That's a fucken crocodile, and it will rip your fucking arm off, stuff your soon to be corpse under a nearby submerged rock, and presumably attempt to procreate with your flailing dismembered torso before hastily consuming your bloated corpse, lest the meat be poached by the sharks.
Alligators.. like Australia is playing around with toy crocodiles..
The only way to save yourself is to recite the second verse of the national anthem. No one's ever done it, but it's supposed to be possible.
I thought you must be exaggerating and there are both but I looked it up and no, there's no alligators, only crocodiles! Alligators are only in US and China.
You know those videos where guys put their hands in the mouth of alligators because there is very specific spots you can be without triggering their bite reflex?
You can’t do that with a saltwater croc. They are aggressive killing machines.
There is a saying in parts of Australia that goes along the lines of “never fish in the same place twice” in reference to that fact that if you keep using the same fishing spot over and over for a period of time and a big saltwater croc happens to notice. He might just decide to start hunting you or set up an ambush.
No way. I live in Ontario and there's literally no crocs or sharks in our freshwater lakes (thank God). So I had no idea that alligators could be docile like that, or that they differed so much from crocs.
I feel the same way but about your bears. The thought of not being the biggest land predator in my environment is alien and scary to me.
The water makes sense to me because it’s not my natural environment. But things that can literally eat you walking around on the land? Terrifying.
It’s funny what things are normal vs abnormal to us.
On that same note even though it snows in some parts of Australia I’ve never actually seen it in person. You wouldn’t even think twice about seeing snow.
I think you would love snow! The first few times😆. As for bears I've only seen them in Banff. A majestic mama grizzly with her two cubs. It's more common for people farther north than Toronto, where I live.
Toronto has it's own share of raccoons, squirrels, and deer! I've only seen one dead snake tho.
In Bangladesh, where I was born, we used to have tigers, elephants, reindeer. Sadly a lot of these animals are quite endangered and of course inhabit the forests only.
Anyway, come to Canada sometime. I'd love to visit AUS/NZ
We only have black bears in the eastern US. While they are much smaller, I have some nice camera footage of a few of our towns 6 (they have their own fb page) snagging my neighbors trash.
His step daughter likes to get home and put half empty fast food bags on top of the actually bagged trash.
The biggest one when we moved here was killed about 2 years later. Our current big boy we have seen since he was about 1yr old....and even when he was a skinny thing, his frame was huuuuuge.
I lived in Louisiana for a number of years, and spent a lot of time in the bayou (swamps). It was generally quite safe to swim and be submerged in gator infested waters, so long as you follow certain common sense rules.
Brazil is surrounded by alligators, and we have a terribly frightening species, the Melanosuchus niger (Jacaré Açu). It grows to over 5 meters and is known for feeding on Anacondas (Eunectes murinus), as well as jaguars.
Yeah, but the estuarine/ salties in Australia are the most aggressive - The saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) is considered the most aggressive crocodile species, followed by the Nile crocodile.
Also known as the “saltie”, this crocodile is the largest reptile in the world.
A study by Charles Darwin University found that the saltwater crocodile was more aggressive than other crocodile species.
They have the strongest bite in the animal kingdom.
They are a seagoing species that prey on livestock, fish, sea turtles, sea snakes, and more.

Alligators? In Australia?
