There is NO WAY This Animal in Lake Placid Could End Up Here

In the events of Lake Placid, a creature would be located under the surface hunting moose, bears and eventually humans. But the question is how it even got there in the first place. Through a bunch of nonsense that I have come up with, I believe I have an idea. lets discuss!

If the Croc is more than 150 years old, wouldn't a traveling circus be a more plausible explanation? Something like a freak show attraction: "See the last living dinosaur! Come one, come all!" Then the thing just eats its handler and escapes into the wild, eventually finding the lake.

Thing is, none of those theories matter anymore since they did make a prequel “Lake Placid Legacy” which explained that the crocs were made in a lab elsewhere, Jurassic Park style, just that some bloke smuggled 2 into the lake at around the time the old couple found them and started feeding them.

@@1Morey As far as I recall, absolutely nowhere was that stated. It was just another Syfy flick, same as all the sequels. Syfy doesn’t really do “reboots”, they just make films that are loosely connected to one another, with some monsters occasionally having crossovers. They explicitly mention the smuggling into a Lake in Maine purely to add it into the continuity. Since then there have been zero new films, so the intent so far was that The Final Chapter is the official end of the continuity, and Legacy was a prequel, with no new continuity in development. If a different studio got the rights, sure, but this is Syfy we are talking about. They just throw a budget together and make something; they are notorious for that. They mainly just want engagement for the channel, not to create franchises in the traditional sense. These are TV movies after all, not moneymakers.

I'm guessing that "murky" you saw on the wall at that lake was a muskellunge, large predatory freshwater fish common in many waterways throughout eastern North America, concentrated around the great lakes and St. Laurence river. They're basically bigger, nastier relatives of pike, a fish you might be more familiar with. Not known to attack people much, though there have been a very small handful of incidents (3 in the last 20 years). They can do a bit of damage if they do bite you, though only really to your muscles. They certainly look pretty monstrous, but pose pretty much no threat to people. They're among the most prestigious catches a North American angler can make, so I bet whoever mounted the one you saw was really proud of it.

For good reason. Crocodiles probably only half as big as this kil thousands of people every year in Africa, India, and South East Asia. Snakes too but not as much. Then there's tigers, leopards, lions etc.. that live the swamps and jungles too who also kill many people. Camping as people do in the west in many of these places can be a death sentence. The only reason people here do it as that Europeans killed off nearly all the apex predators for agriculture. That didn't happen in other places.

Fun fact, North America used to have a species of massive alligator known as Deinosuchus that lived around the end of the Cretaceous. The eastern subspecies was around 30 feet long, weighed around 3-4 tons. The western subspecies was closer to fifty, and weighed ten tons. Why the size difference? Because the western subspecies had to deal with T.Rex.

[@bennettfender9927]

Deinosuchus was at most 40 feet and this would only be the case in particularly large individuals. Also it never encountered T.rex as it died out before T.rex evolved it did live alongside earlier Tyrannosaurs however like Daspletosaurus, Gorgosaurus, and Terataphoneous among others.

For a prehistoric theory, it couldn't be a relic population of Saltwater Crocodile (Tethys sea closed up about 50-40 million years ago, the ancestors of all Crocodylus existed by then, probably around Africa, just not Saltwater crocs as a species yet), but it could still be a new species of Crocodile, probably closest to American Crocodile, just filling the shore ambush niche.

The only thing said in jest was _"professional_ Australian" Considering the rest of the world sees Australia as one of the most dangerous places on the planet, at least when it comes to wildlife. You being an Australian (that's still alive) therefore automatically makes you an expert on wildlife. That was meant to be the joke anyways. If it came across as dismissive or rude, i apologize. It wasn't meant to. I'm not too good with text, so I can see why you'd think I'd be "taking the piss" As for the actual subject matter: You said "they can" but they'd basically have to flail around to rip the skin. But other than that they _already_ have the power to do so. So, with an increase in size and therefore mass, would it be possible to circumvent the skin issue? Considering you have real world experience with Crocs you're about as much of an expert as I expect we'll get so my question still stands, respectfully. Would a croc 5x the size of the ones you've observed be able to just cut through, assuming their bite force and mass increases relatively to the size increase?

[@123darkpassenger]

I think size plays a big part, A big enough croc could easily decapitate a human imo, especially a croc as big as the one in the movie.

[@TheArklyte]

If something ended up somewhere it doesn't belong -consult proctologist- it likely was an exotic pet that was released. There are too many such stories. And I'm happy that winters in my country are STILL cold enough not to allow something like tarantulas to proliferate😅

[@andony941]

Dude where do you live in my country temperatures can go below -5 celcious and we have tarantulas a friend of mine has one as a pet he got from a local park😂

[@KimiTakami]

I was just thinking, "Yeah, it got there because of the exotic pet trade, and its former owner abandoned it when it started getting too big and too aggressive.

This is the most likely explanation for these Crocodiles being in Maine in this story.

[@fkrkf]

​@@KimiTakami there wasn't much of an exotic pet trade in 1840s NE Maine but I could totally see a circus transporting their animals over the waterways in the area, perhaps to Canada and losing a young crocodile overboard to negligence.

Built boat docks in North and South Carolina for a while, mostly on Lake Wylie. One day I noticed a long jawbone in the riprap along the shore, it had some knarly teeth. Knew immediately but had to ask my coworkers about it. That was the day I realized we did in fact have massive Gator Gar swiming around with us!

[@ehnoobsemaj7774]

P.S. the fishermen who snag the Gars will break off the bottom jaw of the fish to keep them from killing the desirable fish. That's why a random jaw bone was found lol

That "murky" you saw was actually a musky, and they don't reach 6ft, they max out at around 60 inches.

He described it as a freshwater barracuda and even showed a clip of barracuda when the actual animal is a pike, so I don’t think he really cares for details about it.

in the italian dub the old lady states that the croc was a pet of the couple and they kept it for 60 years,it was so weird,hearing the whole theory of the migration x)

[@CryptidRenfri]

It must have been huge already when they got it then lol. Easily 25+ft. Crocs grow slowly especially once they mature. Honestly I like the theory of it being a dumped pet. It happens a lot. But it's much older than the couple based on its size, so maybe someone gave it to them or something

[@jordanjajdelski5586]

I'd say they're probably either a relitive of or related to the American Crocodile that over time migrated up the east coast and adapted to the colder temperatures like alligators and probably lived alongside them and died out when the megafauna did, considering we see its eaten a bear, cow and moose it probably ate bigger animals and this is how it probably didn't compete with alligators since they eat smaller animals. These crocodiles probably then spread up north to Maine and what we see here is a relic population that's being kept alive due to the productivity of the surrounding environment and/or the old lady feeding them. Or at least that's what I think.

It could be fun if Roanoke fact checked that series... if they left out something that completely changed the outcome it’d be hilarious

[@CryptidRenfri]

Sharks fight with crocs a lot here in Australia. The outcome varies, sometimes crocs win, and I assume sometimes sharks win. It probably mostly depends on which is bigger I suppose. Plenty of crocs getting around with shark bite marks and missing legs. Kinda like a sperm whale with scars from giant squid lol
