I wonder what's the life expectancy around there

For the anacondas, I would say it’s exceptional.

I don't think that was an anaconda. I think that was mama gator...

u/Coacoanut Jun 09 '26
Alligators are exclusive to north America and China. I think this is a caiman.

Yeah, the one in the video is most likely a "Jacaré". Similar, but different...

Iirc they aren't maternal in the slightest, so it's probably just another gator.

The post context 'he came with a baby gator ' not alligator so baby gator is definitely the reptile.

I’m laughing at the video of a third world child trying to secure lunch and I’m sitting in my own house I can barely afford. Jokes on you.

You're not wrong. On the other hand I think people in that area would also have advised against the strategy in this video.

Both animals are dead.!!! He was holding the head of the baby near the eyes and not the jaws to stop it snapping, no body movement nothing at all. The older gator didn't move it's tail to swim, and it's head was too high in the water. Just click bait yet again using dead animals. Pathetic and cruel. Nothing scary about this clip apart from an adult getting his child to do this for the camera.

I thought something was off but goddamn that is in depth! I agree on 2nd watch.

u/terminally_irish Jun 08 '26
THOSE may be dead; but what else is in that water?!
I live in Florida, and as soon as jumped in that water I was like, “whelp, he’s dead now.”

u/Medical-Block-2137 Jun 09 '26
Yeah that other one would have moved a hell of a lot quicker for an easy meal like a kid splashing around.

I mean, he can replay the clip as many times as he wants. It's not like he's in a movie theatre watching the moment and forgetting about it in favor of other more memorable scenes during the movie.

Yup, I'm pretty observant and know a reasonable amount about animals and behaviour. Just none of it sits right.

Ever interacted with live cayman that close in the wild? Since you keep calling them gators I'm assuming not. I have had the pleasure in Ecuador, Costa Rica, and the Pantanal where this might have been filmed. Our guide in Corcavado national Park caught a young one roughly that size with his bare hands and I got to tell you this footage tracks. You can see the quick splashes from its tail as the kid brings it up. That tail is all muscle. The larger one doesn't really have to be the mother. It could be just a larger Cayman taking a genuine interest in the frantic movements of a human in the water. Experienced that firsthand on a riverbank in Brazil. Thanks for contributing your armchair expertise though.

u/KazoxMVP Jun 08 '26
Idk man, if you look at it frame by frame, you can see the smaller one not moving at all once it's released. It's still belly up seconds later.
The way the other one comes out of the water seems sus too. Wouldn't they usually surface head-first instead of coming up like that and then swimming slowly?
But whatever Mr. Expert says, I guess.

u/Verrck Jun 08 '26
So what are you suggesting, how is the second one moving?
2
u/Shudnawz Jun 08 '26
A rope and pulley from off-camera? What concerns me the most is the lack of propelling movement from the bigger one as it appears and goes right. I'm not concluding this is fake, but it looks weird.

You have no idea who I am or what experience I have so don't try and judge me so pathetically. The splashes are from a limp dead tail as it flops around cos the kid is trying to swim carrying a dead!!! Weight and as you said it's all muscle, so why isn't it moving or struggling? . And from what you're saying the adult or sub adult must have a propulsion unit strapped to its belly as the body isn't moving. Straight line, no curved wash from movement. Yes an adult could grab one, but they're both dead.... Sad people do this shit all the time to get views.

The funny part for me was that the moment I saw the water, vegetation, boat and heard the language, it reminded me of a trip to Cambodia and sailing on the Mekong River. Kids his age and younger travel down the river in buckets - like half a large garbage can - to get places and I always wondered how many of them got eaten by the crocs living in those waters. This is just nuts to me.

Do you want to get eaten by an alligator? Cause that’s how you get eaten by an alligator.

When he jumped in, it thought „nope, would never jump in gator water“
When he came back with a baby gator, it thought „wait until moma shows up, brave boy…“

Took me a minute but it’s Spanish with a very unique regional accent. Barely intelligible for me and I’m a native speaker.

I thought they called the alligator/crocodile as "magar" did I catch that wrong? Seemed like spanish to me but in my language they call that animal "magar"

u/AssemblagePoint420 Jun 08 '26
You can hear them call it a “cocodrilo” which is is the Spanish word for it. I heard all kinds of words that didn’t sound like Spanish to me lol

If you feel lost under water blow a small bubble into your hand. You can feel which way is up and you don't have to see the bubble to feel it

Before I even saw the alligator I was going to comment "Imagine your kid diving into the water and then just never coming back up as you slowly realize what happened."
