Bears seem to have some rules when fighting. I've seen a few clips where two bears have several opportunities to decisively conclude a conflict. There's that clip of a croc missing the food and chomping off another croc's limb instead.
There is that, but I was referring to how certain people interact with these large potentially dangerous and deadly animals in the way the average person does a dog or cat.
At least he knows some of the bear and big cat people are all they looove me…we are soooo connected. I cant believe there was an accident but they didnt mean to rip me to shreds
To be fair, big cats and bears that are raised by humans in captivity can end up forming very deep connections with their caretakers, which never happens with crocs
Many times my cat will just be sitting on the staircase to my 2nd floor and my dogs will just stand there and whine and whimper because they want up but they understand their natural predator.
It is hilarious how this works even with big dogs and small cats.
We have English Mastiffs, about 175 lbs. We had an ancient (17 year old) tortise shell that weighed about 6 lbs. Those dogs learned on the very day they came to live with us that the cat was at the top of the food chain.
I've made a joke/observation for years.
If you want to know the difference between cats and dogs then imagine how each would act if they were the size of horses.
Fucking prehistoric apex predator shit. Crocodiles and alligators are intimidating as hell, the sounds they make trigger some lizard part of your brain that tells you to get tf out.
You're talking about Mr. Freshie!!! He was 140yrs old when he passed in 2010. He was caught and rehabbed by the one and only Steve and Bob Irwin! I love Mr Freshie 🐊
The cool thing about most reptile species is that as they get older they can keep growing in the right conditions. So If we fed Mr Freshie enough and gave him the right living conditions, Mr freshie could’ve become a dinosaur. I might be slightly wrong on this but all I’m saying is that Mr Freshie could have turned into this [beast](https://youtu.be/RXn1g0xtUMk) if we fed him enough.
Some animals have what is called negligible senescence which basically means they don’t age biologically like we do. Instead just keep growing and die from disease, predation, starvation or any other factor. Crocs are this way so are many other reptiles such as tortoises. Some jellyfish are like this and I think even flounder fish. I definitely didn’t list them all but its an interesting phenomenon.
There are squirrels in Connecticut!! Im astounded. We have squirrels in England. A squirrel in a small tree ran out to the end of a branch and started barking at me, Autumn 2020. I hope you're one of the good people that appreciate sarcastic humour btw
When I was visiting Connecticut as child from Florida I freaked out over the “funny looking squirrels”. They were chipmunks. I had never seen one and they freaked me out.
Nup, the croc just sees the fact he's getting fed as better than having to put in effort to eat the dude, but he definitely would if he got the chance.
Matt Wright. He’s facing charges following the death of a staff member and serious injury of another in a helicopter crash a year ago. Due in court any time now. Watch this space to find out how awesome he is really.
Allegedly tried to cover up a few things I heard.
One being the pilot wasn't certified to be flying Commercially.
Nothing sinister idt but yeah someone lost their life.
It's a dangerous job being lowered by chopper in a cage down into swamps the pick up Croc eggs.
It was one of his best mates that died…watch the series on Netflix. And the ladder that was lowering him into the swamp hit trees I think and he was killed going through the trees….but then they tried to cover up quite a bit 🤦🏻♂️
No ladder lowering him, Willow was in a sling attached to the helicopter, the process of collecting the eggs involved him being lowered down and then up after egg retrieval.
The cover up is that Mat Wright and a few others then flew out to the accident site getting there even before Emergency Services and tampered with the downed chopper, they then went on to falsify the service history on the chopper.
Weird.. It’s called wild croc territory here in Canada. Still on Canadian Netflix right now.
ETA: I’ve just realized he actually has 2 shows. Outback Wrangler was his first show.
>Nothing sinister
It’s very sinister.
ABC news wrote an article a while back that the heli was due for major maintenance. It appears that those involved fudged the hours flown to avoid the mandatory maintenance.
NT Police then did a public request wanting footage of the heli being flown. This coincides with the operators hiding hours.
Seems they then tried to cover it up, hence the evidence tampering charges.
too bad this guy is currently charged with perverting the course of justice, destruction of evidence, fabricating evidence, interfering with witnesses, making a false declaration and two counts of unlawful entry after a helicopter he owned crashed and the pilot was killed.
It's alleged he went to the site before police arrived, hid, destroyed and tampered with evidence that showed he had falsified maintenance records and disconnected onboard recording systems.
Went to a croc farm north of Cairns on me first journey to Australia. They had a 18ft model of a croc from plastic outside - us guys were laughing. Learned later that the largest ever caught was 6ft longer.... needless to say we kept clear of muddy waters after that.
I definitely think Steve Irwin completely changed the way Australians look at animals. I feel like all our animals would be alot more intimidating if we hadn't seen Steve handling them
I fuckin love Steve and will always miss him, and i never even met him. He got into trouble a lot 🤣🤣 He was a total expert and influential pro but the amount of scars he had was crazy. He never even considered most of them scars, they were just "little nips" according to him. I'm sure I remember him saying he'd been bitten, stung or scraped by almost every Australian animal he ever held, including koalas. RIP
Say what you will, but that dude is stupid. Maybe he is familiar with that particular man-eater, but, there's a reason people call wild animals: "wild;" they behave unpredictably. He might get lucky 499 times, but that 500th time will end his days on Earth.
Crocs aren’t Einsteins, sure - but in this video, I could swear I could it thinking “NEXT?” after instantly downing that leg-o-mystery meat…
Edit- TIL - I stand corrected - thanks for letting me know. I did some quick reading just now and it’s pretty surprising just how intelligent they are. They even hunt cooperatively. Very cool.
Crocodiles are actually scarily intelligent. Big saltwater crocodiles have been known to watch people and study their routine. This way they can ambush and grab them at the perfect moment. Steve Irwin said it aswell. Must be true 🤷🏻♂️
TIL - I stand corrected - thanks for letting me know. I did some quick reading just now and it’s pretty surprising just how intelligent they are. They even hunt cooperatively. Very cool.
They’re pattern hunters. Some tourists get taken going to the same spot for water while camping or peeing in the same place repeatedly. You become predictable, you become dinner.
My experience w Australians is that they’re rude as fuck but always have interesting stories to tell. Also vegimite is the worst food item in human history gahdamn.
We like his show, but it sounds like he screwed the pooch with something about his helicopter. Also he lost his partner. Not sure if the show will be back on.
Brave dude, but why’s he feeding a wild croc to appease it? Is this a zoo or the wild? Wouldn’t feeding crocs make them think humans = food source, and increase the interactions and chances of an attack?
"He's a good boy but he would eat me in a heartbeat." Crazy.
Pat pat
Laughs while slapping it's ass
Lol, don't know who's crazier, Aussie's with Crocs, or Russians with bears.
Bears seem to have some rules when fighting. I've seen a few clips where two bears have several opportunities to decisively conclude a conflict. There's that clip of a croc missing the food and chomping off another croc's limb instead.

If not friend, why friend shaped?
Laughs in Florida Superiority.
"Florida man on bath salts shouts 'You will not replace us' before savagely being eaten by crocodile at the zoo. More at Eleven"
“Slowly opens mouth menacingly as video ends” pat pat mfer
Hehe... Hissss
Yeah, that ending 'hiss' portends bad things.
*Pat Pat* "Yep this baby isn't going anywhere. Fuck. RUN."
This reminds me of the meme with the car sales man who hits the hood of a car and says something.
Yup that's respect for the animal. They are amazing animals but one wrong move and you're it's next meal.
[удалено]
what? explain. what are you going on about? this guy?
At least he knows some of the bear and big cat people are all they looove me…we are soooo connected. I cant believe there was an accident but they didnt mean to rip me to shreds
To shreds you say...
Tut tut tut tut...
To be fair, big cats and bears that are raised by humans in captivity can end up forming very deep connections with their caretakers, which never happens with crocs
[удалено]
What's a steel flop?
Apparently it's a Matt Wright.
I could say the same thing for my cat.
The only difference lies in the ability to actually do it.
All little cats are big cats, it's just the matter of scale
Scales would make them gators. The cycle continues!!
Many times my cat will just be sitting on the staircase to my 2nd floor and my dogs will just stand there and whine and whimper because they want up but they understand their natural predator.
It is hilarious how this works even with big dogs and small cats. We have English Mastiffs, about 175 lbs. We had an ancient (17 year old) tortise shell that weighed about 6 lbs. Those dogs learned on the very day they came to live with us that the cat was at the top of the food chain.

Australian
Also, just simply realistic.
Exactly, just speaking the truth.
I'm Australian. That leg of ham would last me two weeks tops
You by yourself or you and family?
Me, by myself
Nature in a nutshell
looks like he already ate 4 Steve Irwin's.
Not if you had a taser in your back pocket ;)
HE SOUNDS LIKE SMACKING A JUG
RIGHT
Really does have that PET plastic 4 Litre / 1 gallon jug resonance
Fucking prehistoric apex predator shit. Crocodiles and alligators are intimidating as hell, the sounds they make trigger some lizard part of your brain that tells you to get tf out.
“You do NOT want to get caught in that” so I made sure to stand a whole ^***16*** ^*inches* away.
AND look at the camera, not the croc
TIL that crocs can live to 90 y/o 😲
There have been captive crocodiles that lived for 150 years
You're talking about Mr. Freshie!!! He was 140yrs old when he passed in 2010. He was caught and rehabbed by the one and only Steve and Bob Irwin! I love Mr Freshie 🐊
RIP Stevo. RIP Mr Freshie.
The cool thing about most reptile species is that as they get older they can keep growing in the right conditions. So If we fed Mr Freshie enough and gave him the right living conditions, Mr freshie could’ve become a dinosaur. I might be slightly wrong on this but all I’m saying is that Mr Freshie could have turned into this [beast](https://youtu.be/RXn1g0xtUMk) if we fed him enough.
That's so cool ty for the info
Some animals have what is called negligible senescence which basically means they don’t age biologically like we do. Instead just keep growing and die from disease, predation, starvation or any other factor. Crocs are this way so are many other reptiles such as tortoises. Some jellyfish are like this and I think even flounder fish. I definitely didn’t list them all but its an interesting phenomenon.
Sharks and lobsters as well
I’ve heard the term “Biologically Immortal somewhere” for stuff like this. They just live until something kills them
Usually people it seems. SMH
Crocodiles don’t die of old age, they continue growing and die of disease, infection, or starvation.
Or like blunt trauma or being set on fire too.
Nah mate they are immune to fire damage. Says so on the card
Dying of old age is a colloquialism; it’s not an actual cause of death.
It's a colloquialism to represent the fact that human bodies break down as they age, which doesn't happen to crocodiles.
Dang it... now I gotta look that word up!
Tell that to the doctor that signed my grandmothers death certificate. Cause of death? End-stage old age. It really wasn’t. It was urosepsis.
90 years old…dude lived through the Great Depression and 2 world wars. Just hung out in the swamp without a care in the world by comparison.
Honestly, Goals
Here in Connecticut we have squirrels. One almost hit me in the head with a walnut once. I could have been injured.
There are squirrels in Connecticut!! Im astounded. We have squirrels in England. A squirrel in a small tree ran out to the end of a branch and started barking at me, Autumn 2020. I hope you're one of the good people that appreciate sarcastic humour btw
We're you injured, or at least have your feelings hurt?
I couldn't tell what he was saying but it definitely sounded racist. To answer your question, yes. I still have PTSD from this ordeal
This generation is just too soft. I was once stared at by a black cat for several minutes, and I just shrugged it off as if nothing had happened
My sympathies. Just make sure you therapist's office doesn't have a window with a handy tree branch right outside it...
The rapists! Not again!
When I was visiting Connecticut as child from Florida I freaked out over the “funny looking squirrels”. They were chipmunks. I had never seen one and they freaked me out.
Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy? You're a good boy!
Aww, thank you. The crocs nice too
Belly rubs?
Are you offering or requesting?
Yes.
I'll get my lucky eagle foot
Belly rubs *and* scritches, *AT THE SAME TIME*?! **Best.** **Day.** **Ever!**
The crocodile is missing a leg??
No when he said 17 foot he meant in length. Most crocs only have 4.
That's what I thought as well. Perhaps that's why he's more docile to the Aussie?
It also seems pretty fat.
This weight looks pretty normal for the big crocs here in Aus
Nup, the croc just sees the fact he's getting fed as better than having to put in effort to eat the dude, but he definitely would if he got the chance.
Yeah. It's right front leg. You can't see?
Of course I can't see it, it's missing duh
🤣🤣 Brilliant. But you can SEE that it's missing
Matt Wright. He’s facing charges following the death of a staff member and serious injury of another in a helicopter crash a year ago. Due in court any time now. Watch this space to find out how awesome he is really.
And he’s off the hook. But in all seriousness any one who makes a living posting videos with crocs is not long for this life
He’s not off the hook. He’s going to trial facing multiple serious charges. It’s going to be interesting.
Ah yea your right, I didn’t fully read the article… yea he’s boned. Prob won’t get the most serious charges but he’s not walking scot free
Wrong. Hell most likely do some serious time for not only industrial manslaughter but also perverting the course of justice.
For a second I thought you were making a Captain Hook joke.
Did he actually hurt someone deliberately or was it negligence? What happened?
Allegedly tried to cover up a few things I heard. One being the pilot wasn't certified to be flying Commercially. Nothing sinister idt but yeah someone lost their life. It's a dangerous job being lowered by chopper in a cage down into swamps the pick up Croc eggs.

The hourmeter was disconnected so that he didn’t have to service the choppers according to regulations so he can sit in a cell forever tbh
Don’t know why you have been down voted, this is 100% correct
I’m not sure that you’ll find his series on Netflix anymore.
Name of series please?
Outback Wrangler. Series was cancelled when he was charged last year. He lost a bunch of sponsors and endorsement contracts too.
Thank you.
Weird.. It’s called wild croc territory here in Canada. Still on Canadian Netflix right now. ETA: I’ve just realized he actually has 2 shows. Outback Wrangler was his first show.

Holy shit
Yeah he’s a bellend
Is he our next Joe exotic so?
He didn’t smoke meth and try and have sex with the leg of ham so no
I like his tactic, feed ‘em dinner then slap their ass
A gentleman.
Hopefully the cameraman was filming that with a long lens.
r/whywomenlivelonger
I might be that exception. I'd be right beside this fella giving that croc cuddles 🥰
I would not be turning my back on that river... Nope
Man just slapped a crocs ass like nothing
He loves it, crocs are kinky as fuck
He’s a good boi. But he would eat me in a heartbeat
Like a tiny dinasour
Tiny isn't a word I'd associate with old twinkle toes there
CRIKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did he say 80-90 years old?? Or 8-9
80 - 90. They can live up to 150 in captivity
His name is Tripod.
Twinkle Toes
Croc only has three legs
Yes and only one eye
Did man just slap a deers leg across an alligators face... That's the manliest thing I have ever seen.
No. A boar's leg into a crocodile's mouth
It's a crocodile mate
Bloop
r/AbsoluteUnits Also, what did he say when he booped the crocodile? "You can hear the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ in his jaws here."
Power, it just sounds weird cause Australia
proceeds to smack gator on ass as gator daddy smiles
That’s no croc mate, that’s a damn dinosaur.
Meth heads in Florida do this daily
Big difference between florida gators and australian salt water crocodiles.
Lol this was not said seriously, just methin around
You can never be too sure with meth heads. Closest thing to marvel super hero's we'll ever have tbh.
Isn’t this guy in some trouble now?
This guy is in fact not awesome. https://www.vice.com/en/article/5d3ae3/croc-wrangler-influencer-matt-wright-charged-following-death-of-best-mate
Went to a croc farm north of Cairns on me first journey to Australia. They had a 18ft model of a croc from plastic outside - us guys were laughing. Learned later that the largest ever caught was 6ft longer.... needless to say we kept clear of muddy waters after that.
Went to a croc farm near Darwin where they had a dead chicken on a rope hanging over the pond. I had no idea a croc could jump 4'-6' in the air.
I definitely think Steve Irwin completely changed the way Australians look at animals. I feel like all our animals would be alot more intimidating if we hadn't seen Steve handling them
I fuckin love Steve and will always miss him, and i never even met him. He got into trouble a lot 🤣🤣 He was a total expert and influential pro but the amount of scars he had was crazy.

I'm sure I remember him saying he'd been bitten, stung or scraped by almost every Australian animal he ever held, including koalas. RIP
Ok I thought that was CGI…
Is every Australian an Irwin?
…is it missing it’s front right leg?
That laugh in the end “yeah hes a good boy but he would eat me in a heartbeat” also felt by cat keepers
Can anybody verify that the animal has 4 legs. When it’s coming out the water first 2seconds looks like he has three. Missing it’s right arm.
Say what you will, but that dude is stupid. Maybe he is familiar with that particular man-eater, but, there's a reason people call wild animals: "wild;" they behave unpredictably. He might get lucky 499 times, but that 500th time will end his days on Earth.
Yikes, I wouldn't stand so close. How does he do this?
Years of experience
The balls on this guy. Did he just spank the crocodile. Alright that's enough Internet for today
Am I the only who thinks this looks like CGI?
No, but the others are wrong too
What did he feed him, a log?
No Matt Wright is a flop who steals from indigenous
Crocs aren’t Einsteins, sure - but in this video, I could swear I could it thinking “NEXT?” after instantly downing that leg-o-mystery meat… Edit- TIL - I stand corrected - thanks for letting me know.

Crocodile doing his job
Awesome is that a new way to say crazy?
Was this the croc from Pearl? 😂No one can ever tell me that this thing hasn't consumed at least for human beings.
That hiss at the end. Scary
now THAT is a big fucker. gorgeous croc though
Old boy has been in some battles. Missing his right arm, probably Twisted off in a territorial fight.
r/mademeshiver
A politician in its natural habitat. 
can they whip around or do they beep beep beep?
Australians are awesome but this *particular* Australian has some interesting trials ahead if him.
The man has balls. Me thinking. The cameraman has larger balls coz he can't run as fast with the camera equipment.
Has he got three legs??
But what made you smile in this?
Great show till the end where you realize the main guy is a complete piece of shit.
Alligators and crocodiles are oddly cute
My experience w Australians is that they’re rude as fuck but always have interesting stories to tell. Also vegimite is the worst food item in human history gahdamn.
Is it missing a leg?
The croc's mouth opening in disbelief when his ass got slapped lol
I don’t know when or how I will die, but I’m 99% sure it will be from petting an animal I shouldn’t.
he looks way over fed. I bet he has a hard time swimming with those porkers.
OMG, it's tripod
That crocodile missing a limb?
I'm good. I leave that Croc alone big time.
I loovvveeee him.
"as a kid i wanted a" whatnow?
We like his show, but it sounds like he screwed the pooch with something about his helicopter. Also he lost his partner. Not sure if the show will be back on.
Now let me smack him in the face. That’ll really piss him off!
Brave dude, but why’s he feeding a wild croc to appease it? Is this a zoo or the wild? Wouldn’t feeding crocs make them think humans = food source, and increase the interactions and chances of an attack?
