despite remaining mostly unchanged for many millions of years, they are pretty bad at killing stuff. not sure why there are so many still around
Yeah I guess that's part of the problem, yesterday I saw a Tiktok of a guy running around grabbing all sort of wildlife from snakes, deers, turtles and more relevantly alligators and it didn't seem like some human eating machine. But it wasn't anywhere close the size of the one from the cheetah video
The saltwater crocodile is the largest living reptile. Males can grow up to a weight of 1,000–1,500 kg (2,200–3,300 lb) and a length of 6 m (20 ft), rarely exceeding 6.3 m (21 ft).
They don't nibble and release. They bite your leg? They hold on, death roll, and you either get your entire leg torn off and bleed to death almost immediately, or you drown, no option C.Depends on what they bite no? If it gets my leg or something it'd hurt like hell but not kill me. If it gets my neck or something sure but I meant more so a limb.
My imagination of a fight with a rat would be:
I think I could 1v1 a shrimp.
I think I could 1v1 a shrimp.
Although it might depend on the kind of shrimp.
I feel like it being a fight implies the rat isn't running away. But fuck it, you're in an arena with no escape until one of you are dead. I would just step on the rat, it might take some attempts and chasing, but I'm winning.Well, where are we fighting the rat? I'm 100% sure a rat wouldn't beat me, I don't think I could beat one either. I'd just scurry off somewhere as soon as it felt threatened, unless there was no way out.
Look what it can do to bones. Will snap you in half in seconds.

As a rule of thumb, I don't mess with wild animals. I really don't mess with wild animals close to my weight. And I really, really, really don't mess with animals, wild or otherwise, three or four times my weight.

If this approaches you, it feels like it could hardly do any damage. Just manage to stay away from its mouth, jump on top of it or something and problem solved? I promise I'm not trying to sound like a "I could kill a bear" dumbass but I don't understand how these can be threatful to humans. Am I missing something?
One bite is enough to completely remove an arm or leg, and that's if you're lucky. Hopefully it'll take the leg as its meal and there are folks nearby who can help you with a tournquet. If it grabs you and you're going along for the ride, there's really nothin you can do. Gators will roll even on land. You'd get rolled under an animal that weighs as much as a car repeatedly until your body starts coming apart.What? They don't look nearly that fast. That's pretty surprising.
About the jaws, I remember reading some time ago that the jaws are powerful but only in the close direction so a human can easily keep them shut. Worst case scenario they get one bite maybe.
Walk it off.
You have to wonder if any of these people had the foresight to offer a leg first.Just something to consider:

No, if it gets your leg, you're dead. If it gets your arm, you're dead. If it closes its jaws on any part of you, it has you. Their bite force is enormous, so you won't be getting free of the jaws. You'll either be dragged underwater to drown, or they'll death roll with whatever part of you it's got a hold of and tear you asunder, or both at once. I don't think you're going to be boxing with them with your arm torn off.Depends on what they bite no? If it gets my leg or something it'd hurt like hell but not kill me.

Are you talking about the dude looking for the 20 ft anaconda in the everglades?Yeah I guess that's part of the problem, yesterday I saw a Tiktok of a guy running around grabbing all sort of wildlife from snakes, deers, turtles and more relevantly alligators and it didn't seem like some human eating machine.

Probably legitimately the best reaction tbhIf a crocodile started trying to eat me I would simply put on my airpods and pretend I can't hear it and keep walking
This fucking ended me holy shit HahahahahaLife is not a turn based RPG. You don't take 5 HP damage and then you can click Flee.
Crocodile uses YOU FUCKING DIE. It's super effective!
They sneak up people and animals that are near water.
