A small hiccup along the journey.

A small obstacle along the path

That’s Cahills crossing. If you go to YouTube you can find a bunch of idiots trying to pass during high tide, when dozens of crocs are there to feed. Some vehicles get stuck and the people have to be rescued. During higher tides the crocs congregate because it’s a smorgasbord of fish traveling upstream and the road acts as a funnel, increasing the likelihood of an easy meal for the crocs. Here’s a link to show you just how many crocs attend the feast (and remember- these are just the guys and gals hanging out in the surface of the water). At the 4:30 mark he counts 35 crocs. https://youtu.be/UeV7VFm3_VE?si=F8QZ4pwmt-9ZKx74

> and the people have to be rescued. Do they though? Seems like we could have our rescuers spend their time elsewhere…

Fair point. I suppose they don’t “have” to be rescued, but since crocs are culled after killing a human it would be a shame for such a magnificent animal to be killed simply because of a human’s poor judgement. Idk how Australian authorities would handle a human death at this location. How would they know which croc to cull? Would they cull *many* in attempt to find the one? Do they choose not to cull? Any northern ausies care to chime in? I’m genuinely curious.

If the people weren’t there nobody would be in the water needing to be rescued from them. If no human being is in that area at the time the crocs are there: how is a croc going to kill, let alone bite someone?

Does a burnout in a lifted truck on top of it… No wonder they stopped evolving… Nothing can exert enough pressure

Gator: “Haha, the animal path is flooded! Perfect hunting ground. I will lurk in the water and ambush these big animals.” Also gator: “WTF is this shit!”

Saltwater crocodile. I swear nobody on Reddit can tell the difference.

I’ll admit that I can’t, but I’ll also admit that I’ve never had any reason to.

Everglade crocs. Only down south. Pretty chill for a croc honestly. Till they eat a meth head. Then it’s all downhill.

There is an American crocodile as well, but it’s not as big or as mean as an Australian saltie

Crocs and gators are all over the globe but Florida is the only place with both

Yeah, I was thinking only US at first but forgot about the ones in China and changed what I commented.

The likely hood of seeing a croc in fl is pretty rare they’re also not even close to as aggressive as salties

It might be difficult but if you see an animal this size it’s always going to be a crocodile( either a saltie or Nile)

For those who dont know: You can tell the difference between an alligator and a crocodile based on whether you see them later, or in a while.
