Australia man killed by a crocodile after falling into river

[Cid]

Can people stop embarrassing themselves with the hunting humans because it's developed a taste for us BS?

It's a Saltie FFS.

Do you want to go on an adventure? I have this really cool deep ocean submarine

How do we know she didn't push him ?
Also I don't understand why they kill the animal in situations like this .
It's not like it walked up in his yard and ate him.
Croc was just being a croc in his home .

That's sort of where I end up on this, I mean I feel bad for the dude but he was in the croc's territory.

Were you being sarcastic or ignorantly stupid?

Saltwater crocodile - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Of all the crocodilians, the saltwater crocodile and Nile crocodile have the strongest tendencies to treat humans as prey.[158] The saltwater crocodile has a long history of attacking humans who unknowingly venture into its territory. As a result of its power, intimidating size and speed, survival of a direct predatory attack is unlikely if the crocodile is able to make direct contact. In contrast to alligators where a degree of coexistence may be the policy, the only recommended policy for dealing with saltwater crocodiles is to completely avoid their habitat whenever possible, as they are exceedingly aggressive when encroached upon.[27]

You try living around these dinosaurs and see if they don’t start targeting you…

I'm Australian bro.

Your wikipedia bs backs my point not yours.

Eating a human isn't going to make something like a Saltie develop a taste for human flesh and start hunting us.

They're a fucking Saltie you dumb bastard.

They already hunt us. They hunt everything. They're as old as the dinosaurs.



It's like saying a cat that has only ever been fed chicken is going to develop a taste for fish if you start feeding it fish when in reality the only thing stopping it from eating fish was you not feeding it fish.

I watch a lot of National Geographic animal type shows.

There was one where two giant male lions had to cross a crocodile infested stream. They watched and waited and waited and waited trying to pick a low activity time and they made their break for it. Swimming as fast as they could, but instantly a big crock made a bee line at them and they were not going to beat him. You could see the closest lion to him watching his approach, and just as the crocodile reared its head out of the water with mouth wide open to grab, the lion actually dived under the water and under the crocodile coming up under him.

It was not a violent hit but it startled the crocodile (their eyes are closed when their mouth is open to attack to protect the eyes) and the crocodile bolted in the opposite direction thinking he was being attacked. Both lions made it the opposite shore.

I had no idea lions knew how to dive nor had the strategic knowledge to know how to counter the attack.

I cannot find that video but i think it was that, that lions maneuver that lead to this infamous finish move...

Spoiler

two lions had crossed a huge river and one of the lion's had three legs and made it to the other side

We need to start a war between them and the emu population...

 

[crabmeat]

I don't know who that is. So I'm going to assume it's an old flame...

Gosh, no.

It's some hippy that was whining about getting chomped by a gator while swimming in the Hillsborough River (Tampa, Florida).

I’ve read that they believe saltwater crocs eat hundreds of people a year in poor Southeast Asian countries that we don’t know about because they go unreported. What a terrible way to die
