Eh, I don't think they'll be much of a problem as those Burmese Pythons down there in the Glades.

Anybody remember the show Surface? I feel like that's becoming relevant

Florida desperately trying its best to one-up the post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland that is also referred to as Australia.

If dropbears ever manage to colonise the Americas, we're done.

We can just saw off Florida when it becomes a mega shithole.

Nah, Nile Crocodiles are puny compared to what Australia has.

This seems only slightly overblown seeing that the American Crocodile already lives there in numbers much greater than four.

I like the guy going "helloooo".

Telling his friend to hold his beer.

Does that mean he's a gamergator?

Damn and I have to drive through Alligator Alley to visit family. I always dread the chance of breaking down there.

Large crocodiles are terrifying.

• Unlike many other predators, large crocodiles are natural predators of Homo sapiens. Wolves, bears, sharks, lions, etc. do not normally hunt people. Tigers are more prone to it, but crocodiles? They have been gobbling up people visiting the water's edge since the dawn of our species.
• Crocodiles grow to enormous size; salties can grow to over 20 feet and 2000 pounds, and while Nile Crocodiles are smaller, they're still pretty hefty. An 800 pound male is already larger than most land predators.
• Crocodiles are numerous. Unlike many other large predators, they will happily share territory with others of their own kind, and Nile crocodiles lay dozens of eggs per clutch. They also cover a massive geographic area in Africa, Asia, and Australia.
• Crocodiles hunt at the banks of bodies of freshwater, putting them in close proximity with humans, especially in poorer areas and especially children.
• Crocodiles are ambush predators. They can sprint at a decent gait, but their main advantage while hunting is that you don't see them coming.
• Crocodiles have evolved to kill large struggling mammals with maximum efficiency. In addition to their size, they have tough hide and the strongest bite in the animal kingdom. And then there's the infamous "death roll", when they spin their prey around underwater to simultaneously disorient the victim and rip it to shreds. People often fight off shark attacks, and even big cats can be repelled. Crocs? If one grabs you and pulls you into the water, you are dead.

There is a reason crocodiles kill more people than any other large predator.

I need to get out of this damn state.

Give me wolves and bears any day over giant reptiles.

I was just going over my old threads, thinking I've posted about animals a lot over the years when I saw this post.

It needs props.

My writing partner's mom lost a good friend on a trip down the Nile. Croc took the guy right off the boat.

Yet another reason to never return to the shithole I escaped in the late 90s. Fuck Florida!
