[@christopherdriscoll6628]

He does point out that, historically, there WERE ones that big. 80 million years ago there was Deinosuchus: a crocadilian that could be over 10 meters long that lived in modern day USA and Mexico. So the only thing he is pointing out as unrealistic is that it is out of place by a geological blink of the eye.

[@Jackkenway]

I agree, he commented on the hypothetical situation instead of completely dismissing it.

[@Thena_the_Grey]

Used to do a lot of field research. Bull, tiger, great white sharks, no problem. The moment we saw a salt water crocodile, we evacuated immediately. Metal tank in the water, banging like crazy.

[@immapopcha]

Sounds like you have a very fun job, are you a biologist? Would you say because of the temperament they’re more dangerous or is it because they’re willing to fight you more than the others?

[@kingcookoo]

@@immapopcha I used to do a lot of underwater (SCUBA) research in very remote areas of Indonesia, just for fun as a scientific volunteer. Salt water crocs were always around but rarely caused issues. I always dived with a spear in case I needed to give a poke. I saw one once on a dive and it was surreal. We immediately left the water and monitored it from our boat. Sharks at least are fairly docile, crocs don't think twice

[@Brandon-br7tc]

Bull, great white, oceanic whitetip, mako and tiger sharks are not docile. They’re active apex predators. They simply don’t normally view humans as prey because we don’t fit their criteria. Saltwater crocodiles on the other hand have their meals mostly made up of terrestrial animals. If you were a seal or a sea turtle, for example, you’d probably be thinking the other way around, or at least thinking neither one is a better option than the other. “Docile” is quite a stretchy word there. Edit: It may also be worth mentioning bull sharks are the only ones out of those who are somewhat designed to have a decent portion of terrestrial animals as part of their diet since they are more or less as much a shallow water predator as they are an open ocean one, and that is therefore the reason why we tend to view them as the most aggressive shark species from our perspective, and that is also why they will have the capacity to perceive you as prey without even being desperately hungry. Though this is still not to the extant of a saltwater or nile crocodile.

[@bruhbruhh8806]

⁠@@kingcookoonot sure I’d call bulls docile, the others sure, but not bullsharks.

[@tron9683]

@@Brandon-br7tc I think they meant docile in the sense that they're least likely to be a concern compared to saltwater crocs. Each of those shark species may get curious, but are rarely a threat, and will usually go on their business (yes, even bull sharks). Saltwater crocs though, they WILL actively hunt a person, just about anything they can take down is fair game to them.

[@ScottMurrayBestFamilyCars]

That stunt in Live and Let Die was done for real at a real crocodile farm by the owner dressed as Bond. The last one in that sequence nicked him on the ankle and he barely escaped with his life. 10 out of 10.

[@Hankshaw47]

I do wonder if Frank thought it was fake, or if he knew about the stunt and simply didnt want people to get any ideas.

[@ARandomGuy24]

They were real but they were tied in place underwater so it isn't really realistic.

[@jacko717]

Yes, Ross Kananga was the stunt guy. The crocs feet were tied but their mouths were unrestrained. So in real life no it's almost impossible, but yes the crocs were real and Kananga made several attempts before success. I believe he was also nicked by a croc and required stitches. Surely an 8/10.

I wonder if, in Crocodile Dundee, they were trying to depict going for the quarter sized kill spot (the gap between the skull and C1 vertebrae)? With how thick the neck is, it can be hard to tell exactly where the head ends and the neck begins.

[@vippsmillennial6336]

The animal that they’re supposed to show in the Temple of Doom is the Indian Mugger crocodile. It’s the most common crocodile species found in India.

[@michaelanderson9140]

Yea, he's obviously not an expert on old world crocodilians. Many of them are communal feeders.

This was the rating video I did not know I wanted to see - thanks for this.

When I moved from Florida to Wyoming in 2000, I kinda' underestimated how much I'd miss my swamp puppy friends. Spent a lot of time in the water with them, and only once did I feel unsafe. That was when I was clearing a fouled prop on a pontoon boat one night in chest-deep water, and a big fella' (eyes were at least a foot apart) was cruising right towards me...closest thing to levitation I've ever managed!

[@heathergarnham9555]

There was a croc in Darwin Harbour that kept attacking boats, they believed it was the motor, that it sounded like a male croc bellowing a challenge.

[@crankypest2617]

I couple of things. He totally missed the most common crocodile in India the marsh or Mugger crocodile which does have a alligator like snout and attacks a lot of people in India. As to running across crocodiles like was done in Live and Let die. The stunt man really did do it and it took more than one take but in the wild in a no controlled set up I would agree.

[@hellcatdave1]

He's also far, far too underestimating about the potential aggression of alligators in the wild. This is a common thing with people who are exposed to animals, they get complacent. Alligators do kill people all the time, and they also death roll them when they want to.

​@@hellcatdave1I think he's like those people who take bee's nests out of houses. Like you see these videos and they walk into someone's garage and there is 10,000 bees. The person is wearing a t shirt and digging through the hive to find the queen. The bees stay perfectly calm

Most unrealistic thing about Lake Placid was the location of the lake being way too cold of an environment for an animal, like a croc, to survive and grow that big.

[@guillaumedormoy1599]

Great video and awesome guest !

[@TheFruityJew]

There was a case last year in QLD Australia where I believe it was a 5m or 6m saltie attacked a man’s fishing boat and got him overboard and took him. When they found his boat which was completely metal there were massive bite marks all over it and they eventually found the croc and euthanised it to find the man’s limbs. Salties are a different breed here in northern Australia

The only correction would be in reference to the Lake Placid section when he used American crocodiles for reference. That was meant to be a 30 foot Indo-Pacific crocodile that migrated (somehow) from Asia to North America.

I wish you guys would have done rogue as well. It’s my 2nd favorite Giant croc movie behind Lake Placid. And the croc was done accidentally and the behaviors are all realistic. I think that would have been his favorite if they reviewed it.

I love how Crawl, which is a movie with a more realistic scenario, got a lower realism rating than Lake Placid.

This guy tells information the way I wished I had been taught in school. "Yeah it's scary, so first be afraid, use that to fuel your caution, now here's what it can and can't do."

[@YouGuessIGuess]

Here's another fun fact for you: Louisiana has more alligators than Florida but because Florida's population is so much higher (and it's so full of tourists) almost all alligator attacks happen in Florida.

[@matthewboyd3653]

Really enjoyed this video a lot! Little surprised that when you mention crocodiles in India, that you didn't include the Mugger.

Thing with the James Bond clip is that he actually *did** run across the crocodile backs. The stunt was performed by Ross Kananga and took 4 attempts. The feet of the crocodiles were tied up, but the heads and tails were left free to make the scene look better. In one attempt he tripped and fell in the middle of the line of them and had to wait until they calmed down before extricating himself.

[@vanessagoddess1]

crocs in the NT (Australia) have bitten boats before (usually fishermen in their tinnies) and your explanation makes sense. Wish he had been able to talk about Black Water
