This crocodile gallops like a horse, jumps like an acrobat, and has better impulse control than me at a buffet. I’m officially terrified.
As someone who worked at a Zoo with Cuban crocodiles, they are absolutely fucking terrifying. I’ve never felt closer to working with the raptors from Jurassic Park than with them.
the way it moves at 0:52 is unlike any other crocodilian, keeping its head stable and high like an intelligent true active predator (not unlike big cats or wolves) and the sight of it moving like that with those huge jaws is unnerving. most other crocodillians just swing their head in the general direction of something and bite real hard but cubans are calculated. easily top 3 animal in my book
Cuban Crocodiles: Keeping that Sebechid dream alive to terrorize the mammals.
All we can hope is that any magnificent creature that's covered in living zoo doesn't get end up being covered in the extinct zoo channel💯
Down here in Orlando there’s a place called Gatorland that has a pack of these and they are super cool What’s also funny is they have a lone female in an enclosure with a bunch of smaller alligators, because she’s very aggressive and kept attacking the other crocks but for some reason leaves the gators alone
Cuban crocodiles are actually beautiful
New favourite animal just dropped
So should we consider Cuban Crocs as a lost anachronism, traits or characteristics of a living species that are a result of coevolution with now-extinct species. Example, California Condors were meant to be scavenging on large megafauna carcasses (mammoths and bison, etc) during the last ice age but, they went extinct yet the Condors are still around today. now adapting to scavenging on marine mammals
Cuban Crocodile sounds like a really epic firework. Something even a fireworks connoisseur like Joe Dirt would enjoy.
I’ve seen many comments that are of the belief that a land croc wouldn’t be that scary or hard to escape, I usually point them towards our Cuban friends here 👀
I actually impressed on how in the world that the Croc spread out from Africa to America. Like, did they really swam across the entire ocean?
Fun fact, Cuban crocs are not the only species that can gallop, some australian and i think african species also do the same
Cuban Crocodiles are genuinely one of my favorite animals, and we NEED to save them. Thank you so much for spreading awareness about their plight!
Honestly, any crocodilian can be taught to respond to its own name based on what Gator Chris does all the time.
Wasn't that level of intelligence found in Alligators as well?
I’m so glad you decided to make a whole video of my favorite reptile! 😁
0:31 hell no. I would never get that close to a saltie even for $100..
I thought I'd seen it all with an alligator climbing a chain-link fence in Florida, but the galloping Cubano takes the prize
