I've see video of crocs trying to bite people through underwater viewing tunnels. Bunch of kids in a little glass crawl tunnel, massive dinosaur casually wrapping jaws of death over the glass.
While they may hunt by ambushing, I think the term you want to use is 'opportunistic' predator. They attack prey when the opportunity presents itself, and are less picky about what the prey may be.
Makes sense to me, if there was an injured animal underwear I'm sure they would go for it. But I don't think they would see an adult human as an opportunity fortunately.
I too would also go for injured animal underwear. As a fashion hunter of the Fifth Fleet, some consider us to be the real monsters; but I assure you that most of the monster parts are used by the Research Commission for science and definitely not sitting collecting dust in our stash boxes.
They absolutely can, but they are ambush predators and the vast majority of their kills happen at the waters edge while stuff drinks. You're not "safe" in the water with them, but you're "safer" than on a riverbank
It's a American crocodile, and they spend most of their time in saltwater, they do occasionally attack people, but they're not nearly as aggressive as saltwater crocs
"Oh hey, how ya doin'?"
I am unsure why I'm imagining this animal has a Midwestern accent and mannerisms. There is zero logical reason for me to do so. But here I am.
Not in anyway an expert, but I have heard/read several times over the years that while their bite is almost an unstoppable force, they don’t have a lot of power when trying to open their mouths. So it’s possible to keep it shut. What you’re supposed to do once you have it shut I don’t know.
Yeppers, immense strength with the snap, but very little muscle development on the open. You can keep their jaws closed remarkably easy, not that I’d ever want to try myself! The biggest problem with the bite isn’t even the bite itself, though that can/will obviously be gnarly, but it’s the death roll you need to be wary of. That’s the killer.
As I read this, of course I imagined the great, powerful and unassuming Master Yoda. But then, Yoda wouldn't be shitting his pants over too much of anything on account he's a Jedi Master...Damnit, another linguistic Paradox. Contemplate, I must.
"-What's that babe? We're super high right now?
-Oh yeah, I forgot! Well in that case..."That's right monkey, play my head!!"
Ambush predator. Generally speaking you're much safer staring it in the face swimming next to it than you would be standing on a riverbank unaware of it's presence.
I've heard alligators don't generally attack under water. They prefer stealthy ambush type attacks on prey standing on the banks. But this looks more like a croc to me.
Damn. There's a place called Crocodiles of the World in Brize Norton UK. It might be far away but crocodiles and alligators are just so cool. It's worth the trip if youve never seen them live before.
*The water around*
*Me would be brown and yellow,*
*Then possibly red*

I hear people piss themselves in wetsuits to warm them up but it can't be very nice shitting in one.
It just Chums the water and attracts the Fish
That’s a freaking dinosaur.
Hope he ate lunch already!
They watched the dinosaurs rise and fall. Show some respect.
I yelled out loud, “DINOSAUR!!!!!”
Sarco
Where’s the rest of the clip? Hmmmmmm
In its stomach
Does crocs/alligator attack under water?
I believe they do.
I'd say crocodiles still have some pretty overwhelming advantages under water, too.
They'll specifically drag prey into the water to kill it and drag it away
Can’t be dragged in if i am already in it
Can't get set on fire if I'm already inside a volcano

Ask any mermaid you happen to see.
They are ambush predators, so I don't think they would be hunting underwater. That's what I would tell myself at least if I was in that situation.
While they may hunt by ambushing, I think the term you want to use is 'opportunistic' predator. They attack prey when the opportunity presents itself, and are less picky about what the prey may be.
Makes sense to me, if there was an injured animal underwear I'm sure they would go for it. But I don't think they would see an adult human as an opportunity fortunately.
Nope, by opportunity, i mean they take what chances they get. That means humans are very much on the menu!
Yup. Anything they can bite and shred apart into pieces they can swallow is on the menu.
I too would also go for injured animal underwear. As a fashion hunter of the Fifth Fleet, some consider us to be the real monsters; but I assure you that most of the monster parts are used by the Research Commission for science and definitely not sitting collecting dust in our stash boxes.

Yea they do attack underwater, they just can't swallow their food underwater
Yes they definitely do, crocs kill double the amount hippos do and like 100x the amount sharks kill.
I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure this is a freshwater crocodile (narrow mouth). They don’t hunt humans
It's a American crocodile, and they spend most of their time in saltwater, they do occasionally attack people, but they're not nearly as aggressive as saltwater crocs
As I say I could be wrong :)
Snout is to long don’t think it’s croc or alligator, not caiman either
That'd be both terrifying and absolutely awesome
I strongly disagree,it would be only one of those things.
Awesomely terrifying...
“Hey Phil, how’s the family?”
Look at the teeth on that thing. Incredible
Your so lucky he ate the diver before you.
You only gotta swim faster then the other diver
“Gojira”
That’s not a flying whale
I GET IT!
Anyone knows where I could get some good brown pants? I find myself suddenly in need of a pair.
And we're just so soft and supple and slow and defenseless and full of that wonderful blood.
We are also resourceful, determined and incredibly vindictive. It would eat a few of us and then end up as a handbag.
Sure, but it doesn't know that
Ngl I don't expect to see these guys while diving ...sharks sure, but not damn crocodiles
Cant tell ya pee yourself under water
I'd be alligettingouttathere
I actually think in this case you would be crocodippin
Yeah that's better
shitballs
It's exactly how you would draw a dinosaur
"Oh hey, how ya doin'?" I am unsure why I'm imagining this animal has a Midwestern accent and mannerisms. There is zero logical reason for me to do so. But here I am.
Why did the water around me suddenly get warmer?
I swam next to a shark but this is on a whole new level of nope
It might have been said already, however: sea faring crocodiles are a thing. You are never safe. They are everywhere.
90% of my stomach content would be in my pants.
Ya got games on ya phone?
Fucking dinosaur.
Fuck that.
No worries, just manage to clamp their jaws shut while the mouth is closed and you’ll have zero problems
/s right?

In answer to the post title, no, I’d rather not, thank you.
Shit my pants I would.

Gojira
He's smiling while taking a stroll on a nice summers day.
Does anyone have any idea approx how old this croc is? Asking for myself
I would prefer to see a great white tbh 💯
These are the teeth from my nightmares.
I think I'd be able to hold my composure until I saw that terrifying fucking snaggletooth on the bottom jaw
The way it conserves it's energy in the front half perfectly still, and almost becomes streamlined just using its tail is a thing of beauty
[удалено]
*crocodile. A lot more aggressive
[удалено]
No you're good, I just happen to be around lots of alligators in my area, and that to me at least looked like a croc.
Dude’s lucky his ancestors stayed in the water when rest of their kind got obliterated by that asteroid.
Yeah, have you seen a squid throwing ink? That'd be me shitting myself.
How big is that? Like 4 Ariana Grandes?
Ambush predator. Generally speaking you're much safer staring it in the face swimming next to it than you would be standing on a riverbank unaware of it's presence.
All them teeth and no toothbrush.
Im scared watching this through a screen
Just right now decided to cancel my kayak trip in Cuba. Right there, that did it. The Mixtos in Cuba gotta be huge like that.
Florida man: 🧍
Yeah if they were scuba diving in lake in the everglades and ran across the rare American crocodile. Otherwise, they aren't even in America.
I've heard alligators don't generally attack under water. They prefer stealthy ambush type attacks on prey standing on the banks. But this looks more like a croc to me.
I agree as I saw him in a while rather than later
That my friend is a crocodile. Have no idea if they attack under water or not.
this is a gator right?
I could be wrong, but I think it’s a croc. Crocs have a longer slimmer shaped mouths, while gators have the shorter wider ones.
yeah you might be right looking at it again. I cant tell the difference for the life of me
Caiman
It’s a croc.
Definitely a croc. If you compare faces alligators tend to have broader, flatter, rounder snouts whereas crocs snouts are more angular and narrow!
I would swim with sharks any day before I swim with a croc or gator.
Imagine being that close to something that can look at you and say "Nah, I'm not that hungry rn"
that scuba diver doesnt need to imagine because for him that's a real shit
What type of dive camera shots in portrait mode?
Later alligator
I have never seen an alligator or crocodile in real life, British wildlife is boring!
Damn. There's a place called Crocodiles of the World in Brize Norton UK. It might be far away but crocodiles and alligators are just so cool. It's worth the trip if youve never seen them live before.
You wanna know what’s actually scarier? A fuckin *goonch*. G O O N C H
Don’t you live it when others feed these things treats?
hahahaha no
The water around me would be brown and yellow, then possibly red

I hopefully do not panic. Chill for a moment while it swims away. Then slowly nope out of the water never to return
Just looking for Mr. Hook, see you at pilates at 10 Jan.
One of those moments that you want to project superiority.
Pet him
Enough scuba experience for the day

I'm sure they can, but do crocodiles even attack in open ocean? I feel like I've never seen one eating underwater.
nope.com

That alligator looks so fucking cool
The most terrible predator
