In this video we take to the Holland Bay Crocodile Sanctuary 🐊 in St.Thomas Jamaica
more information below
👇👇👇
Holland Bay American Crocodile Sanctuary is a sanctuary for American Crocodiles in Holland Bay, Jamaica. They protect adult crocodiles and raise baby crocodiles safe from predators.
It was founded by a Jamaican native named Lawrence Henriques.
The American Crocodile is the only crocodile species that lives in Jamaica. The majority live in mangrove swamps, marshes, and rivers along the southern coast of the island.
It is estimated that there are only 700 crocodiles left in Jamaica.

🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks to this gentleman for caring for theses animals. I've learnt something new today. I was not aware that such place existed in Jamaica. Well done to this man for preserving the lives if these animals. I hope to visit this place at some point. Thank you Sir! This is educational for many people
Jeggery....
Thanks for sharing the his very interesting video, I had no idea there was a sanctuary for crocodile in St Thomas 👍🏽
Neither did I have always though that it was located in Portland.
Where in Saint Thomas
It's in Holland Bay
@@paarieeastsidemedia oh ok
I wish the keeper all the best with this project somebody need to take care of these precious animals. Next time i travel to Jamaica i shall visit this place.
One of the safest farms in Jamaica.. there will be no predial larceny here!
That's true 🤣🤣🤣
@@mystery5655 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣 You Wish! Mek things guh to dirt and see if them safe!!
Lie you a tell a $1000 a pound for the meat ...
😅😅😅a joke u a meck
This was truly spectacular......great preservation and public awareness program
Very nice mi backfoot
These are the things that Jamaica should be paying attention to there are a lot of other species of animals in Jamaica that a basically going extinct on the island. We need more people or organization like him. And all those people with the negativity and misunderstanding they might be dangerous but still a importance to our history
Amazing
Agreed, I remember growing up hearing stories about galliwasp and how dangerous they are. Now as an adult I've learned we've basically wiped out these harmless reptiles with the introduction of non native mongoose. We have to educate ourselves on these myths and recognize these animals are a part of Jamaica's ecosystem and have a right to live in nature.
Like really! Who needs crocodile running wild in their country of paradise? You will wake up one day when it’s at your door steps or your love ones. Educated fools!
@@rasras4749 this planet is big enough for man and beast. Whether you believe in God, Nature, the universe, whatever or whoever has placed these animals here as an apex predator. They might seem insignificant to you but they're a part of the food chain and been in the Americas long before slavery. I'm not saying they should breed and live on people front door, I am saying they have a history in Jamaica and deserve to live.
They can go extinct for all i care go
I respect and appreciate what this man is doing. I found it funny that he has some of the most dangerous animals on the planet on his property yet there is a "Beware of dog" sign on his gate.
I did see any dogs there😅
what a irony
I hope You will still respect it when it reaches you and your family door steps genius!
There was a caution sign (croc habitat)
When my husband is relaxing, his mouth is open too😂
😂😂😂
Is he maybe part of the species 😂😂😂
Thanks so much for this I didn't even know this beautiful place existed in my country
I didn't either until I went there
Beautiful until they break loose in your back yard.
THAT PLACE NEED TO BOOM UP
Soon we’ll be crocodile infested. Don’t trust that foreigner man.
as much as I truly admire this man for his bravery in reality I need to take survival lessons from that cat 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 how the heck did it survived literally living on a crocodile farm?
Now that’s an awesome tourist attraction right there am from Barbados 🇧🇧 wud love to see this
Right...You should visit JAmaica one day. We sure do have a lot of interesting places including the crocodile santury that you would appreciate.

Big up St. Lucia. ..
Those stairs at 17:11 look like the ruins of an old great house. Cool place.
@@mystery5655 Ok, I spotted the bigger ruin across the street at the end, maybe the area wasn't that swampy back then. Bless up.
Thanks for the video
Nice work i see more American crocodiles today on the North Coast than 20 years ago. Also the American croc is a salt water type and can go to other Caribbean islands. Some in Jamaica are not born here they came by sea. Bless
Thanks for this production. I had no idea this place is in St Thomas.
@@djgenius626 Alligators only in USA we in the Caribbean so we have crocodiles they two different animals. Is a John Crow a Crow?
Caymon, Alligator and Crocodile are some dangerous reptiles but still necessary .

You are so welcome
I had no clue this place was keeping these reptiles, I lift my hat off to you sir, wish you all the best

This was very informative
Glad you enjoyed it
Good job

When I was a child I remember there was a crocodile in that same water by morant Bay Park
That guy is brave
One day that 🐈 gonna go missing💔🤣🤣
I think so too🤣🤣🤣
Respect boss man
Needs 3 million subscribers.

Man like you Brave me I am not you were getting that close to the door
Excellent information if we appreciate animals more we would appreciate our fellow Jamaicans life's more, this is great great for Jamaica love it God bless this special gentleman
Seaview there are big
lots of knowledge
Indeed
Hay lil croc huhhh🤣🤣
When the mouth open is to control there temperature
Very knowledgeable. I commend you Sir.
He going to need taller fences, if I'm not mistaken, crocodiles can climb as well as alligators
Was thinking the same
I born and grow in Jamaica I’m a adult now I went to portmore and go to the Helshier beach first site a crocodile for the first time 2021 it was very big I glad to see one but never want to go close one.
It was my first time being so close to crocodiles and I was terrified but after a while it felt like nothing once I understood how they behave
These reptiles are the ultimate survivors from the dinosaur era. They’re potentially dangerous to humans but not as aggressive as some other species like the African nile crocodile and the Australian salt water crocodiles. But they hold some significance to the island as They’re on the crest of the coatof arms
That's very true
Don’t mind where they came fr Africa America salt water or fresh, crocodiles or reptiles that should not be looked at lightly not even a blind one
@@roneyreal proceeds to do death twirl
Crocodile's 🐊 in good health wile I'm here can't even afford half pound of chicken back
Talk trute

Thank you did this video btw

I really like what that man is doing with the crocodile
There was alot in Culloden district white house Westmoreland, when they build that sandals resort, they destroyed their habitat,, where did they put those?
Monster size crocs land of my birth🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
That house must be the safest place to live in Jamaica
Talk chute

Ty
Thankyou for a very informative video. I hope the English gentleman is training jamaicans to take over the sanctuary when he reires.
You're welcome
Norman Legister: this man is a born Jamaican, he said he has been to England, but he's not an English man. No English man can speak with that authentic Jamaican accent.
@R Tee Well He Isn't A Black Jamaican Either!🇯🇲😂
This place is one of the place in Jamaica weh theif naa a go theif nothing.
🤣🤣🤣
One person I trust is God the almighty
No need for the ominous sounds, this is a good thing
Holland Bay e thing deh
@8:20 boy tink crocodile bite him 😂😂😂
When I was a child I met this guy in Serge island, he a daughter. Alligator man.
I probably missed this, but do you know how these crocs are fed?
Were you the one who operated " Swamp Safari " in Falmouth Trelawny?
This man need to come to westmoreland and ask for a place name cairo or go down by big bridge crocodile like madness is down there they even walk across the road when them ready
They walk from yallas pon to the sea morning noon and night, yallas in st thomas. All animals attack when they sense fear or them hungry!
Keep these things far and few in between. Too many unaware people in Jamaica plus kids playing in water ways.
14:40 man them a stay far 😊😊😊😂
Have to give yourself a head start 😅😅😅
You guys really brave!!!
Trust me when we're trembling the whole time we where there😅😅😅
8:23 man frighten yf🤣
12ft 700lbs and he is a nice croc wow!!!🤔🤣🤣🤣
That's what he said 🤣🤣🤣
There are bigger crocodile in Westmoreland in the Cabarita River and swamp
Hopefully we get more programs with our snakes in Jamaica too 😭
Well done to this man. We need more people like you to carry on this much dedication and bravery.
And they eat iguana here in Costa Rica so much wow
What does it taste like? Please don't say chicken 🤣
I just want to know the guy talking race I'm amazed he got a real Jamaican accent
Music had me thinking someone could lose a limb at any point
That was the idea😁
Let these animal thief go & steal these one, good job to improve the wild life of this beautiful country, well done SIR.
I like this video very informative, I would work there.
Thank you He aways said that he needs more helper
@@paarieeastsidemedia you're welcome, fortunately I am overseas.
