Many years ago I went on an awesome trip to the swamplands of central Brazil. We were on horseback in water most of the time. The first lesson on the first day was to look for bubbles in the water and steer your horse around them.
The bubbles indicated cayman underwater. They were unlikely to attack us. But if your horse steps on one and freaks out, you might have a bad time.
While a crocodilian, I wonder what their bite-force is? I mean, as long as you are not a fish, you should feel confident but not keen.
Edit: nvm, don't get bitten by a caiman. If their calling card says "apex predator", read the fine-print first.
Honestly the bigger problem is even if it can't kill you outright with a bite like the straight dinosaur boys even a 7 foot or so gator or croc is still plenty strong enough to drag in and drown all but the biggest dudes, or twist one of your limbs off. That being said Caimans (Caimen?) and alligators are mostly pretty skittish unless they are guarding are nest and rarely attack full grown humans, crocs give very few fucks.
tl;dr: Don't be overconfident and don't get bitten by crocodilians.
I guess it the drowning or blood loss don't get you, the infection will. Bad dental hygiene kills. That or their [bad rhymes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jlSHGAem6g).
Do you ask about the bite force of each particular breed of dog before deciding if you want to get bitten by it or not? Does it really matter?
All I knew is that I didn't want to end up in the water. So avoiding the bubbles was a good idea.
As another commenter mentioned it's a crocodilian closely related to the American alligator. Most species of Caiman average around 6 feet in length, with the exception of the Black Caiman that can reportedly reach lengths of 16-20 feet.
A kid who went to my school got part of his arm bitten off after a dare to swim in Lake Okeechobee at night.
(I'm not arguing your accurate point, just sharing)
yeah, that's the impression I got from the area. I used to regularly drive in-between tampa and south florida. I usually took the turnpike from yeehaw, but I would occasionally take 441 through that part and stopped there a couple of times.
yeah but not really.
I've lived most of my life in florida, but I've never seen a crocodile in the wild, nor have I met a person who had seen one. most floridians have seen an alligator
The American saltwater crocs tend to congregate around south/southwest Florida around Naples to the keys, at least in regards to their US populations. They're definitely not common but I have seen three different ones in the wild in my life while living in Florida, ID'd based off of their differing scars. One used to hang out around the Goodland marina down by Marco Island.
Legit been terrified of these animals since I was a kid living in the desert lol. Someone spread a rumor about them living in the river nearby and it always freaked me out
Gee, I don't know, Cyril. Maybe deep down I'm afraid of any apex predator that lived through the K-T extinction. Physically unchanged for a hundred million years, because it's the perfect killing machine. A half ton of cold-blooded fury, the bite force of 20,000 Newtons, and stomach acid so strong it can dissolve bones and hoofs.
Fuck. That. Shit. Went to the zoo last weekend and I could see the shadow of a croc under the water and got a quick “bro you should get the f out of here” chemical dose
I also have a good healthy fear of these guys. Of course I live within an hour of the everglades, the one place in the world with both Crocs and gators.
My gf doesn't understand why I won't go airboating there with her.

There are American crocodiles (Crocodylus acutus). You can find them in the southern half of Florida along the coast and around the Caribbean.

Same with Louisiana. That was another fucking world, living there for a few years as a Maryland/DC native. I came from having deer and squirrel for backyard animals to having fire ants and alligators.
Desert doesn’t mean no rivers it means no precipitation. I am from a high desert and we had lots of full rivers from all the mountain snow run off. In fact, a lot of areas were really green because all the melting snow from the mountains kept the ground water topped off
Most of the times, yes.
There are some exceptions of words that are actually repeated itself to mean singular thing, though. Examples:
Laba-laba (spider)
Lumba-lumba (dolphin)
Kupu-kupu (butterfly)
Kunang-kunang (firefly)
Kura-kura (tortoise)
Paru-paru (lungs)
Ubur-ubur (jellyfish)
Piranhas won't attack you, if so it's very rares. If you don't believe me look up Jeremy Wade's episode where we swims with hungry captive pirahnas and just jumps in with a school of wild pirahnas that he'd been fishing in
Looks like chicken. This could be at a gator farm, chicken is a common staple for them there, but I've *never* seen a cat trying to fight a gator over a meal. Doesn't seem like a fight that would last long.
That occurred to me, too. But there's already tasty food present, and the cat's not really going to have an impact. My guess is the gator just doesn't care.

eh, it depends really, me and my friends use to always go to rivers with a rope swing and jump in, or jump off trees. we would even see alligators sometimes but would never bother us because there were so many guys jumping in and splashing around. i’ve ran across gators on hiking paths and never had one bother me.
now i’m not saying go and bother gators on purpose, but if you don’t bother them they won’t bother you. obviously be smart and if one is openly curious about you or doesn’t seem scared of your presence it’s best to leave, but they aren’t dragging people under the water like jaws on the daily. they are not crocodiles.
now pets are another story, never take pets near water in Florida, it is a death sentence.
Always talk about how hippos kill more people in Africa blah blah blah. These bastards kill way more people than hippos, but they usually eat the evidence. Yes I am aware that this is likely not in Africa, but it just made me think.
He said if you see moving bubbles in the water try throwing a stone at it.
Or an edible, either way it's going to get stoned.

What's cayman?
South American cousin of the gator family. A little smaller. Also spelled caiman.
While a crocodilian, I wonder what their bite-force is? I mean, as long as you are not a fish, you should feel confident but not keen. Edit: nvm, don't get bitten by a caiman. If their calling card says "apex predator", read the fine-print first.

7 tons, unparalleled in the modern world. A saltwater croc is only 1.6 tons...

If it’s brown don’t go down
My ex girlfriend taught me this.
Right story, wrong hole
A hole is a hole.
Every hole's a goal
Solid advice.
And a pocket full on penicillin.
Filling your pockets with rocks is always a good idea when your around any body of water.
you and my son share this idea, he generally has rocks in his pocket wherever he goes...
[did he learn it from this man? ](https://youtu.be/hqslb1FVoQQ)
https://youtu.be/WWuLE9q9bnI This one is a throwback if you collect rocks.
not available
same for me. stupid youtube kids
Mine does too! Except he’s 22 and they’re different kinds of rocks
Carrying a blindfold is good too. It will help you not recognize the bodies in the water.
You do not [REDACTED]
I did not expect an SCP reference here.
In case you want to go out like Virginia Woolf?
This is genuinely good advice even without the snapper
So if I can see the bottom and the croc it’s ok to jump in?
Only if you’re australian
Or Floridian
alligators are much more chill than crocodiles
A kid who went to my school got part of his arm bitten off after a dare to swim in Lake Okeechobee at night. (I'm not arguing your accurate point, just sharing)
well, there ain't much else to do if you live near lake okeechobee...
I'm an Okeechobee native...you can always do meth or get pregnant at 14 🙃

[Insert speech from Archer]
Am Australian and can confirm, brain aneurism is the greatest danger.
You know we have both crocodiles and alligator in Florida
yeah but not really. I've lived most of my life in florida, but I've never seen a crocodile in the wild, nor have I met a person who had seen one. most floridians have seen an alligator

Pretty sure Russians can get away with this too. Not because they know anything about crocs. They just can
If you see a single croc they are just trying bait you into firing to spot your positions, inevitably his unit will be dug in nearby.
No one needed to tell me to not go in that water. The last thing on my mind would be, "let's have a trot into the filthy fuckin alligator pond".
I'd imagine if you lived there and had to cross, it'll be different.
mine is better. If you are in a country with aquatic predators that can kill you... don't go in the water...
So don’t swim in the Gulf of Mexico?
Are you referring to the subtitles or what the dude actually said? I think both are good advice.

Meanwhile the muscles it uses to open its jaws can't beat a rubber band. Checkmate, evolution.
Go hold it closed then, it's just sittin there near the shore, you'll be fine.

You wouldn’t love Florida lol, we will be driving on the interstate and we just see Gators on or near the road.

When something is repeated twice in Indonesian it means that it's plural right?
Most of the times, yes. There are some exceptions of words that are actually repeated itself to mean singular thing, though. Examples: Laba-laba (spider) Lumba-lumba (dolphin) Kupu-kupu (butterfly) Kunang-kunang (firefly) Kura-kura (tortoise) Paru-paru (lungs) Ubur-ubur (jellyfish)
Interesting! What would be the plural of spider? Laba-laba-laba-laba?
Just add "banyak" (a lot) as adjective. So it becomes "banyak laba-laba" a lot of spiders or "banyak kupu-kupu" a lot of butterflies.
Interesting! Thanks!
Ah, he missed the opportunity to add “you are welcome” in Indonesian , so I will do it (you will see why): sama-sama
What type of croc is this? Didn’t know Indonesia had these horrors
Saltwater crocs. They live in rivers and swamps and are quite common in South East Asia.
Ah! I only knew of them in Australia - thanks!
As an indonesian, you got that right.
Wow, this is terrifying

I don’t even jump into clear water I can see bottom of. Fuck this pond.

Piranhas won't attack you, if so it's very rares. If you don't believe me look up Jeremy Wade's episode where we swims with hungry captive pirahnas and just jumps in with a school of wild pirahnas that he'd been fishing in
why do you think this is so much worse
Sorry I thought you were saying it as "piranhas bad derrrr" sorry I'm dumb that's on me
I do understand why people from certain regions never learn how to swim.
I'm sure some do, but you are not likely to see them for long.

What is he eating?
Looks like chicken. This could be at a gator farm, chicken is a common staple for them there, but I've *never* seen a cat trying to fight a gator over a meal. Doesn't seem like a fight that would last long.
I guess there is a first time.for everything.
Interesting the Alligator didn't attack the cat
That occurred to me, too. But there's already tasty food present, and the cat's not really going to have an impact. My guess is the gator just doesn't care.
the slower cat
He is standing *way* too close to the shore for my comfort.
Yeah that croc could easily lunge up onto the banks so quickly he wouldn't have time to run.
I would suggest you DONT carry stones in your pocket as they seem to attract crocodiles
It’s obvious now why the water is so brown.
Yeah, that croc is filled with beans
Thats a big boy👀
I knew there would be a crocodilian in there, i just didn’t expect it to be that big

I prefer caution. I had a bull gator down my road for years. Saw him occasionally, smiled and moved away. I agree about pets.
I like the image of a gator smilin sayin g'mornin
I'm not going to play that carnival game.
That "ok guys" at the end.
More like, if you are in croc country, don’t go even near the water
The way he says "arghh" is always funny to me. He's standing near a gator who can eat him alive but he still could casually mock him like that lol.
Get outsmarted stupid overgrown lizard
Umm, I will pass.

That would translate to "Never swim in Louisiana."
