Nile crocodile

They assumed it was part of a prank until they spotted blood and called police.

I went through hours of video with park security, piecing together what happened over the time the man spent in the Nile crocodile exhibit.

You can see the moment he was attacked by one of the 12-foot alligators biting his foot.

Later, you can see the man writhing in pain and trying to make a daring escape by straddling a fence.

But no, there are countless examples of venomous snakes, you know, crocodiles in a lake in, you know, California where we don't have alligators and crocodiles.

Right now there's, rumors that there are Nile crocodiles in South Florida, along with Burmese python.

Nile crocodiles are really man-eaters, right? And whether that's true or not, I don't want to spread any rumors or myths, but there are plenty of stories about escaped reptiles.

I mean, look at South Florida.

Burmese pythons, green iguanas, tagu lizards, African rock agamids, countless lizards that shouldn't be there that all escaped from someone's collection.

And soon enough, literally every continent on the planet, Antarctica included, had at least one species of Asdarkidae that was rocking a 5-meter or 16-foot wingspan.

Which, for reference, is as long as a decently-sized Nile crocodile.

And let me also point out, Asdarkids did get much bigger than even this, with genera like the Cryodrachon, Quetzalcoatlus, and Aramborgiania all sporting wingspans over 30 feet or 9 meters long.

However, while there were multiple kinds that were gigantic, and of these giants many were fairly similar to each other in size, I still think the title for the deadliest flyer of the Cretaceous is an easy one, as among the options there was an Asdarkid that was essentially the T-Rex of its family, and this would be the Hatsagopteryx.

I had a bunch of them.

They were crocodiles, but they're not Nile crocodiles.

So some genius has turned loose Nile crocodiles in the glades.

Great.

Perfect.

Perfect.

But yeah, like if you, I'd have to go back and see right now sitting here, I, you know, I could identify an alligator versus a crocodile very easily, but a Nile crocodile versus an American saltwater crocodile.

I don't know that I could do that, Scott, but great.

Great White Shark is number three.

A Nile crocodile has white forces.

La La Crocodile.

Remember when Shawn

That's a seal.

So number one is Orca with 19,000 PSI.

Number two was the Nile Crocodile with 5,000 PSI.

Number three was a Great White Shark with 4,000 PSI.

They're simply part of the risk that comes with living beside major rivers and wetlands where people and large predators share the same space.

The Nile crocodile, found across much of sub-Saharan Africa, is responsible for more fatal attacks on humans than any other crocodile species.

It doesn't hunt people exclusively, but because it's large, aggressive, highly capable in the water, and often live in areas where people depend on the river for daily activities, humans become prey by default.

Swimming, bathing, washing clothes, collecting water, fishing, or simply standing too close to the bank while warning others can be enough to put someone within striking range.
