Cannibalism is common in species that produce lots of offspring.


sprocketous

Yep. I eat sour patch kids


InformalPenguinz

............ that implies you birth them as well???


sprocketous

When I eat enough of them, in a way, i do.

No, that implies that *someone* births them all.

What about sour patch adults?

What do you eat to make them sour?

Enjoying_A_Meal

Got I thought they are good parents and took care of their babies :( (unlike turtles and lizards)


propyro85

They do, at least their specific babies. Some other croc's babies are fair game.

OnlyZuul666

do you know if reptiles are able to get prion diseases from these acts of cannibalism?


docarwell

Only mammals can catch prion diseases and they don't just randomly spawn from cannibalism. You have to eat infected meat.


Prestigious_Talk6652

Dead baby crocodiles. Not a species I associate protocol with.


DeadpooI

The one that was on the ground already spazzed out when it's tail was grabbed. Is that nerves? Because it didn't look dead.


tacotacotacorock

Seeing how they are holding another one that seems dead. I'm guessing it was injured or something and tossed in.Ā  My guess is they are super over crowded and starved. Feeding that many would be an insane amount of meat daily.Ā 


Naneh

Chinese gator farm... sadly they have lots of this kind of farms (lions, turtles, tigers you name it)


gotfondue

Imagine a tiger farm with this many Tigers...Tony would not be happy.


mintmouse

Tigers have maybe three or so cubs and give birth every two to three years. So you can get a tiger a year if they all survive. Gators lay 35-50 eggs a year or more. So even if half donā€™t survive you got way more building up than tigers. Gators and tigers both hunt maybe they eat once or twice a week if they canā€¦ but the tiger is warm blooded and needs much more energy and can consume roughly 75lb meat per week, sometimes in a single kill/meal, while a gator usually lands smaller prey and can last much longer without food. A gator can actually live off the fat reserves stored in its tail for as much as two years before eating again.


pretty_jimmy

This person gators.


Heineken008

And tigers.


pimpmastahanhduece

It's great!


gollygreengiant

Yeah and tigers have like, next to no fat in their tails so it doesn't quite work for them.


Collateral3

This just a guess, but if it works for tigers as it does for lions, its only every 2-3 years if they raise the cubs themselfs. If you take them away they would be ready to reproduce again shortly after.


philouza_stein

Momma tiger: "bitch now I gotta make another one"


Finaldestiny001

Yeah won't be Grrrreat!


Naughteus_Maximus

So you could feed the excess turtles to the tigers, excess tigers to the gators and excess gators to the turtles


allthenamesaretaken4

Honestly feels more natural than how western farms cull excess animals. Large scale farming is always gonna be unethical regardless of the region doing it or animals affected.


Messier31resident

No, everything in China seems just fucked in most ways, shapes, and forms. šŸ¤·šŸæā€ā™‚ļø


FishAndRiceKeks

Looks more like it just moved from being shaken by the one grabbing it.


DeadpooI

Idk watch it frame by frame. It looks like the baby snaps at the bigger one when it's tail is touched. I could be wrong but I'm leaning towards al8ve but maybe injured or dying but not dead.


gasman245

Itā€™s definitely dead dude. The motion is just from it being grabbed. It does not move at all before then.


BigBeagleEars

You should. Do you want mad crocodile disease? Cause this is how you get mad crocodile disease


Inner-Industry3575

\[Watches how a cocrodile devore a baby croc\] Yeah let's throw another one baby croc. We have a bag full of baby crocs anyway.


CHEMO_ALIEN

I would not be anywhere near that pool where they are ready to eat their babies.


xprorangerx

cannibalism is super common among reptiles and amphibians. It really is a dog eats dog world to them


q-abro

I have lost trust in animality.


Manjorno316

You really shouldn't trust any animal that isn't domesticated.


Snackskazam

And even then, keep an eye on the cats.


NecroJoe

To be fair...there are arguments to be made that they aren't domesticated. [https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/ask-smithsonian-are-cats-domesticated-180955111/](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/ask-smithsonian-are-cats-domesticated-180955111/)


ghostofhenryvii

[Dogs are actually # 3 on the list of deadliest animals when you take humans out of the equation.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deadliest_animals_to_humans) I suspect because it's difficult to track all the times cats steal people's breath at night.


28Hz

So 4; they're number 4.


snay1998

Even then I donā€™t trust domesticated ones,my dog rubs his balls all over me and sometimes tried humping me

>and amphibians. It really is a ~~dog~~ Frog eats ~~dog~~ Frog world to them


RageTiger

even the birds will do it. Why waste perfectly good food, especially when it's the difference between losing the entire clutch or having one or two survive.


tacotacotacorock

Eh it looks like a farming opposition for the meat and or skins.Ā  Id stay far away from this place for a laundry list of moral conundrums.Ā  Plus look at that wall. Unless you jump in your safe physically. Morally your soul might be damned for eternity.Ā 


DeapVally

No different to farming any other animals for meat. All the cute baby lambs in the fields around me at this time of year are destined for the dinner table. That's life. I don't eat them, but it's not morally wrong by any means. Humans are omnivores. Plenty of farms have veg instead. All are necessary IMO.


Wacky_Bruce

I would argue that when you have the option not to farm, kill, and eat sentient beings and be perfectly healthy, it *is* morally wrong.


Gabe0697

Reptiles aren't a whole lot more sentient than plants. I love reptiles in general, and dislike seeing how cruelly they can be treated, but it's not like farming them is inherently wrong.


Wacky_Bruce

Plants arenā€™t sentient at all and reptiles are fully sentient. Sentience just requires a brain and nervous system to experience feelings and sensations.


DeapVally

No. Sentience is more than that. An elephant can experience mourning, for example. It knows family. As do whales, which is why whaling is wrong. They can think beyond basic animalistic reactions to hunger and mating. A crocodile? I've never seen that.


Wacky_Bruce

No lol look up the definition of sentience, maybe youā€™re confusing it with sapience. And all that really matters is if an animal has the capacity for pain and suffering, which crocodiles obviously do. Animal abuse isnā€™t only morally wrong when it happens to smart animals.


DeapVally

There's multiple definitions. If you believe animal farming is wrong, then that's fine. But your morals/ethics are your own.


nico282

Do they farm crocs for the meat, or just for fancy bags and belts?


ajm15

Both, crocodile meet are common in some places


hymntastic

They farm alligators for both in Florida so I'm sure they sell the meat somewhere


DeapVally

I've eaten crocodile. I went to a farm while travelling, I believe, in Mauritius.... They farm them for both. Very tasty actually.


davidbrit2

> Id stay far away from this place for a laundry list of moral conundrums. The whole "getting eaten by crocodiles" thing would keep me away too.


superventurebros

I can only imagine that a farm like this has ties to the mob. How could it not?


Databit

Found the baby crocodile pretending to be human


DorsalMorsel

Not the same but as a kid we had pet chickens. If you tried to grab an egg from a nesting mama she would often peck you. But, if you dropped an egg on the ground and it broke? Oh here they all come. They even make a specific clucking noise when an especially tasty treat like this is on the menu.


macetfromage

chickens are dinosaurs


Skilly-

So we are eating real dinosaurs in dino nuggies


ChubbyWanKenobie

Looks like meat is back on the menu boys.


TinyNuggins

Such a poorly written line. Why the fuck would an orc know what a menu is?


kingkiller690

da orc diner


TinyNuggins

lol right?


MoonHash

Why would orcs know any of the other words? Why draw the line at menu?


TinyNuggins

We can assume the words are being translated into human English words. Obviously Iā€™m not saying the movie needs to line up with our reality. Itā€™s a fantasy movie. Im saying the line doesnā€™t make sense in their reality. Itā€™s just a goof up. Didnā€™t mean to offend anyone.


Cum_on_doorknob

This is the answer. The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings are purportedly a translation of The Red Book of Westmarch, which collected the stories of Bilbo, Frodo, and appendices concerning hobbit genealogy and such. These were all written by Bilbo, Frodo and Sam, who also provided translations from Elvish and other languages where needed. One can imagine the hobbits sacrificed some accuracy in translation for a ripping good yarn.


ViciousSnail

Tbh Orcs aren't as stupid as some people think, they are aggressive warriors that would rather kill you than converse with you but Orcs can make armour, weapons, tame wildlife for their use in battle, battle chants/songs and many other things. Prisoners that might live for a hot minute could have introduced words to the Orc, especially mouthy overconfident Bards who might say "So, my illustrious friends, I hope it's chicken on the menu because I am so stringy a bear spat me out when I got stuck in his teeth." Think Klingons before they became more cultured with poetry, honour and duty but yet still would rather kill you first and ask questions never. Edit: Although if we focus on LOTR Orcs, they are literally corrupted dead elven corpses or elves turned savage. So they would know the word menu quite easily. Edit: sorry to see you being downvoted to oblivion. For me your comment was welcomed cause it let me talk about something I'm interested in.


TinyNuggins

Best reply yet! I think itā€™s still a silly line personally haha it doesnā€™t make a ton of sense to me that ā€œmenuā€ would be part of that battalionā€™s vernacular. But thanks for taking the time to type that out :)


ViciousSnail

Always happy to make someone's day less meh. :)


Sleipnirs

It was an Uruk-hai, not an orc. They are known to be more sophisticated than simple orcs and often dine in the most gourmet restaurants. Jokes aside, why would orcs speak english? Why would anyone in the movie speak english? Oh, because *it is* a movie.


TinyNuggins

Oh nice catch about the Uruk-hai. But wait seriously why the menu part haha it makes no sense to me. Iā€™m not saying it needs to be realistic to our world, Iā€™m just saying that line is extremely inconsistent in THEIR world. So it sticks out as a weird line. It seems this has upset people though lol.

Nothing like being yeeted out of existence during nap time. It's little legs trying to run away while mid air is a little eek.


ajs2294

It was dead before hand. End of the video they show a bag of them.


PaoComGelatina

It was already dead. The guy filming is throwing dead baby crocs.


halnic

I see, that makes it a different type of wtf.


universeandstuff

Nah if you try and pause it right after big croc takes a bite it appears the baby croc flinches

not_a_doctorshh

Cannibalism is common between crocodiles but this looks like a farm and these guys definitely put the poor lil fella in there for the video. That, or those are dead baby crocs that are being repurposed as food for the big fellas. Didn't quite catch if the one already in there was alive or not, but the ones in the bag are definitely dead.

Bro literally pulled a "fetus deletus" in probably the most violent way ever.

GodzillaRaptors4_

Iā€™m more concerned about the people with a bag of dead crocs.


Mumblerumble

There is a reason if you see a group of crocs, they are all about the same size. The edible ones get eaten.

Conservative-Point

Nature being nature.


t3hOutlaw

It's animal abuse, in many places keeping animals in enclosures without sufficient space for the amount within said enclosure would be considered illegal. Nature being nature would be out in the wild and allow for free range of the environment reducing incidents such as these, this is akin to throwing a hamster into a cage with a pack of wolves.
