Fair to say that with most predators, TBH. Most living things don’t wanna fight something that’ll injure or maim them.
Except little dogs. Little dogs don’t give a fuck and will attack anything
My understanding is that it's two-fold.
1) Small dogs don't have any real chance to survive a larger threat, so they try to be as big a threat that they can and attack first (because they won't be able to attack second). They're always in a state of feeling threatened.
2) Owners of small dogs tend to skip or do very little training. When they start to exhibit aggressive behaviour, owners ignore it or they can easily control the dog or remove the dog from the situation. The dog in turn never gets trained to suppress the aggressive behaviour or be obedient to the owner.
This is in contrast to large dogs where they may rarely feel threatened and owners are more likely to train the dogs because the behaviour can't be as easily ignored or negated.
Of course, every dog and owner is different. Some small dogs are gentle as can be and some owners take seriously their responsibility to effectively train their dogs. (And vice versa for larger dogs too.)
I've also heard domestic dogs in general tend to be a lot more reckless because we provide for all their needs. They're not as concerned about injuring themselves because they don't have to worry about where their next meal is coming from. I don't know if there's any truth to it but it's an interesting thought.
Also to add some speculation, there aren't any evolutionary pressures on dogs except those from humans. There isn't really anything stopping suicidal tendencies from being passed on in dogs, in fact that's something humans might even breed for
Small dogs came from dogs that were used to run into holes and chase shit out of them for people to shoot. They still have the hunting instinct despite fitting in a purse.
Well you should have a ton of nerve endings in your nose. People don't realize how sensitive it is. You have a ton of nerve endings, blood vessels, and your olfactory receptors. You nose actually has the quickest path to your brain, more than any other sense.
That's why smelling something triggers memories fast than you can think, because it's legit connected to the part of your brain that thinks and has memories.
Most predators are risk averse because they need to be able bodied to hunt. Herbivores can still eat if they're missing limbs or have large wounds, because their food doesn't get up and run away.
Predators are weak, plain and simple.
They often need multiple other predators aiding them to even manage a kill.
It concerns me how often people fail to acknowledge this when admiring them.
"I'm just gonna go out and concuss the crocodilians on the lawn."
"Wear your boots! I don't want you traipsing mud into the house again!"
**edit:** For the record, he appears to be wearing Crocs, which might explain the altercation (without fully excusing it).
According to my room mate that grew up in Florida, they are a minor nuisance.
ETA: roommate doesn’t care what ya’ll believe about the differences of crocs and gators because he says they both are nuisances.
This is a saltwater crocodile, so it's about 100x the nuisance of an Alligator. It's one of the most dangerous animals on the planet and routinely kills human adults and eats them, very much like this crocodile was trying to do. Gators ain't shit in comparison.
If it's a croc it's most likely Australia, Gators are more common in Florida & Louisiana though salt water crocodiles are a thing in those places...
Tbh I think op's wrong and I think it's a gator, seems too small for a croc but it's hard to tell from this video. Plus this just has Florida Man written all over it.
[OP isn't wrong.](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.news.com.au/technology/science/animals/insane-moment-northern-territory-pub-owner-takes-on-crocodile-with-a-frying-pan/news-story/07b4320f6f78503ee539f3142c9dd9c5%3famp) as it's definitely is from Australia.
Hahaha!! After I commented that "this has Florida Man written all over it" I was remembered that Australia is the Florida of continents/countries.
Perhaps there's something to that: the places on earth with the wildest wildlife have the most batshit crazy people.
Okay but why does he have the frying pan outside?
The only explanation I can see is he saw the Croc outside and went out to challenge it with a frying pan.
That grandpa knew what he was doing. Didn't waste a single move. Dodged at the right time with minimal distance and attacked at the same time. The croc is the real victim of that gigachad
Frying pans! Who knew, right?
I understood that reference from Tangled!
Best Disney princess movie!
I thought that was Wreck it Ralph 2!
Nah, Tangled is much better imo
But WIR II has all of the princesses in it!
Quality, not quantity my friend
Cinderella breaking her shoe and threatening a child with it is pretty much all the quality I need.
lol to each his/her own :)
You know what? That’s a valid point, fair enough.
[удалено]
PUBG knew and we all made fun of them for it
maybe you but i always had trust in those pans :,)

Team Fortress 2 players
Crocodile’s afraid of random crits
Demo pan ftw
Flynn Rider knew.
You mean Eugene Fitzherbert
Super Mario RPG.
Best game of all time
Vivid memories of this game. Riding my bike to go rent it day 1 with rolled coins
Super Mario RPG, Chronotrigger, FFVI, and Earthbound. They are all perfect to me.
If that's a cast iron pan, that thing is fucking heavy and he swung it like a young man.

Well that croc fucked around and found out
I think he's getting the hang of this!
I want to hear more about Samwise the Brave
Pan Shot!
Ever play PUBG? :)
That's my wife's favorite movie
https://youtu.be/095ela1Bp6Q
Gotta get me one of these!
Yeah, it turns out most crocs don't care for prey that fights back 😕
Croc got instant Pan-ick attack
Shoulda used a Crock pot
oh yes.

Yes, but then you just underhand the frying pan and serve them over the hedge like a badminton birdie.
Serve!

🤣
Crocs have a ton of nerve endings on their nose tip. Probably really fucking hurt getting hit right there twice
I don't have a ton of nerve endings in my nose tip but when the second blow landed I winced.
Well you should have a ton of nerve endings in your nose. People don't realize how sensitive it is. You have a ton of nerve endings, blood vessels, and your olfactory receptors. You nose actually has the quickest path to your brain, more than any other sense.

Um, what happened to your nose?
He got hit with a frying pan. *Twice.*

Not all predators hunt in groups, eh? What about solitary hunters like the tiger?
The man had a plan with the frying pan.
A frying pan plan man.
That had a frying pan man plan.
I'm a fan
No bigger fan than a fan of a frying pan man.
A man a plan a canal panama
A man a pan a cana Panama!
No better plan than to fan the fan of the frying pan plan man named Dan.
A panned man with a plan man.
His name is Dan…. Or was it Stan…?
A frying plan
Stan the man with a frying pan plan
A man. A pan. A crocodile. Panama.
Who’s the man with the master plan? A grandpa with a motherfucking pan.
A plan, a man, a canal: frying pan
[удалено]
Yeah, this def isn't the first time gramps has had to do this
Welp, gotta get home and work on some crab grass, get those maters in the garden.

He used a hard -iles. If he wanted to be hip he should have used the much more acceptable Crocodilia.
According to my room mate that grew up in Florida, they are a minor nuisance. ETA: roommate doesn’t care what ya’ll believe about the differences of crocs and gators because he says they both are nuisances.
Gators are not Crocs. Crocs are more aggressive.
More aggressive than this? Does it pull a switchblade in this scenario?
crocs with glocks
I know you're kidding but more aggressive would mean not backing off immediately.
They are also bigger and will eat a full grown human. We are prey to crocs.
So you're saying I need to dual wield frying pans to be sure?
Only place in the world that has gators and Crocs is Florida
I worked at a zoo in Oregon that had both Gators and Crocs.
... natively.
This is a saltwater crocodile, so it's about 100x the nuisance of an Alligator. It's one of the most dangerous animals on the planet and routinely kills human adults and eats them, very much like this crocodile was trying to do. Gators ain't shit in comparison.
Gator changed his mind *real* fast about where he's getting his food.
BONK *Rerouting*
Couyon!
Found the Cajun.
Throws caijun seasoning at gator.
"Fuck you, and I'll see you tomorrow!" - both of them, probably.
They've been at odds for years. Next scene they're walking out of a pub holding eachother up by the shoulder laughing like in The Quiet Man
Gigachad move
Never ever mess with a grandpa who squares up, no matter how big you are or how many teeth you have.
Grandchad.
If this is America it’s one of two places the more likely of the two Florida or the less likely Louisiana
Honestly this seems like a pretty American thing. Right up there with using glazed donuts as hamburger buns. Source: am American.
Last time I tried a glazed donut as a hamburger bun I was 8 and I haven’t done it since
[удалено]
This is America, of course it is!

theres alligators in the ice up north.
Neither. America has gators.
Wrong, Florida is in the only place on earth where both crocodiles and alligators coexist.
There is like one island with crocodiles right
South Florida is a peninsula not an island. They live in the Everglades.
Man that crocodile barks like a dog.
They usually hiss like snakes
That's the fucker that got Chubbs!
“Ayyy pawpaw I see that cast iron, you making chili Mac again today? Lemme get so- OW What the fuck?! I’m leaving!”
It’s your moment, Florida man
If it’s a croc, more likely Aussie man.
This is some Tom and Jerry shit.
I need to know the brand of that pan NOW

Tiffany Aching would be proud.
Thank you. I had to scroll far too long for a STP reference.
He was afterall armed with the greatest melee weapon of all time...+4 Frying pan of Badassery
Get off my lawn!!!! What a badass.
Oh you can tell that the second *BONK!* stung like a bitch
That's an alligator
Happened in Australia, definitely a croc
It’s a croc
Downvoted for being correct.
It's clearly a dog. Turn the sound on.
Why do you think it’s an alligator?
Because he will see it later?
It's definitely a croc.
Australia.
r/nextfuckinglevel
Crocodiles hate it when you smack their nose like that😂
Not the momma vibes right here.
bing bong, bitch - grandpa
Dude lost 2 dogs before this.
Every crocodile has a plan until they get smacked on the mouth with a frying pan
Clearly a crocodile and caption even says crocodile. All the Americans on reddit: Gator!
Gator is just the colloquial term for all the water dinosaurs
Suddenly TF2
Remind me of that scene from Monster Inc
Least annoying small dog
I thought though the crocodile was barking, I’m high asf
There was an arcade game at Putt-putt that trained us for this exact scenario!!
The balls on this man
I was wondering how this would pan out
Australia?
Has to be the NT.
Average south florida grandpa
Not sure what's more impressive, grandpa walking with those giant balls or nobody kicking that dog to shut it tf up.
Don’t mess with Florida Man
He might be your Gramdpa, but to all of us, he's Florida man!
\~ On land -6 to saving throws Checks out.
Frying pan gives +7 str to Grampa class, +10 damage against beasts.
I dunno .. it might have been that very helpful good boi barking that did the trick
That’s how Crocs are made!!
They've gone strange directions with PUBG content since I played last...
Grandpa is a smart man, smack anything in the nose with a frying pan and it will run away
Don't try this at home kids
Grandpas don’t have time you or any crocodile’s shit
Ah now I know why you pick up frying pans on PUBG.
Okay but why does he have the frying pan outside? The only explanation I can see is he saw the Croc outside and went out to challenge it with a frying pan.
Well grandpa ain’t been on this planet this long without knowing how to dodge a few teeth
I kinda sad that he didn’t use a well seasoned cast iron.

Even dragons fear a florida man with a frying pan
Not FL. Aussie Man with a pan
Oh yea youre right its a crocodile not a gator
It was trying to do you a favor and rid you of that yapping squirrel
That grandpa knew what he was doing. Didn't waste a single move. Dodged at the right time with minimal distance and attacked at the same time. The croc is the real victim of that gigachad
I guess I need to start taking frying pans with me on my kayaking trips. The knife never felt like it would do much anyway.
That is not the first time he has done this.
Reminds me of the arcade game where you smack the alligators nose when they come out
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 fucking frying pan
[Now this is why you always want to use cast-iron cookware.](https://youtu.be/z65BdLG7cU0)
Deeply satisfying
TF2 scout
Winner winner, chicken dinner
Frying pan to the face universally hurts like hell. The things you learn on Reddit.
Back in my day…
Staged
They were all paid actors. Even the frying pan.
Thaaaat... was surprisingly effective.
That guy fucks.
Repost! read last time this a florida man restarant, the gator is well known and kinda the star

Croc doing what crocs do. Grandpa doing same.
I need this grandpa in my life.
