This video has been going semi-viral on the internet for the last couple of days.
Due to the narrator’s British accent, you’re inclined to believe it.
We have the same number of fingers.
If we wave them in the air, a delicious tourist will dive in to save us.
We’ll eat good tonight."
I could see it happening once or twice.
That’s a question for this guy.
If anybody has ever witnessed a crocodile trick a human into diving in the water, it’s him.
That guy could clear this up in a matter of minutes.
I suppose it’s not the craziest concept.
Crocodiles could have discovered this by accident.
It would be a hilariously stupid way to die.
Crocodiles are pretty smart after all.
They lure prey in other ways.
For example, they’ll lay along the water with sticks on their heads to attract birds.
If the birds get too close, they become a meal.
And it’s not like they’re shy about going after humans.
They do see us as food.
I’m starting to talk myself into believing this.
We really gotta get a hold of that guy.
I need to know if anybody, even one person, has fallen for this trap.
If so, we need to start putting more respect on the crocodile name.
I never hear them mentioned when people talk about the smartest animals.
Whales and dolphins get all the shine.
The African Grey Parrot.
More advanced versions of the same test revealed the parrots ability for logical thinking.
Crocs are mentioned nowhere inSentient’s list of 30 smartest animals.
But if crocodiles are really out here outsmarting humans, they should skyrocket up the ranks.
I mean they’re basically dinosaurs.
They’ve been on this planet since pre-historic times.
They clearly have their shit together.
Crocodiles are doing something right.
Regardless… be careful visiting Indonesia.
Be especially careful swimming.
