| 365 Days Living with Wild Animals | Full Year Review | 31 Dec 2025 | 00:30:32 | |
I spent the last 365 days living and breathing animals! From caring for my 30+ exotic animal rescues including Soni and Chompers the alligators, Shere Khan and Buddy the giant Burmese Pythons, my large Sulcata Tortoise family, snapping turtles, and my pet emu, Napoleon. To traveling the world to exotic places full of wildlife including South Africa for wild lions and leopards, to the deep forests of Uganda searching for the rare Mountain Gorillas. 2025 has been one incredible year! In this end of the year recap, my wife and I sit down in the Alligator House (with the alligators) and go over our highlights, month to month. I share never-before-seen footage AND for the FIRST TIME EVER we share some exciting updates, including a top-secret film project and our goals for the animals in 2026. I hope you enjoy this full year review! Happy New Year! | |||
