@@kakereiSlight correction: Tooth decay comes from certain strains of bacteria within many (but not all) people's mouths - although said bacteria does feed primarily on sugar, and then releases acidic byproducts that erode and eat through the protective enamel and eventually the tooth, causing that decay. That's why plaque build ups are alarming, since plaque is just a collection of bacteria concentrated in a single area, many of which are excreting that acidic tooth-destroying byproduct in that single spot en mass. Frequent brushing prevents the build ups and slows (but does not eliminate) decay, but over brushing can actually worsen the damage by removing the protective enamel and making one more vulnerable to the bacterial byproducts. Fun fact: It's actually pretty rare that anyone's actually born with the bacteria. Most people just receive the tooth decay-causing bacteria early from their parents or interactions with others, like sharing utensils, blowing on food to cool it, sharing water bottles, kissing, etc. That's also why if you see someone with a cavity-ridden mouth that you should be careful about kissing or sharing with them! They may have a particularly aggressive strain of decay-causing bacteria that you could absolutely catch by interacting with them. Fortunately, the gater doesn't seem to be frequenting tinder and swapping spit often, nor eating many sugars to feed them like you pointed out - lucky guy.

Fun Fact: Crocodiles experience something called "Biologically Immortality." they will continue to grow without seeming as though they've aged until they either, can't sustain the energy it takes to maintain their body anymore or they are killed by an outside source/illness. This doesn't mean they won't die from some symptoms of aging, just, that they can live for an extremely long time before those symptoms will overtake them.

Crocodiles are like lobsters in the sense that they are practically immortal. In fact, the only reason they would die is if they were genetically flawed, such as a cancer mutation or a virus or disease. Bacteria, getting killed by people or another animal. If a crocodile was fully healthy, and hypothetically never came into contact with any threat(virus, bacteria, genetic mutations, other creatures, natural disasters, lack of proper nutrition), then it could theoretically live forever. Humans get frail and wrinkly and weak as they age. But there’s no such differences between a 7 year old crocodile and a 70 year old crocodile. The only reason an old crocodile dies is because something bad happened to it.

Yes, definitely Henry would have been killed by now. Sadly, a 60 year old croc was recently euthanised in Australia because he ate a doctor. The croc was known in the area, but the bank the doctor was standing on gave way, and the crocodile ate him in front of his wife and two children. A very awful and sad story, but I think killing the crocodile was too much. After all - his lunch just fell down in front of him

That "safe zone" is actually the most UNSAFE place to be most of the time as they can whip around in the blink of an eye and absolutely hate to have their back end touched, so I have no idea why they would say that! Young crocs and gators around 5-6 feet long are generally faster and more reactive than larger ones, but I still wouldn't trust that, especially with a Nile croc! It must be him in particular.

They say he was caught in 1903, and that he was 3 years old... but we know that crocodiles take 15 years to fully grow up, he probably grew large enough to eat humans in 1900.. with that in mind, he's most likely closer to 125-130 years old than he is 120.
