Just because crocs love eating hominins (anthropophagus and thonbjornsini or whatever in Africa eating erectines) does not mean they are relegated to predating upon more basal forms. Also, I'd argue that even in spite of the presence of floriensis and erectus genetic input on the population(s) of South East Asia, they're also intensely admixed with derived populations in places like The Philippines. Salties and Niles can eat anyone they want if they're near the water. If saltwater crocodiles lived in Oregon you can't tell me a bunch of muh epic white people would not be absolutely owned. Crocodiles own
Seriously though, what's the point of the autistic distinction of alligator and crocodile? Why can't we just call both crocodile and be done with. Alligators can be round-snout crocodiles or something like that.
because then we would have the american crocodile and the american crocodile 2 electric crocodoo, this distinction only really matters in america, because one of the other crocodiles, either nile or saltwater, has a board mouth like an alligator
Alligators survive freezing much better than crocodiles. So if you get eaten by a giant lizard in Minnesota in winter, we don't want to round up a mob and go kill innocent crocodiles.
What are the conditions needed for a super croc like Purussaurus to appear again? Humanity's extinction, availability of large freshwater prey like giant turtles?
Global warming is bad because it's happening too fast and isn't giving living beings time to adapt. With us being living beings, hence bad.
Reptiles also have a hard time adapting to it btw
I feel that the time is coming soon. Assuming the mahamba has gone extinct. You see, with burmese pythons and american alligators, both are known for eating smaller members of each others species. Therefore, assuming size is driving one to become larger then the other, both species will become larger over time, within environmental constraint that is. There is a size limit to all things, but Homo Sapiens have made things smaller overall over time. Without them, nature can go fucking nuts.
I had no idea snakes actually killed that many people. I thought there hadn't been a snakebite death in Australia in years since antivenom became common, and I'd expect most deaths to happen there, if anywhere.
It's India (and other SEA countries)
Australian snakes, as venomous as they are, are not large and would rather flee than bite you
South-East Asia on the other hand, has >Largest Pythons, which are occasional man-eaters >Cobras, which are also large and sometimes stand their ground against humans >More than a billion third-worlders encroaching on their habitat
> Australian snakes, as venomous as they are, are not large
Most are large - rivalling Cobras in size outside of a few exceptions like Death Adders. Most dangerous snakes here reach from 1.5 - 3m (Rough Scale, Taipans, Browns, Red Bellies, Tigers, etc). Size also tends to make a snake less dangerous, not more (due to being easier to spot and making it more difficult to infiltrate into urban areas) anyway. >and would rather flee than bite you
All snakes would. Not just Australian. Though it should be noted that Brown Snakes and Taipans have been recorded chasing people. > More than a billion third-worlders encroaching on their habitat
This is the real issue.
Anon, what is that snake going to do in a 1v1 against a human? you may eventually die from the venom but that wont stop you from stomp it into a red pulp

What i mean is that the snake knows you would win and would rather slither away
Pythons, which are occasional man-eaters
The only python in the region recorded to have eaten adult humans is the reticulated python, and that comes down to the fact that everyone there, especially the women, is short as fuck. Even then, it's very rare. Python fatalities do occur a little more frequently, but again, not common. Most of the fatalities occur with venomous snakes.
, which are also large and sometimes stand their ground against humans
Sort of, but it also just comes down to your third point below, which is that these snakes are found in increasing numbers around human settlements. Also as the other anon pointed out, Russell's Viper is the biggest offender (in India at least). A lot of snake bites in India & SEA occur because these snakes are nocturnal, but Russell's viper in particular is more aggressive than other snakes. Kraits are also an issue in the region.
At the end of the day, the big issue is that everyone in those fucking countries walks around barefoot and without gloves or flashlights on hand at night. If they at least had boots and flashlights, these incidents would be cut down significantly.
>the big issue is that everyone in those fucking countries walks around barefoot and without gloves or flashlights on hand at night
The big issue is the sheer number of them.

american crocodile is a wimp compared to alligators and has had less that 15 recorded fatalities. Meanwhile chad alligator eats dogs. I get what you're saying when it comes to saltwater crocs and nile crocs but not always true.
I want to cuddle one
>where humans are significantly less intelligent on average
so israel.or africa
Do you think someone’s ever had sex with a female crocodile
probably
I only saw a WebM of that once but I can for sure say yes, they did. Don't ask me for webms because that shit was years ago and I didn't save it
ehehehehe
The shit they can casually walk off is mental

post your hook nose, garden gnome boi
I love crocs so much bros
If you filtered out all developing countries and only counted whites then crocodiles would still kill leagues more people
>love sunning
>love swimming
>love eating
>simple as
a simpler less stressful life
Seriously though, what's the point of the autistic distinction of alligator and crocodile? Why can't we just call both crocodile and be done with. Alligators can be round-snout crocodiles or something like that.
aren't alligators crocodiles already?
yes
It's funny how there are more caimans on the planet than there are the rest of the other crocodile species put together.
Nah, there are more species in the genus Crocodylus alone than there are species in the entire family of Alligatoridae.
I think its like the difference between huricanes and cyclones.

Prey and weather. The planet was much warmer back then
>The planet was much warmer back then
Imagine the smell
but muh global warming

post proof. all the predictions from inconvenient truth have been shown to ve false
Looks like a realistic minecraft mob

Sounds racist
nah u are chuddy boy
Racists are chuds
It’s racist until you realize there are also historical hominids living in scandinavia, russia, the balkans, and england.
How did that happen?
Sapiens left them alone in their frozen habitats.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWNNNNNNNNN
>what’s the difference?
About half a tonne and 1000 fatalities per year
>Rookie numbers

You don't want to know.
i think it's something with their shit that is extremely toxic

That's a gator.

Alpha reptiles you don't fuck with if you don't want to die.

theres checks and balances all over nature, anon.
Alligators can survive a freezing winter where crocodiles cannot
because they know how to chill
meant for
If im not mistaken american alligators have been known to bully american crocs.
lizard brain that only has 2 states
>hungry and on the prowl to fuck you up
>sated and wants to stay in one spot for 2 weeks
A number of papers have come out that suggest Crocodillians exhibit play behavior.
God I wish that were me
Sometimes you just know
what happens if she stops?
He eats her
It would be extremely painful.
He's a big gator
for you
You just know
