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.
