Chris Gillette aka Gatorboys Chris is one of the most passionate wildlife experts you can find and an animal advocate that has been working with the wildest animals in the world for a LONG time. He has done it all from handling extremely venomous snakes to hand feeding GIANT crocodilians that most people would be terrified to even stand next to. He runs gator tours in Homestead, Florida giving people wildlife experiences that they might not ever get the chance to have otherwise. One of his favorite gators, Casper, even responds to his commands and knows his own name. The work he has done with the gator he works with every day is astonishing and has brought a new perspective to human and alligator interactions. He has shown that while they are still capable of being very dangerous animals due to their extreme strength and lightning fast striking capabilities, they are not monsters but rather beautiful creatures that are heavily misunderstood by a large portion of the public. On top of his work with wildlife, he has grown his Youtube channel, Florida's Wildest, to over 500,000 followers.
Rosie Moore is a geoscientist and wildlife expert that has seen some of the craziest things you can imagine. She grew up in Missouri and moved to Florida get a degree studying Sharks, but ended up finding herself interacting with just about every different type of animal in between on the way there. From climbing in trees and studying thermoregulation in freshly hatched Wood Storks to opening 18 foot Burmese Pythons stuffed with entire Alligators, she has done it all. While working at a Herpetology lab, she videoed an intact American Alligator inside of an invasive Python and went insanely viral overnight. This lead to appearances on CNN, FOX News, Daily Mail, and just about every single publication on the internet across the entire globe. Since achieving this level of attention and gaining a huge platform, she is focusing on growing the ability for women to follow their passions in science and specifically herpetology and sharks. She appeared on this year's Shark Week on Discovery and is getting more followers and views by the day. She is an up and coming name to watch in the world of wildlife content so make sure to check her out.
