Giant Crocodile FOUND - Could You Outswim Him?

Never feed or approach wild crocodiles. The team worked with permitted guides.
This week, Coyote and the gang venture across Australia's deadliest river. This waterway is home to hundreds of enormous Saltwater Crocodiles. In this episode, the team sets out to answer one big question: could a human survive a swim across a crocodile infested river? And exactly how "aggressive" are these reptiles? Time to find out!

I'm surprised nobody thought to implant a tracking chip to Dominator to pinpoint his location if he's popular with tourists. I'm mean sure it wouldn't be good to bother him 24/7, but if he was in a specific location on the river from time to time, it would be convenient to keep a record of his movements if he's as big as they say.

[@ethantan2913]

y-you gonna volunteer to try??

[@Halovian_]

@@ethantan2913they can tranquilize him

[@ArmednotTriggered]

It would be very difficult. Crocodiles are easily stressed, so catching them for anything can lead to their death. They don't do well being put under. You wouldn't be able to tag them like you would a shark. Look at Sneaky's scales. You'd bend a needle trying to get anything done.

[@CrocAdventures]

So grateful to have you out at the river, sorry we couldn’t get ya dominator nor Brutus. Hope you come again soon, will try again to get the king of the river. Ain’t no zoo sadly 🤪, definitely are a lot more active before the matting season. pretty common during June July August. -Dylan

[@wippoutmy7634]

What would happen if while the chicken is on the rod and the croc has it in his mouth, and the croc just yanks really hard and drags the whole fishing rod and the person down with it into the water, is that a possibility?

Imagine all that water vanishing, what we would see would be a nightmare there's definitely dozens of crocs down there if not more than that.

[@beazrich2.017]

The river also has extremely strong currents too. And Saltwater crocodiles are also one of the few animals on the planet that would actively hunt humans. It has happened in the past especially during WW2 when the Japanese were eaten in a large swamp on Ramree island by these large crocodiles. Most dangerous animals (excluding humans obviously), on Earth in my opinion. 1. Water Buffalo 2. Hippopotamus 3. Polar Bears 4. Saltwater Crocodiles 5. Golden Lancehead viper

[@itsjackson]

mosquitos: hold my malaria

[@jayjacobl4667]

​@@itsjackson debatable, since its the malaria doing the killing, not specifically the mosquito itself. but still a good point.

[@Rohith-fd6qu]

Water Buffalo over tiger is nuts...... Tigers have killed more than 300000 humans till date

[@jayjacobl4667]

​@@Rohith-fd6qu He probably meant cape buffalo, but even so, I'd argue tigers are more dangerous, since they're much more likely to attack humans unprovoked.

[@Goofballhero]

I’d argue polar bears are more dangerous or at least as dangerous as hippos and water buffalo. If we’re talking sheer casualty numbers that’d be different, as the vast majority of people will never be even close to polar bear territory, so the number of deaths and injury by polar bear will remain very low compared to other predators.

[@jayjacobl4667]

one of the few animals that regularly view adult humans as food, and not just due to mistaken identity or due to being unable to hunt normal prey (along with polar bears, nile crocs, komodo dragons, largest constrictor specimens, and a couple others).

[@Brandon-hg7ic]

What are the others ?

[@jayjacobl4667]

​@@Brandon-hg7ic maybe debatably some species of sharks (tiger, oceanic whitetip?), some big cats maybe (although usually its a case of the cat being unable to hunt normal prey i think?), other large crocs as well maybe too. hyenas sometimes.

I am a Canadian who took a Jumping Crock Cruise down the Adelaide in 2014 when I visited Darwin. They pick you up at your hotel early AM in the tour bus and return you at night. What a fantastic day we had. It was only around $100.00 back then. I remember they had to remind people not to rush to one side of the boat to get a better view of the crocks because we could tip over. I was frozen to my seat after that 😂😂😂😂

[@FUBARguy107]

My dad told me a story about Louisiana, USA. One night in the 70s my dad was at a bar with some coworkers. It was just across a bridge from the cheap motel they were all staying in, they were traveling railroad workers. So while at the bar, one of the men realized he left his smokes behind and went back to the motel. On his trip back he decided to wade through the water as the walk to the bridge and all was a distance. But you could literally see the bar from the motel parking lot. In the morning they were in awe at the river he had crossed. Shallow water, but infested with gators all over from shore to shore. A valuable lesson for an old Kansas boy

[@ASMRkiddo]

Coyote, I have a good idea- I think you could make a great video and drag a dead pig, or an edible manaquin across the river on a rope at the speed of a swimmer and see if it makes it to the other side? You could do this experiment at several crossing spots, to really gauge the odds?

[@wasdwasd609]

Feel like this is as good a place as any to ask, but "Do you think it would be worse to be eaten by a Crocodile, or a Bear then?" The Crocodile is going to snap limbs and eat you alive. Whereas the Bear is going to slowly eat your face while standing ontop of you. So which would be worse? At least you might asphyxiate from the Bear perhaps? I've always thought it was Bear, but I never considered Crocodile. Thoughts?

I went to Kununurra and mates that lived up there, they took me camping& barramundi fishing. They all slept whole night 20m off the bank in mosquitoe net's. Being first time up there I couldn't sleep as every time I opened eyes I could see crocodiles shining eyes looking at us. I would get up and throw a couple of rocks near it to scare it away. It was one of my longest nights ever. They told me one time a massive crocodiles about 5m came into their camp and they all got on roof of landcruiser, after 15hrs of crocodile not leaving and laying waiting they had to shoot it. Mate was so heartbroken to do this to giant of nature. They couldn't even pull it too the water for others to feed on because of size. Avagud1

As the water flooded into its lungs the Croc immediately let him go giving him enough time to swim ashore.

Did the Adelaide river a few years ago. As soon as the boats start up, the crocs start swimming towards you. They know they are getting a feed. If you fall in, you are dead. A fisherman was killed by an albino croc nicknamed Michael Jackson. He went to retrieve his stuck fishing lure. Unbeknownst to him, MJ had been stalking him for a few weeks, just waiting for him to make a mistake. The croc had to be shot.
