Florida Gators are water puppies. Australian salties will hunt humans down even if you are on a beach or within their sight. There is close to zero percent chance of survival even if you as much get closer to the river to drink some water. Some of the crocs fight great white sharks.
The Aussie crocs are a nightmare and are one of the few predators to actively hunt and kill humans.
- gotocake 8y agoThe only other predator I know of that sees humans as prey most of the time is the polar bear. Sharks sometimes bite humans as a “test” and then lose interest, wolves need to be desperate or sick to hunt humans, lions and other big cats can become “man eaters” and yet it isn’t their norm. Polar bears just look at us and see a snack.
- js2 8y agoThanks. Wikipedia confirms: Of all the crocodilians, the saltwater crocodile and Nile crocodile have the strongest tendencies to treat humans as prey. The saltwater crocodile has a long history of attacking humans who unknowingly venture into its territory. As a result of its power, intimidating size and speed, survival of a direct predatory attack is unlikely if the crocodile is able to make direct contact. By contrast to the American policy of encouraging a certain degree of habitat coexistence with alligators, the only recommended policy for dealing with saltwater crocodiles is to completely avoid their habitat whenever possible, as they are exceedingly aggressive when encroached upon. Note to self: avoid crocodiles.
