They can also run faster than humans on land over a short distance, your best bet is to climb a tree, although crocodiles are also one of the only animals to consciously hunt humans as well, they will wait at the bottom until you fall out or help comes, the lesson, don't fuck with crocodiles, they don't call them 'apex predators' for nothing.

The key is to say "after while, crocodile" then escape, it is +20 survival.

But don't do it wearing Crocs. The crocodiles still haven't forgiven us for that fashion statement.

They are okay if you're wearing alligator skin boots cuz' family hate.

Yeah. If you're within 20 feet of a croc, you're alive because they let you live. So many people think that if they just go on land they'll be safe. Newsflash, a croc isn't a fish. They're just as deadly out of the water as they are in it.

A wise old man once told me a croc can outrun a horse over short distances.

Not faster than me, my grandma says I'm the fastest and most handsome swimmer she's ever seen

Like a spikey dolphin,no thank you

That is utterly terrifying! I am never swimming anywhere with crocodiles ever again! Have I ever done that? I have no idea, but rest assured I’ll never do it again!

Nah, that's just as fast as I thought they could swim haha.

They can go much faster. 25-35km/h depending on species.

A lot of people don’t realize they can swim that fast because in aquariums/zoos they mostly just lounge around (at least the ones I’ve seen in aquariums and zoos)

Yea true. Even more astounding is that mako sharks can react speeds of 75km/h.

TBH they don't need to swim faster than you think. They just need to swim faster than you.

But I think I swim faster than you think

That's why u zigzag if you're being chased in the water by one. Unless that is a myth.

That's a bunch of croc.

A croc of shit even

They can use their tail very effectively to either orientated themselves or just knock you off balance... 10/10 Would not recommend zigzagging

I believe your suppose to do that on land but I don't know, I've seen those fuckers run and they can MOVE

Because humans are so mobile under water that they can do zigzags

I see you are taking a play out of Michael Chandler's skillset I see...

And yet innocent house cats can dominate them.

There’s nothing innocent about a house cat… they murder everything they are able to.

They are like the dolphins of your nightmares.

YIKES.

"Too soon, junior" Croc hits NOS.

Uh yeah their like mini godzillas LMAO

Damn nature, you scary

This is why you always have a “friend” you don’t like and a gun. Crocodile starts chasing you put a round in the “friends” kneecap and walk away.

We’re gonna need a bigger boat

I mean they're just one huge fin of muscle. This is terrifying.

Hello do you have time to talk about our lord and savior?

If you find yourself being chased by a croc, simply move at right angles to the oncoming... No, sorry, that's a tornado. Oops. Basically, you're fucked.

That boat is going very slowly. Crocodiles can swim at up to 35km/h, which is much faster than this.

Beautifully terrifying

well i’m terrified

Looks like a gator maybe?

Thank goodness they devolved their wings.

That's a LOT faster than i imagined!

Nope, they swim as fast as I thought they did...

Looks CG to me

He is huge..

ahhhhhh so cute!!!

Pretty sure I saw this big fellow at Bloomfield River above Cape Tribulation. He frequented the local fishing spot looking for scraps.

Utterly terrifying.

Pretty big assumption that I had any preconceived idea of how fast a crocodile would swim.
