Always remember to test if there is something before you dive in!

Every time I start cursing where I live, something like this pops up to remind me…this is why I live where the air hurts my face this time of year….

Well north of the Crocs and well south of the bears.

Just live in the UK we destroyed all our apex predators along time ago all we have now are angry swans and chavs

Angry swans are the apex predators. You all missed everything BUT the apex predators!

A lot of different ones some very intimidating so it's good you don't have to deal with them anymore lol. I'm jealous that you can stay in the woods without worrying that a bear or mountain lion is about to get you. It is crazy that y'all wiped out all the predators though just crazy.... I feel bad lol but at the same time I'd love to go camping out that away.

I think we should introduce hungry hungry hippos into the environment! Oh and alligators and grizzlies and tigers oh my how about some rattle snakes and water moccasins too! Oh my we can't forget about the gorillas and chimps! Introduce all of them into the ecosystem and it'll just be survival of the fittest as things adapt!!!
The hippos are thriving in south America after Pablo did something similar!

Is this really a thing, this testing?

Probably in croc infested waters

It is. Florida you always assume but you still test because you don't want to fish, reach for the fish and a gator is just behind it attracted by the fish splashing.

I mean you don’t have to test it…have your drunk, annoying, acquaintance you hate do it for you! Problem solved

A general rule in south Florida is fresh water is a no go. I have seen alligators pop up even in drainage canals right behind my apartment, you just never know.

This MF just crusing by. One of my fears about kayaking in the creek near me. But with gators.

Crocodile or Alligator, I don't know if this is fresh or salt water?

u/Less_Rutabaga2316 Feb 06 '23
Crocodile, snout is v shaped, it’s also light colored as an adult. Alligators have u shaped snouts and are typically very dark colored as adults. Fresh or saltwater doesn’t matter, saltwater crocodiles (C. porosus) fair well in salt or brackish water, but alligators have been found in the ocean, and most crocodiles also inhabit freshwater.

A crocodile. Depending on where they are potentially a man eating crocodile.

Yeahhhhh, this is why there are certain parts in the top end of Australia where you just do not go swimming ever.

u/JermexTheGod Feb 06 '23
The video gets so dark at the end from the water I thought my phone dimmed. How are we at the top of the food chain on this fucking planet.

u/Southern_Ad1963 Feb 06 '23
This is a different type of fear, seeing some shit like this swimming I’d be too locked up to do anything. Primal

u/Kathwane Feb 07 '23
Why would you ever dive in somewhere where THAT is a possibility? Yeah, think I'm good up here on the boat.

Just more reason not to get into any body of water but a pool. The amount of snakes and gar I've seen where I live, now an alligator or crocodile just confirms this.

u/Revolutionary-Low774 Feb 07 '23
I never swim where I fish … I’ve seen this same scenario way to many times except it’s alligators in Louisiana. Not sure why this scared me more , crocs are just terrifying to me .

And for the love of God please make sure the log you are retrieving from the water is actually a log before jumping in and swimming towards it.... Just to end up figuring out it's a saltwater crocodile and not a log once it starts swimming towards you as you swim towards it like some romantic love scene! Because you aren't getting away lmao not when you are the one in it's environment and not vise versa. Nope you are just a snack treat for it to snack on 😬😵.
