
He's about four pounds a day.
So in today's meal, we've got beef, we've got Oasis vitamins, and we've got chicken.
So this is the perfect meal for the jaguar.
We got all the rest of our food, which these cats have some chicken today.
So right now, we're going to head outside, and we are going to go start feeding our cats.
So guys, let me know down below, who should we feed first?
Okay, we made it over to Cheech.
He's got his food, and he sees it, and he is ready to eat.
These servals are definitely a little bit food crazy.
So Cheech, I'm coming in.
All right, we got our lock off.
Cheech is waiting at the door, and he is waiting to rub up on me.
So we're going to open up right now.
I'm going to let this sweet serval in. What's up, boy?
So right now, Cheech is just going to come rub all over me.
He knows we have food, but he still wants to be loved by his fodder.
So he's going to come, and he's going to give me the love.
She's going to give me the kisses. She's going to be a nice, kind, sweet boy.
All right, Cheeto, are you ready for your food?
Are you ready to be a big boy? Come on up.
So Cheech is up, and he is ready to crunch on his chicken.
So in the wild, servals are actually going to eat a lot more chicken items than they would beef.
They're going to hunt on a lot of birds in the wild.
These guys can actually jump over 10 feet into the air at a single time
and catch a bird and put it into its mouth in one shot.
So they definitely have a diet that's high in chicken.
So we do give our servals a lot of chicken,
and we give them a lot of calcium because they are a very lanky cat.
They require a lot of calcium, and we give them whole prey rodents.
We give them all kinds of good stuff.
So right now, Chong is crunching on the chicken,
and he's going to use his molars to help break it up.
We already kind of break it up a little bit for him,
but we still leave it kind of chunky so it helps clean his teeth.
These servals are real-life mini cheetahs.
You can see they have the same spots as a cheetah.
They've got these beautiful, big, black spots.
And Cheech has got to be one of the most beautiful servals that I've ever seen.
If you look at his fur right now, you can see that the bars on him are super wide.
It's almost an inch wide.
And right now, he is shedding his coat.
It's been really hot, so he actually needs to be combed out.
You can see, just by brushing his hair with my hand, there's a ton of fur coming off.
This guy is a really sweet boy.
So Cheeto Man just finished up his food,
and now that Cheeto finished up his food,
the next animal we're going to be feeding is Ollie, the clouded leopard.
And we can't do that without the help of Hannah.
Hannah, are you ready to feed Ollie?
I'm ready to feed my favorite cat.
Yep, so Hannah has to feed Ollie because I can no longer really go in there.
Ollie doesn't really like me.
I can go in there, but Ollie doesn't really like me,
so I don't want to disturb Ollie's peace.
So we're going to leave Ollie up to Hannah.
So Hannah, you're going to take over.
So we got his food right over here.
We got two pounds of chicken in here.
We got his delicious food.
Nothing but the best for my favorite kitty boy.
Let's take a look at this.
We got some delicious stuff.
It even smells good.
Do you want to try it?
Let me see.
So right now, we made it to the back side of Ollie's enclosure,
and Ollie is in his lockout ready for his food.
But Hannah's actually going to walk in there and take him his food.
Hi, boy. You are ready for your food.
I know you are a very, very hungry cat.
So this right here is actually a mobile lockout for Ollie.
So if we have a hurricane here in Florida,
we can actually close this door.
So we can actually move him to a safe location
in case we have a storm.
So Ollie is ready for his food.
He's the most handsome clouded leopard boy in the world.
And Hannah, I am passing the camera off to you.
It's all you now, Hannah.
Okay, guys. Are you ready to go feed Ollie? Let's go.
Alright, so we got Ollie's food,
and we are going to coax him to this platform right here.
He's smelling it.
He's smelling the chair.
Oliver, look.
Come here, my handsome.
Come here. Yes!
You found the food.
So you can see Ollie man has found the food.
And he is just munching and crunching away.
Oh my goodness.
Look at those big kitty teeth.
That is some good, good food.
Now it's really amazing
because clouded leopards are one of the most
rarest cats in the world.
Actually found throughout the Himalayas
and throughout Indonesia as well.
And honestly, one of my most favorite cats.
I mean, just look at his pattern.
Look at this little kitty face.
Yeah, you're just too cute.
You can see how he's just licking away.
He's grabbing that chicken with his spiky kitty tongue right there.
Now just like any other cat,
Ollie also has these spines
all over his tongue
that actually enable him to lick up
all of this good meat right here
and in the wild actually helps him lick
all of the meat off the bone.
So you can see when Ollie was licking up
all the meat right here, he's using his spiky tongue
right there to grab it
and using his big old teeth to chomp down on it.
Now if you notice, his teeth
are abnormally big for his size.
And that's because
clouded leopards are the last
living relative to the saber-toothed tiger.
And if you also look at his pattern
and see what looks like
clouds all over his body
is where the clouded leopard gets his name
because it literally looks like clouds
all over their body.
And also look just how extremely long
Ollie's tail is. I'm pretty sure his tail
is the size of his body
but if you're wondering why the heck
is his tail extremely long
in the wild, they actually use his
ginormous tail to balance himself
when they're jumping from branch to branch.
So Ollie is all around just an amazing
little kitty boy right here.
So handsome, so cool.
So now that you got to see Ollie eat,
you got to see him up close and personal.
We're going to let him do his thing. We're going to let him finish
his yummy, yummy food right here
and we're just going to go and we're going to find Jacob.
One minute,
37 seconds later. Ollie is
such an amazing cat and right now
we are getting ready to feed Noir
the black jaguar. Noir is here
and Noir is ready for his food.
So right now we're going to put his food down here
on his new feeding area.
So we got this nice
aluminum plate installed for his feeding.
It started to rain guys so we got to get him
fed really fast. So he already went to his food
right now and he
I wasn't expecting him to do that. That was actually
really crazy. So Noir actually opened his
shift door. As soon as I unlocked it he grabbed it
and slid it open because he is one hungry
jaguar boy. So right now Noir has got
all of his food and he is going to eat
all four pounds of that chicken
today. It's really kind of hard to see Noir
in this lighting right now. We just had crazy
torrential thunderstorm for five minutes
but he's here and he's loving his food.
So right now while Noir eats
we have got to come and pick up his poop.
So right here we've got some giant
jaguar turds and these are some giant poops
and we've got to come in here every single
day to do this because he poops every single
day and honestly this is a big poop
but this is actually quite tiny for Noir.
I don't see any more pieces but this was a small
poop today so we come in here every day
and we pick up the poop and make sure
his enclosure is nice and clean. We put it in the poop bags
and I am not seeing
any other poop here but sometimes
it blends in really well with the mulch.
China, Chong and Nebula did not want to
eat today because of the rain and that is okay
because we're going to try in a little bit. So we might
see China and Chong and Nebula but we might
not but be on the lookout for an update on
Nebula. Everyone has been asking how is Nebula
doing? How are her eyes? So we've got
an entire update video planned so if you don't
see Nebula today you guys will see her in a
couple videos. So now that we got to check out
our cats, we got to feed the monkeys, we got to feed
most of the gang here. We're actually going to go grab some
carrots and go feed the Galapagos tortoises.
Alright so I think we're going to have to rain check
the tortoises for today. We have our big
giant Galapagos over here
walking around way over here. This guy is on
the move but the rest of them are
actually sleeping right now and I actually want to get all
of them in one giant pile
eating a bunch of carrots so we're going to have to do this
in the morning because the other ones are sleeping
and we don't want to disturb them so that guy
is probably making his way to his spot for the night.
So guys I will be back with all of you in the morning
when we're going to feed the tortoises.
The next morning. Good morning
good morning my beautiful people. We are back
outside and it is beautiful and sunny
today. The rain is gone, the sun
is shining and we've got some hungry
giant tortoises. So first things
first, we got to feed our baby giant tortoises
so in here we have a baby
Galapagos tortoise and a baby Aldabra
tortoise. So those are the two giant tortoises
and right here we're going to throw them a carrot
treat. We're going to see if they come out. So typically
the tortoises are really attracted
to these bright colors. So as soon as we throw it
yep, there he comes. He's coming out
and that's instantly going to attract
these guys to come over and
start eating the carrot. Now I don't know if Mr.
Aldabra man will come out but our
Galapagos is definitely out and ready to eat.
Alright here you go buddy.
So we're trying to desensitize our baby Galapagos
because as you can see he's very shy
right now so he is eating the carrot
and we did leave it a little bit thick so it's a little bit
harder for him to actually bite
so there's more of an enrichment game for him to
actually eat the carrot. He's going to use
his legs to step on it. You can see he might actually
do that right now. He's eating his
carrot and this little guy right
here is one day going to be a
500 to 1,000 pound giant.
Absolutely insane to think that
something this tiny will one day be
so big and right now he's about the size
of the palm of my hand. Actually he's
probably about the size of like two softballs.
He's absolutely amazing. He's so cute
and right now we're going to leave him be so he
can munch on his carrot. I don't think our
Aldabra wants to eat any carrots now
so we're going to head inside with the giant tortoises and we
are going to try to see if they want some
carrots. So we got two of them over in this
little sliver of shade over here
and I think the rest are going to be inside of their
house right now. It's the morning
but it's definitely hot out
so we have got to make
our way over here and there's two tortoises
in the house. So right now I have all
the Galapagos tortoises piled
up and ready to eat their
carrots. So we got our biggest tortoise.
He's ready and he came right over
and wants to eat his carrots
so we're just going to give him some and he is the most
powerful of all these tortoises. You can see
just effortlessly he's able to bite
through the carrots. We got another one here
so we're going to give you some as well. Hey, would you like some?
We're going to give some to this little guy
and we also have these two that are also
sharing carrots. So what I'm thinking we're going to do is we're just going to dump
one giant pile here in the center
and these guys are going to go crazy for their
carrots. So we got all the tortoises
we got the Aldabra, the Galapagos
our little guy
and our big guy. You can see the main difference between
the Aldabra and the Galapagos
is the Aldabra has more of a dome shell
whereas the Galapagos is more
round and the Aldabra
actually has that pig pointed nose
whereas the Galapagos looks kind of like
E.T. And just like that
there is only a couple bites of
carrots left and it is safe to say
the carrots are one of the Galapagos tortoises'
favorite snacks. So now that we got
to feed the Galapagos tortoises, we've got
a couple more reptiles to feed and we've actually
got some mice thawing out over by the
reptile room because we've got to head over and we've got to
go feed our Amazon tree boas. Okay guys, we
made it to the reptile room and we've got some
spicy, angry, hungry
Amazon tree boas in here. You can see
this guy is locked and loaded
and he is looking for his mice.
So right in here, we just thawed out
some mice for these guys and we got some tiny
little guys right here. So we got these small
mice for the hungry boas.
So we're going to start here. We're going to start with my favorite
one first. We've got this really
beautiful Amazon tree boa. This one has got
some really nice yellows, blacks,
reds. This one is probably
my favorite out of all of them. Then we've
got this darker phase one that's actually going into
shed right now and he sees my finger and he's going
to try to strike at it. This guy
is actually waiting so we're going to see if he wants to strike
right now. We're just going to dangle our finger.
Look at him, he wants to eat right now.
So we're actually, you know what, might as well just get him started
with eating in just a second. So
we've got our other yellow phase right here
which is another beautiful snake and I would say that
these are our two largest tree boas.
We've got this guy right here. He's looking
for some food. So you can see they're actually a very
thin and a very lanky
snake. These snakes are meant to be
very thin and actually be
in tiny little branches out in the
jungles of the Amazon forest. But here in
captivity, it is okay to raise them in
these smaller setups because it's easy
to keep them really clean. They can find their water
easily but we're going to be setting them up in
some really nice bioactive enclosures
once they get a little bit bigger. So this guy is
completely stretched out right now
and he's going to track the heat. He's following
the heat with those heat pits on his face
because he's looking for something hot
and he's looking for something tasty.
So I think we're going to feed these guys first because they
are definitely hungry and we're going to feed this one
because he wants his meal. So we're just going to come
and bring it right here. Let's see. Come on
little guy. Come, come on. Oh my
gosh! He just nailed it.
He absolutely nailed it. So we're just going to set him
right back down inside of his tub.
He nailed his food and that's exactly
what we wanted to see. So now that he's latched
on it, we don't really have to worry about him biting me.
So we're just going to move him right here to the side out of his
water. Then we've got this other one right here
and we're going to feed her right now. One,
two, and she's going to go. Oh, there she goes.
She just nailed it and that's exactly
what we wanted to see. So we got a couple more
rodents for the rest of the snakes.
Now the one that's going into shed, we're just going to
feed him one rodent. So we got this right here.
He's going to nail it. I'm thinking he's going to
hit it just as hard as the other ones. Yep, just
like that. Oh, and, oh,
no, no, no! So right now he just
latched on to the tongs,
but that is exactly why we use these rubber
coated tongs. In case the snakes actually latch
onto them, it won't hurt their teeth. So
he totally mistaked the tong for
the mouse because it definitely smelled and tasted
kind of similar. So in
just a minute, I'm sure he's going to let go when he realizes
that's not a mouse. We're going to try again
for round two. And because
he's in his shed, he can't see well.
But round two worked and he grabbed his
mouse. Oh, and he didn't. So because
this guy is in shed, we are going to leave him
alone and we're actually going to close him on up. He
has a mouse in there, but we're not sure if he's going to eat it.
So we're going to have to keep an eye on him.
This pretty girl right here is completely
taking down her mouse. There's like nothing
left of it. So we're going to close her on up
because she just finished her meal. That's exactly
what we wanted to see. And
we have another one right here.
We got our last guy. He's sitting actually
really funny. I think he actually smelled the mice
right when we came over with him.
So he's going to come right here. We're going to see if he
wants it. Oh, and yep,
he took it. He took it right away.
The Amazon tree boas crushed their
mice and the last animal that we're going to
be feeding today is Xena,
my dog. And unfortunately, she didn't
even want to say hi. All she cares about is the food.
So I guess we're just going to give her her food.
This is Xena, my African
Borrel. She is the nicest,
kindest girl and she's ready for her
food. She loves it so much, more than
anything in the world. So this is easy and it's
kind of hard to see her right now. She's a really
dark color and we're in the shade right now.
But Xena is the sweetest girl
in the world. She's so nice.
And can I see this for a second? Can I see it for
one minute? Can you show us your face?
Look. Come here. Come, come, come. Let's go
to the grass. Come. Alright, alright. Sit. Wait. Sit.
Sit down. Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit. You are ready?
You are ready? Can I have a paw?
Can I have a paw, please? No,
you don't want to give me the paw. You just want the food.
Alright, here. Have the food. It is very nice.
It is very delicious. It is so good.
