Resurfaced video shows Dr. Chris Brown’s heroic act as he saves a crocodile from lifelong toothache
Fans are going crazy after a video has surfaced showing Dr. Chris Brown shows as he saves a crocodile from a lifelong toothache
Social media users were sent into a frenzy on Sunday after images surfaced of famed veterinarian Dr. Chris Brown performing dental surgery on an injured crocodile.
The video was shared to Reddit and shows Chris, 44, visiting the Billabong Sanctuary in QLD to remove three ingrown teeth that caused the reptile pain.
The footage is from a 2021 episode of Bondi Vet and Chris tells viewers the matter requires “serious crocodile tooth excavation” to rectify.
His team then straps Riley the crocodile into a safety harness and Chris gets to work removing the painful tooth fragments from the reptile’s mouth.
Fortunately, Chris’s hard work makes the surgery a success and the team returns a now pain-free Riley to the water.

Reddit users were amazed at the sheer courage Chris showed in the video and were quick to praise him.
“Steve Irwin would certainly be proud,” gushed one fan and another wrote, “This is exactly why Australians are some of the bravest people alive.”
Earlier this month, the Newcastle native told the Stellar podcast Something to talk about that he prefers not to open his love life to public scrutiny.

“The challenge is that it’s hard enough to meet the right person anyway,” said the 44-year-old.
“That extra layer of speculation and interest… once you’re in a relationship it’s easy, but meeting that person in the beginning is really hard.”
Chris said media speculation about his romantic interests is “funny” for him, but could be a lot for his loved ones.

“If you’ve been through that like I have, you see the funny side. But for someone new to that, it’s a lot to take on board for what could have been a date,” he said.
When it comes to looking for love on television, Chris disproved rumors that he would one day appear on The Bachelor.
“The idea of trying to meet someone with — you know, conservatively — 10 cameras and about 120 crew members, I’d probably struggle with that,” he said, adding that “just the thought” of putting someone on camera repeatedly kisses, ‘makes my skin crawl.’
Chris is believed to be in a relationship with model Brooke Meredith, but the pair are rarely seen together in public.
Fortunately, Chris’s hard work ensures that the surgery is a success and the team returns a now pain-free Riley to the water.
