  • Frank Robb, a crocodile and alligator expert, rates crocodile and alligator attacks in movies and television shows for realism.
    He rates crocodile bites in "Jumanji" (1995), starring Robin Williams; "Lake Placid" (1999); and the James Bond film "Live and Let Die" (1973). Robb also rates alligator strikes in "Loki" S1E4 (2021); "Crawl" (2019); "The Big Short" (2015), featuring Brad Pitt; and "Happy Gilmore" (1996), starring Adam Sandler. He discusses crocodile hunting and trapping behaviors in "Crocodile Dundee" (1986) and "Crocodile Dundee In Los Angeles" (2001). He breaks down alligator anatomy, including their teeth, skin, and tails, in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" (1984), starring Harrison Ford; "Adaptation" (2002), featuring Nicolas Cage; and "Alligator" (1980).
    Robb has been catching nuisance alligators and crocodiles for Florida for over 29 years. He operates the environmental education and research nonprofit EEARSS, or Environmental Education Awareness Research Support and Services.

      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.

      @@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
      @Brandon-br7tc Před 4 měsíci +33

      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.

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.

Still haunts me.

    While I am not sure if George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and/or any film consultants or production crew that they had consciously intended this parallel, I think the "crocodiles" depicted in the film are supposed to be mugger crocodiles (the third unmentioned species of crocodilian in the Indian subcontinent that somewhat resembles the American alligators from the St. Augustine Alligator Farm that were actually used for that film sequence).
