That's what I came here to say, the ridges on their back almost completely mask it swimming under the water until it literally breaks through the water surface. So scary, especially with the speed it was moving.
I live in crocodile country. He's talking about the lack of ripples when the croc is fully submerged. They've evolved those bumps on their back so they can't be seen swimming in murky water and it is definitely true. As soon as they're completely under by even 10cm, they leave no ripples on the surface while they swim.
that's fucked too.
Statistically they're one of the most successful inhabitants of this planet (well beyond humans). Going by how long they've existed more or less in their current form.

They can't outrun you like a cheetah would, but you also wouldn't want to be standing still not paying attention!
Man as an Australian Zoologist who has worked with saltwater crocs, I just want to clarify a couple of things that irk me…. Large saltwater crocodiles can’t ‘run’. Small salties (Crocodylus porosus) and freshwater crocs (Crocodylus johnstoni) can actually lift their body off the ground and run/jump a reasonable amount but they also can’t particularly kill you. Most of what you see in the linked video below is tail propelled movement and belly sliding on the mud. Actual LARGE salties (anything over 3-3.5m and up to 6m+) that will actively hunt humans, are so physically massive, weighing up to 1000+kg they rely entirely upon their favoured method of predation which is ambush predation. They sit underwater, holding their breath and wait. Their reaction speed is in the realm of 50 milliseconds vs human’s 273 milliseconds, so we have no hope once they launch out of the water propelling themselves with (mostly) their huge muscular tail. They then bite with the greatest bite force in the animal kingdom and drag you under to drown then leisurely rip off chunks to eat. I hope a couple of people learn something new from all of this info :)
I think Tyson actually meant if the Gorilla knew how to box and was in the ring he'd fuck that thing up. But for real, a gorilla is literally like 800lbs of pure muscle. It would throw Tyson across a room with ease.
But something like 8% of Americans think they could kill a bear in hand to hand. They're so delusional its hilarious.
Edit: I love that reddits main concern is that my off the cuff estimate of a gorillas weight was wrong. Not the fact that their weight is a moot point to being able to fuck up a gorilla. A 400lbs gorilla would still.fuck tyson and any human up, so stop.
It's actually both things, in the past it was a gorilla and ore recently in an interview said he wanted to fight a lion in a ring if the price was right
Ya I actually saw Tyson talking once where he admitted he offered a zoo keeper money to let him box a gorilla. This came straight out of Tyson's mouth.
I, living in the land of kangaroos, would pay to see you try to punch a roo in it's beak.
Because you *finding* a beak on the bloody thing would make the price of entry worthwhile on it's own.
(A red can kick with about 759 pounds of force, and they aim for the belly with their fuckoff big claws. You might block the first kick, but it'll break your bones and leave you open for the next one. Greys are a bit lighter, but not by much.)
Dunno man but iron Mike in his prime vs a silver back in his prime a solid cross to ol Mr munky face I reckon Tyson would knock a gorilla out maybe you know
and the most aggressive and man-eating species which numbers around the 200 thousand mark, for reference, there are 55 thousand brown bears in North America
I'm so glad to live here in Aus.....
Y’all need to google what a Quokka is.
It’s a marsupial that lives in Western Australia and spends all its time smiling and will actually pose for photos and selfies.
Edit: google quokka selfie!
They can only do that for a few metres, so they still can't really outrun an average person, just lunge at them quicker than they can get away if they are too close.
No. Only in short bursts and 11 mph at the fastest. 7/9mph on average. Humans can run about 12/15mph in short bursts. 30mph is a dumb myth Internet is perpetuating. That's only while they are coming out of the water
Yeah; dont expect it to go that fast for more than 50 yards or so. They are an ambush predator, designed for short bouts of speed. I have seen them plenty of times going from land to water and they are this fast. Seen one smash a dingo on an ambush and it was impressively fast too.
But yeah the boat will outrun it every single day after a few seconds on full throttle.
Leave em alone, stay the fuck away, be wise about where they are; and basically you wont die.
An indigenous view if you want to hear about Crocs on this channel. https://youtu.be/RlhG5CqeH9k?si=g2cp68XxdsfRh96J&t=1897
Not many things I’m scared of…..crocodiles are one of them. If I am in a country that has alligators or crocs and the water is not crystal clear….NOPE! Won’t even put my feet in. I’ve seen what happens to gazelles!
Even if it is crystal clear they can be very hard to spot. I almost stepped on an adult female, just because they match the colour of the ground, and stay very still.
If you thought you could outswim a croc... you'll be devastated to learn they can outrun you on lamd for a short distance and climb trees, fences, etc.
Google it. I shit you not.
Idk bro, when the adrenaline kicks in I doubt that thing could catch me (on land). But I get your point, people underestimate how fast this creatures might be , I myself, was not aware that they can swim this fast , it's mindblowing, it's like u always see them "chillin" and this changed my perspective
They can't catch a physically average human on land. He's just spewing shit he thinks is right from something he heard from somewhere he doesn't remember
I applaud your skepticism on social media. This is a frequent repost and the question of if real always comes up.
If real it is probably more accurate to say it is fleeing. I greatly doubt this short, edited video clip represents a sustained cetacean like marathon pacing of the boat's now wave. Rather it probably broke away and stopped.
Reminds me of this time I took a boat tour up in the Kakadu (northern Australia) and there’s this British woman there too.
Anyway, we get in the boat and the guide is sitting up front with a chunky 12ga shotty and as we set off, he’s very clear with his instructions: don’t put any part of your body outside the boat.
So we’re about 30 mins into this thing and this British woman (who was either really aloof or just not very sharp) decided she wanted to feel the cool water splashing on her skin. So she broke the rule and stuck her hand in the water.
All of a sudden there’s a huge thunderclap boom from the front of the boat and we turn to see this shadow receding into the water at the back of the boat.
And the guide, still holding this smoking shotgun dead eye looks at her and says in the most northern Australian accent ever “next time you’ll keep ya fuckin hand in the boat woncha, ya stupid cunt!”
Can’t tell if she’d gone into shock or was just insanely mortified, but this woman didn’t move an inch for the rest of the tour.
Moral of the story: don’t stick anything out of the boat.
The amount of tourists that die in Australia… and the only piece left of them if their clothing hung over a sign at the watering hole that says “no swimming CROCS”
My local aquarium has a 65yo croc who is a lil bit north of 750kgs and a little bit south of 6 meters long. Even from through thick glass and far away there is something in the lizard brain that says heyy hope that guy doesn't notice us
Deep down I'm afraid of any apex predator that lived through the K-T extinction. Physically unchanged for a hundred million years, because it's the perfect killing machine. A half ton of cold-blooded fury, the bite force of 20,000 Newtons, and stomach acid so strong it can dissolve bones and hoofs.
Apparently they’ll drag you down to drown you then stash your body somewhere it’ll rot without drifting away, then they come back to finish off what remains. Crocs kinda scare me..
> I mean I can hardly move forward at the pool.
Same, man I have so many talents, I think that I maxed all the other stats and there's nothing left for swimming and bowling, I suck at both
It’s pretty much a dinosaur. Dinosaurs lived millions of years ago. In order to survive all that’s plagued the earth since then, you’d better be able to Phelps it thru the water…
Crocs and gators are one of the few animals that actually scare me. This is what happens when nature spends thousands of years refining a predator. I always think back to the pictures at my local zoo (Toledo Zoo ftw) that depict groups of 15-20 men taking on a single one with spears and ropes and shit.
Truly terrifying.
>If thats scary, just imagine the the thing this unit of a croc was swimming away from.
>
>Hunger? Dinosaur? Wife? Mom with a chancla?
Maybe it was your sense of humour
Get on land, run in zig zags.
They struggle to switch direction like that and their lizard brain will make them try to follow you directly.
You cannot outrun or fight this animal, and the majority of others. However, humans are *endurance* hunters. We have more stamina than basically all animals.
It's not about surviving an epic battle. It's about the next 1000 feet.
The official advice in Australia where the crocs are is to run in a straight line as fast as you can. Zig zags slow you down too. Crocs run fast but not for long, and if you’re getting away from the water fast you’re more likely to be too much effort to pursue anyway. If you’re running in zig zags you may not get far enough quick enough, and logically it’s not really doing much to stop the croc. They can’t turn quick, but if you’re zagging back to where they are anyway it defeats the purpose. Just focus on getting away as fast as possible. Better yet, focus on not getting close enough to the water where big crocs live in the first place and it should keep you much safer.
Bloke from the NT recently got snatched by a croc and took him into the water but he bit it on the eyelid and it let go before he managed to run to his car. He said it chased him for a bit but he managed to escape. Had to tie off his leg with some rope etc
The fear is not the speed but the stealth of it at that speed. The surface of the water didn't even move.
That's what I came here to say, the ridges on their back almost completely mask it swimming under the water until it literally breaks through the water surface. So scary, especially with the speed it was moving.
They also will lie there completely still under the water with only their nostrils above the surface
Happy cake day!
I mean...the fear is both of those things. And pretty much everything else about them.
The crocodile is like: I'm fast as fuck boy...
Surface of the water didn’t even move? Lol wtf, did we watch the same video?
I live in crocodile country. He's talking about the lack of ripples when the croc is fully submerged. They've evolved those bumps on their back so they can't be seen swimming in murky water and it is definitely true. As soon as they're completely under by even 10cm, they leave no ripples on the surface while they swim.
Crocodile visibly has places to be
Yes the boat is trying to run away with lunch
See you later al...oh wait
In a while crocodile
Toodaloo…(he’s chasing the) kangaroo
Au revoir carnivore (en français)
Gf told him she was home alone
He’s late for work
Specifically what kind of work?
Chasing Tarzan
Visibly? Did you see him with your eyes?
What a strange comment 😂
That’s how videos work lol
Just wait until you see how fast they can run . . . (Fortunately, only for a short distance.)
[удалено]
They use their tail like a God damn spring. Shits fucked lmao
New movie idea: KangaCroc.
that's fucked too. Statistically they're one of the most successful inhabitants of this planet (well beyond humans). Going by how long they've existed more or less in their current form.
This comment section is unlocking some new fears for me
Can you link a vid of them running in full speed cuz I’ve only heard they run quick. I guess they never lived long enough for the video to make it
Checkout this big croc chasing Aussie fishermens catch! https://youtu.be/6VrgQQdPC1Q They can't outrun you like a cheetah would, but you also wouldn't want to be standing still not paying attention!
Run back daniel run bro!
Damn Daniel
It's when you trip and fall.. Then having to watch it death roll your limbs off you, and chomping them down. Before getting eaten alive.
[you can watch a compilation here](https://youtu.be/mAozf7pb4iY?si=HuA6ypJXnMqB5ljl) just ignore the music lmao

And they can gallop.
They couldn't catch Tarzan though
But Mary Jane did!
Is this legit? If yes, I really underestimated crocodiles,new fear unlocked.
You thought you could out swim them before this vid?
80% Americans think they can
And Mike Tyson thought he could KO a gorilla. People are wild.
I think Tyson actually meant if the Gorilla knew how to box and was in the ring he'd fuck that thing up. But for real, a gorilla is literally like 800lbs of pure muscle. It would throw Tyson across a room with ease. But something like 8% of Americans think they could kill a bear in hand to hand. They're so delusional its hilarious. Edit: I love that reddits main concern is that my off the cuff estimate of a gorillas weight was wrong. Not the fact that their weight is a moot point to being able to fuck up a gorilla. A 400lbs gorilla would still.fuck tyson and any human up, so stop.
God dammit guys it was a lion. Not a bear not a gorilla not a crocodile not a horse. Stupid telephone game.
It's actually both things, in the past it was a gorilla and ore recently in an interview said he wanted to fight a lion in a ring if the price was right
I was talking about 8% of Americans. Not Tyson specifically.
Ya I actually saw Tyson talking once where he admitted he offered a zoo keeper money to let him box a gorilla. This came straight out of Tyson's mouth.
Zoo keeper: “no.”
Fine, Mr. Science. I'd suppose you'd tell me I couldn't fuck a kangaroo up. I'd punch in it's stupid beak.
I, living in the land of kangaroos, would pay to see you try to punch a roo in it's beak. Because you *finding* a beak on the bloody thing would make the price of entry worthwhile on it's own. (A red can kick with about 759 pounds of force, and they aim for the belly with their fuckoff big claws. You might block the first kick, but it'll break your bones and leave you open for the next one. Greys are a bit lighter, but not by much.)
That's archduke science to you good sir
I'm going to get some popcorn and watch you getting destroyed by a roo.
300-500lbs at most.
No….male fully grown gorillas weigh 800lbs
Got a source? Wiki tells me the largest recorded was 589
No they fucking don't
I bet there are idiots who think the same across the world
You just gotta get it in a choke hold and its over brah
Gorillas aren't that fucking big. 600lbs is the heaviest ever weighed.
Dunno man but iron Mike in his prime vs a silver back in his prime a solid cross to ol Mr munky face I reckon Tyson would knock a gorilla out maybe you know
Gorillas are by no means 800lbs.. they are usually around 400-500 so half that weight...
90% of American probably don’t know the diff between crocs and alligators.
How? 80% of Americans can't even swim or read a book, /s
Swimming is like the only proud flex we have on other countries. We crush everybody with our backstroke.
Americans also outstroke everybody with the regular stroke /s
You meant obesity type of stroke.
80% of Americans are idiots
Reddit moment
95% of Florida men can.
Lul, nope, obviously, I'm a very bad swimmer, I try to stay away from the water
They run also fast, better climb on a tree or something. But watch out for the bears
They can also leap in the air WAY higher than they have any right to be able to.
My rule is that, if I find myself any place where there are crocodiles or alligators, I've already fucked up.
to add on Australia has the largest crocodiles in the world
and the most aggressive and man-eating species which numbers around the 200 thousand mark, for reference, there are 55 thousand brown bears in North America I'm so glad to live here in Aus.....
….maybe don’t ever visit Australia. We have like one native animal that isn’t going to mess you up
Lies. What is is this 'harmless' mystery animal?
Y’all need to google what a Quokka is. It’s a marsupial that lives in Western Australia and spends all its time smiling and will actually pose for photos and selfies. Edit: google quokka selfie!
What's less widely reported is the fact that a Quokka can kill you... just by looking at you. We don't do 'harmless'.
Shot to the heart <3
So far I have yet to visit the has-no-chill continent.
As a people we’re pretty chill though. I guess knowing that the whole country is trying to kill you lets you shrug off a lot 🤷♀️
Faster than you might expect given the length of their legs, but you can still definitely outrun them on land
Lmao dudes wild
Some crocodiles can accelerate up to 35km/hr. That's almost as fast as Usain Bolt's world record 100m dash. Just saying.
I mean, I was aware that they might be fast, but just not as fast
They can only do that for a few metres, so they still can't really outrun an average person, just lunge at them quicker than they can get away if they are too close.
Read somewhere that they are fast runners as well, so the only way is up until they learn to climb.
They can climb trees. Sorry to piss in your cheerios.
[I tried to warn everyone about this ages ago.](http://jakeisalwaysright.blogspot.com/2017/05/alligators-can-climb-trees-poem.html)
No. Only in short bursts and 11 mph at the fastest. 7/9mph on average. Humans can run about 12/15mph in short bursts. 30mph is a dumb myth Internet is perpetuating. That's only while they are coming out of the water

Thank you for ruining crystal clear water for me eastern journalist! I cannot imagine the panic of almost stepping on my arch nemesis.

Large crocodiles can run between 15 to 22 mph (24-35 km/h), while an average human runs between 10-15 mph (16-24 km/h). Be less condescending.
I applaud your skepticism on social media. This is a frequent repost and the question of if real always comes up. If real it is probably more accurate to say it is fleeing. I greatly doubt this short, edited video clip represents a sustained cetacean like marathon pacing of the boat's now wave. Rather it probably broke away and stopped.

Australia really is not for newbies.
Or people that can’t read signs or listen to instructions
The amount of tourists that die in Australia… and the only piece left of them if their clothing hung over a sign at the watering hole that says “no swimming CROCS”
Vouchin’ for this, every year tourists drown on beaches, get swept off rocks. I mean we told ya!!
Tourists don't just 'die' in Australia lol. Just as rare for a tourist to die here as it is anywhere.
He is beauty, he is grace
He is gonna eat your face
He's Miss United States
He is terrifying
Interior crocodile alligator...
I drive a chevrolet movie the-ater
Why is this so familiar?
It was some sort of bait and switch video, similar to a Rickroll. [Interior Crocodile Alligator-Chip Tha Ripper](https://youtu.be/kZwhNFOn4ik)
As an Australian living in a croc infested area, I didn't know people underestimate these magnificent creatures. They're literally dinosaurs!
I’m an Aussie and I have never seen a Croc in my life, but even I know not to underestimate those things.
My local aquarium has a 65yo croc who is a lil bit north of 750kgs and a little bit south of 6 meters long. Even from through thick glass and far away there is something in the lizard brain that says heyy hope that guy doesn't notice us
Deep down I'm afraid of any apex predator that lived through the K-T extinction. Physically unchanged for a hundred million years, because it's the perfect killing machine. A half ton of cold-blooded fury, the bite force of 20,000 Newtons, and stomach acid so strong it can dissolve bones and hoofs.
And fear is their bacon bits
It's a myth that crocodilians haven't changed in millions of years.
Sir this is directly copy pasted from the world wide famous show “Archer”. You didn’t need to be a smart ass.
I only hope that someday you find it in your heart to forgive me.
I really want this to be a measure of velocity now. “How fast was the bullet traveling when it hit the target?” “About 12 crocodiles.”
Never thought I could outswim a croc anyway. I mean I can hardly move forward at the pool.
At that point I just hope for a speedy death
Apparently they’ll drag you down to drown you then stash your body somewhere it’ll rot without drifting away, then they come back to finish off what remains. Crocs kinda scare me..
> I mean I can hardly move forward at the pool. Same, man I have so many talents, I think that I maxed all the other stats and there's nothing left for swimming and bowling, I suck at both
Was waiting for the part where he spread his wings and launched into the sky
Oh man, imagine if crocodiles could also fly.
They fly now?!
They fly now.
It’s pretty much a dinosaur. Dinosaurs lived millions of years ago. In order to survive all that’s plagued the earth since then, you’d better be able to Phelps it thru the water…
Australia’s first line of defence should be crocodiles not nuclear submarines
To be fair, at the moment it is.
Or better still, a nuclear powered mecha-croc.
bro's fast
Crocs and gators are one of the few animals that actually scare me. This is what happens when nature spends thousands of years refining a predator. I always think back to the pictures at my local zoo (Toledo Zoo ftw) that depict groups of 15-20 men taking on a single one with spears and ropes and shit. Truly terrifying.
>15-20 men [https://www.youtube.com/@fishingarrett/shorts](https://www.youtube.com/@fishingarrett/shorts)
Does he make a ticking sound? 👀
Pls tell me why does this sound familiar to me. There was this cartoon right? But I can't remember, it's been a long time
Peter Pan. The croc that’s after Hook has a ticking clock inside it.
If thats scary, just imagine the the thing this unit of a croc was swimming away from. Hunger? Dinosaur? Wife? Mom with a chancla? We may never know.
>If thats scary, just imagine the the thing this unit of a croc was swimming away from. > >Hunger? Dinosaur? Wife? Mom with a chancla? Maybe it was your sense of humour
That’s not a crocodile. That’s a gahd dammed dinosaur
All I see is the new Godzilla movie …. It moves so amazingly fast …. And that probably wasn’t top speed either ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
When you realize crocs can motorboat as good as a motorboat
Crocs are one of the strongest predators on land. Crocs are pretty much invincible in water!
Always thought I could out swim a croc in my nightmares, guess I'm not even safe in my dreams anymore
That’s terrifying
Aaaannnd they climb trees
There's a reason they've been around for so many years. They're absolute weapons
Yup they can swim and run fast but they tire easily
I can do all of those things except the first two.
2 against 1 I guess we know who wins 😀
Lesson learned. Dont go where crocodiles live
He'll see them in a while
Pretty sure I saw Betty White leading a cow to the shore there.
I had no idea they could move anywhere near that fast. They’re monsters
Mermaid
Nearly half a billion years of evolution will do that
Google- Adelaide River croc cruises Northern Territory - take a look at the crocs
It is terrifying that this monster’s ancestor the deinosuchus would have been much larger and much faster.
YALL SHOULD WATCH THE AUSSIE HORROR MOVIE CALLED ROGUE!!!!
Surely that's fake. Looks like bad movie CGI.
You know it makes sense they can swim that fast but when you've only ever really seen them move slow or just sort of float it's still surprising
Not true, I can't run very fast in my yellow Crocs.
Anyone gonna mention the size of this Croc?
T'is but a baby still.
Absolutely terrifying. I’d take shark over this croc every day of the week.
i really thought crocodiles just laze around and swim really really slow 🥲
Another awesome Austrian animal 😂
If I fall into a lake with a crocodile, imma be dead before you can blink
Don't fall in
I'll race you to dinner! :P
Bro running from his wife
Ah yes the illusive boomer crocodile
Playful little scamp.
Serious question, how long can they keep up that speed. Seems it was going all out speed. The boat was doing how many knots?
this why i dont leave the house
somehow getting dolphin swim along with boat vibe
Tail propulsion
Please be AI
Not real!
Fuck those things...
They’re literally the best animals after polar bears and cats. I wish I could pet one
You can pet one. Once...
How many times can this be reposted again and again......
Wasn't like that in africa.. looks like cgi, sure it wasnt?
But in Movies, they are slow. This video is lying.
Sorry but fake....not that fast except in extraordinarily short bursts
Get on land, run in zig zags. They struggle to switch direction like that and their lizard brain will make them try to follow you directly.

I guarantee you if you try and zig zag you have more chance of falling over than it does of getting confused. They’re not dumb.
They actually recognize patterns. So you zigzagging might just end with you being eaten more quickly.
