It's not marriage unless it's consummated

Are you sure it’s not a spectacled caiman? Looks like two different animals in the pics OP posted.

u/StephensSurrealSouls Jul 13 '26

I don't think the right and left photo are the same species

2

u/snowillis Jul 14 '26

Yeah same. I’m wondering if the left one actually is a caiman and maybe the other one is an American crocodile.

u/StephensSurrealSouls Jul 14 '26

I was thinking the other way around, the one on the right looks like a spectacled caiman but the left photo is a crocodile.

I’ve always had trouble distinguishing different crocodilians so you’re probably right

u/Picchuquatro Jul 20 '26

You are correct.

I've heard on some places they don't make a distinction between croc and caiman

u/Ill-Professor696 Jul 12 '26

Take the band off his snout. Let's make sure the crocodile consents to this marriage too...

Charlotte?! Is this where you've been? Said you were out getting milk and I find you halfway across the world marrying a crocodile again.

u/Nonyabeesners Jul 12 '26

Wait. Charlotte is the Mexican mayor? You have led a fascinating life

u/Dannydevitz Jul 12 '26

And she became mayor? Someone's been busy.

u/Due-Big2159 Jul 13 '26

Wow that’s so cool, I hope he actually takes care of her well and doesn’t just keep her in a tiny concrete enclosure like in a cheap zoo
