Overview

Just over four years ago, Ben Christie was a senior at Baylor University studying professional selling and had a job lined up at Oracle in Austin. Now, he runs The Urban Rescue Ranch, a farm sanctuary and wildlife rescue in Waco, Texas with dozens of wild animals ranging from kangaroos to emus to capybaras. Online, he creates half-comedic, half-educational videos featuring the different animals on the farm. He has amassed millions of followers and hundreds of millions of views across his TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram pages. He is continuing to grow both his following and rescue capabilities.
