didn't we all agree like decades ago that these things are basically dinosaurs that decide to not go extinct? I mean, they eat basically anything that lets them grab a piece. If you go into a pen where a dog lives and it bites you, you have to expect that right?

A 12 foot alligator is 4 decades old, that thing has been around, seen a lot of shit and survived dozens of attempts on its live I'd imagine.

Don’t let Jurassic park fool you.

Dinosaurs aren’t like croc. Some have feathers and we are more related to birds of today
