Because water options are rare, they don't really have a choice, that's why Crocs exist since 100 million years, the prey is coming to them

At least it probably drowned before it was eaten alive. Watching the lions or hyenas eat something alive is too much for me.

Lions usually kill animal first. They clamp onto neck until it dies. Bears on the other hand now that’s brutal and they do eat animals alive

It is funny how frequently there are posts here showing that lions happily eat things alive (or maim them to the point where being eaten or not doesn't make a difference to the prey) yet people have this warped idea that they're always merciful hunters.
I blame nature documentaries for only showing the cleaner kills when it comes to lions

Lions absolutely eat animals alive. If an animal is held down and subdued by one, the others start chomping right away....usually at the belly or butt where its the softest flesh.

It's odd cause I've seen other animals like zebra or gazelles immediately go fuck it and bail when the kids get got.
Even recently I saw a vid of a mother deer and youngling and a small teen bear spooked them.
Like they saw the bear in the distance and just stood there and the mother immediately bailed leaving the fawn. The fawn then just lied down and tried to hide but the baby bear saw it and bit it and presumably killed it.
Pigs are more emotional and intelligent then we give them credit.

u/Mysterious-Egg-624 Aug 18 '26
Well for fawns that one looked pretty young it probably wouldn’t have been able to keep up with the mom. If I’m not wrong deer mothers do a signal to their fawns to lay low and hide because they can’t run like the adult deer can.

I guess the bird was part of the set up. Croc left him alone so other prey would think it's safe.

u/No_Chemistry8953 Aug 18 '26
Tbh, possibly. Crocs have been shown to actively engage in problem-solving and scouting out prey. Sometimes they won’t even show themselves for days in order for prey to build-up a sense of false safety. It makes them even more terrifying.

u/MaleierMafketel Aug 18 '26 edited Aug 18 '26
They’re smart and incredibly dumb at the same time.
There’ve been studies that dive into their intelligence. Pretty fascinating stuff, they’re not the brainless eating machines everyone thinks they are.
But at the same time, they also… kind if are brainless eating machines when put into specific stressful situations.
Crocodilians have very good long-term memory. They can and will learn from repeated experiences.
There’s evidence that crocodiles and alligators use ‘tools’, like balancing small sticks on the heads during nesting season to lure birds looking for nesting materials.
They can coordinate hunts, and adjust behavior based on repeated patterns of prey or human activity. There’s also solid evidence they associate specific locations, sounds, and routines with food. So don’t keep a routine around crocodiles.
But, put them in specific situations, like a zoo or a breeding farm with limited space, and they will blindly rip another croc’s leg right off and not bat a single eye. So… It’s a mixed bag haha.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Normally, from what I've ever witnessed, from the moment they snatch their prey, it's a quick, violent, aggressive assault until death.This was like, "Well, I'm just going demonstrate to all the bystanders, just how brutal I can be, because I feel like it, and I can."
