The strength of the immune system of these animals drinking out of the waterhole. We would probably get seriously ill or even die drinking out of it.

[@dla89240]

It's not that dirty

[@jaker3151]

@@dla89240 The water is stagnant not free-flowing. The crocodiles and other animals defecate and urinate in the water. The crocodiles drag their kills into the water, so there will be blood and decaying meat in there. There will be mosquito larvae and other bugs in the water too. And during the dry season the waterhole steady shrinks and the concentration of all that nasty stuff increases.

[@DarkVoidIII]

I was walking along a path and about to cross a bridge. A huge female crocodile spots me and climbs up the embankment to get closer to me. As it comes to a stop, a Gannet makes a landing next to it. The crocodile promptly opens it's jaws, swings about a foot to it's right, clamps down on the unfortunate Gannet, and with just 2 bites and some crunching noises later, the Gannet is dead and disappearing down the croc's mouth. That Gannet had no idea that crocodile was there, and it promptly took the Gannet by surprise. Crocodiles don't distinguish, if a bird gets close enough to be food, they will take it. I didn't have my mobile phone out at the time or that could have been the craziest crocodile hunting video on KZbin! I kept going, not stopping to care what the crocodile was going to target for it's next meal! This all happened within four seconds at least it seemed like it. Gannet lands, snap crunch snap crunch, and it's gone.

[@nathancomixproductions466]

200 million years? That's as far back as the Early Jurassic!

[@negativeindustrial]

The crocodilian form predates the dinosaur, as does the shark. Both species predated and then outlasted the dinosaurs and the extinction event that wiped them out.

[@jessejarmon2100]

And the claim is completely FALSE. Pseudosuchia (crocs and their relatives) used to be FAR MORE diverse than what we have now. There used to be dinosaur-mimicking crocs, mammal-like crocs (hell, some were converging on cats, dogs, and RATS of all things), whale-like and dolphine-like crocs, etc, etc. Even up to within the past few thousand years there were still full-on terrestrial crocs. And now all we're left with are the generic, comparatively boring semi-aquatic ambush predators most people are now familiar with, which has left us pretty biased in how we view this absolutely amazing clade. It's honestly rather sad.

[@edmondantes4338]

​@@jessejarmon2100 I think their claim was that the shape of the semiaquatic ambush predator is what hasn't changed in hundreds of millions of years. It was already perfect back then.

Read M. M. Kaye's memoirs. In one of them, she describes a hunt for a mugger in India during a Christmas hunting camp in either the teens or the twenties of the 20th century, about 100 years ago. The books are: "The Sun In the Morning," "Golden Afternoon," and "Enchanted Evening." They cover her life from 1908 - 1943.

Quite possibly, although crocs love to sunbake. There's a place in Australia's Northern Territory called the Daly River and a drone was sent along its sand banks to do a bit of a croc count while they were all sunning themselves - so many it's scary! (You might find it here on YT.)

[@Auroraeevee-m1q]

I saw a documentary about American alligators that showed a gator lurking near water birds building nests. The gator had some twigs balanced on his head, and the narrator said that it was trying to camouflage itself while attracting birds. Apparently, crocodilians are smarter than we originally thought.
