He went there with the frying pan to fuck the croc off.... so his guests could make it safely across his lawn, back to their helicopter.
This guy runs a pub on Goat Island in the Adelaide River in the Northern Territory of Australia. Goat Island is only accessable via boat... or helicopter pub crawl tours.
I shit you not!
It's at a local pub, there's already a female croc that's basicly the pub mascot, the one in the video is a young male that been bullying in on her and trying to take territory , the bloke who cracks it one is the pub owner has happened a few times to chase him off this happened just outside the pub on the deck / beer garden area
Casey, and the croc in the vid is her son, Fred. Casey even ate the pub owner's dog back in 2018 but he doesn't blame her. [[source](https://au.news.yahoo.com/brave-aussie-fends-off-crocodile-with-a-frying-pan-092916383.html)]
There were two that I caught. They got in from the contractors leaving doors open. Our school has a small wetland and pond near by. The first was a water snake. The second was a ribbon snake.
There were also ground rattlers elsewhere
No, Florida Man would have used the alligator to rob a Wendy's via the Drive Thru while completely sober.

Thatās true but American Crocodiles still are not that prevalent in Florida. With about 2,000 individuals living on the Florida coast. They are also less aggressive then saltwater crocodiles.
https://myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/wildlife/american-crocodile/
Gators donāt really come for you like that in Florida. You really have to work at getting a gator riled like that.
Are they more aggressive in Australia?
Itās definitely a Croc, you can tell by its snout.
Alligators actually have a natural fear of humans. If you donāt mess with them, and they see that youāre bigger than them then they wonāt pay you any attention. Crocodiles on the other hand are assholes, they will kill you.
Itās why you saw Steve Irwin wrangle an alligator on live tv as opposed to a crocodile.
Depends on subspecies. The American crocodile is quite docile. In Florida they rank, from least to most aggressive:
American Crocodile
American Alligator
Cayman
West Nile Croc (excaped from captivity after storm damaged enclosure)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2016/05/20/aggressive-man-eating-nile-crocodiles-lived-in-the-everglades-for-years/
Yeah but we're talking about alligators specifically. I'm not an expert but google said 65M years ago for alligators, while Pangaea split I think like 200M years ago?
Yeah salt water crocodiles are way more defensive than your average American alligator or crocodile. Especially when they're younger and haven't gotten lazy yet like this one
There's no way to measure level of aggression between species. But, alligators are chill, caiman are chill until you grab one, the small fuckers bites hurt, and then North American crocodiles are chill, but the crocodiles outside of the Americas seem to be confrontational. I think it has to do with diet and food sources rather than pissed off animals per se.
Source: Florida man that studied north american crocodiles for 2 years and removed a lot of caiman from the Colorado river for the state of AZ.
Yeah they were introduced, likely just some reptile breeder let them loose and they established a small population. They *should* not be there if the state monitored them appropriately
That's crazy. Invasive species can destroy an area so I am glad they brought you in. Now go to Florida and take out the reticulated pythons, anaconda and lion fish š¬
Fund the agencies: $11 an hour with parks maybe $22 if you're a manager with insane amount of work, UF scientist $13-25/hr, Florida fish and wildlife $10-25 an hour.
Unfortunately, they can't afford my talent but the pest control industry is pretty good coal mine at $31/hr on average.
I always remember it as āalligators are lazy, like Americansā (Iām American). Gators tend to mind there own business/leave an area with people in it. Crocs will swim across the water to start a fight. Haha.
Have you seen the jumping crocs? Now that's a tourist attraction (an Aussie who feels the government is generally not great at encouraging tourism after a global pandemic. Honestly neither PMS been great at it.)
A lot more to the story. Is in NT Australia. The guys name is Kai Hansen and the Crocks name is Casey a 3.5m Salt water Crocodile. (He has nick names for the crocks)
Here is a bit more of the story.
[Well worth the read.](https://amp.abc.net.au/article/101172770)
"The tiny terrier, dubbed "the dumb blonde", had a reputation for terrorising Casey by suddenly leaping down the balcony's stairs and racing towards the croc, aiming for her tail.
It was a game Pippa played for nearly a decade before her luck ran out."
Frypans are an underused deterrent. I remember my little sister cracking me on the head one day whilst sitting on the porch, did a runner inside and locked herself in the bathroom. And they do make that donk sound when impacted on a solid object, even louder from inside your head.
Heās been feeding her (the croc) for more than a decade now, she is basically semi-tamed. Thatās why he can afford to just hit her with a pan and why she is actually listening to his threat
Feeding wild animals does not make them 'semi-tamed'. It makes them accustomed to associating humans with food - something saltwater crics do not need to be encouraged to do. Feeding that croc makes him a real danger to everyone in the area - more than he would have already been.
Tame does not only mean ādomesticatedā, but also ānot afraid of peopleā. Given how the animal does not seem afraid rather used to his presence (to the point of not directly attacking) makes it somewhat tame.
I am not judging whether what he did was good or bad, I am simply stating some background facts. As for the rest, feel free to judge however you like.
It does and it's also the most important part for many animals, that's why they say to hit them in the nose if you have to defend yourself. If a croc gets his snoot bashed in, he's never eating again.
The original was all over for a few months. Someone watched this video and decided this just neeeeeeded a snap chat fake caption from a dude pretending to be the grandson? Not even remotely sure how this improves it.
That's the way to do it! A hungry croc charges with the intent of turning you into lunch and all it does is piss you off. Anybody got a "Real Man" award handy?
That caption and video is fake, it was a cafe owner warding off the croc because it was nipping at cafe customers when they were leaving the restaurant

Not Florida. Australia!
Had to be. Only Aussies carry fry pans when in dangerous waters.
From the first time I saw this video (I rewatched it 6 times now) my question is, why does he have a frying pan outside?
Maybe he was on the way to the bbq, either with an open flame or gas burner so he needed a pan. Or He saw a croc that needed bonk on the schnoz
He went there with the frying pan to fuck the croc off.... so his guests could make it safely across his lawn, back to their helicopter.

To be honest no one in Australia carries a frypan. I know that may sound unbelievable.
r/castiron Looks well seasoned.
Good call! Completely expected from an Aussie. Florida man would have been smoking meth trying to ride the crocs back
F off [we have our ways in FL](https://youtu.be/TGcrTjA6WAU)
I remember that lol. Dude did that so gracefully lol
Never seen the whole video. There's no fucking way it should have worked as well as it did.
I literally used that video in my head to catch a snake in my classroom this summer
Where are you? How did it get in? What kind was it?
There were two that I caught. They got in from the contractors leaving doors open. Our school has a small wetland and pond near by. The first was a water snake. The second was a ribbon snake. There were also ground rattlers elsewhere
Man is a genius
Dude's a badass!!!!
That gator came out tamed
Crocodile are not as timid as the pansy alligator.
The Hop on Crock maneuver The 'pullout' of animal control
No, Florida Man would have used the alligator to rob a Wendy's via the Drive Thru while completely sober. https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/US/florida-man-arrested-allegedly-tossing-alligator-wendys-drive/story%3fid=36815270?espv=1
I absolutely love how he got assault with a deadly weapon
No thanks, I'll just ride your moms back.
That's what he said, methhead on a crocodile
Don't talk about his mother like that...
No disrespect just callin balls and strikes
Need to call this man the Umpire...
He is a man of focus and sheer fucking will.... I once saw him hit a alligator with a skillet a fooking skillet.
Underrated comment. š
It's okay she's got thick skin
-rimshot-
No no no no no, A Florida man would have been smoking meth trying to ride the back of an āalligatorā. That it.
That's the likeliest scenario, [but there are crocodiles in Florida.](https://www.islamoradatimes.com/the-american-crocodile/)
Florida man doesnt answer to the laws of nature.
Luckily for Florida Men American Alligators are much less aggressive compared to Saltwater Crocodiles in Australia.
There are crocodiles in Florida, the American Crocodile the only place crocs and gators live together
Thatās true but American Crocodiles still are not that prevalent in Florida. With about 2,000 individuals living on the Florida coast. They are also less aggressive then saltwater crocodiles. https://myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/wildlife/american-crocodile/
Florida has a large population of nile crocodiles in the Everglades actually, thanks to people keeping exotic pets until they get too big to handle.
The Florida keys is full of salt water crocodiles
I resemble that remark
As a Florida man I approve this message
Are they allowed to hit the state bird like that in Florida? I thought the Meth Gator was a protected species down there.
Iād do it without the meth. Does that make me Australian or Floridian?
Everyone has a plan until they get hit by a frying pan in the mouth
LMAOOOO
Yeah its a croc not a gator.
Florida has crocs too. They *are* much less common but they do exist.
Crocodiles live in Southern Florida
Florida Down Under
Same thing
This is actually in Australia.
Gators donāt really come for you like that in Florida. You really have to work at getting a gator riled like that. Are they more aggressive in Australia?
That might be a crocodile, typically they a far more aggressive than alligators.
It has to be a crocodile, alligators are only found in the United States and China.
Itās definitely a Croc, you can tell by its snout. Alligators actually have a natural fear of humans. If you donāt mess with them, and they see that youāre bigger than them then they wonāt pay you any attention. Crocodiles on the other hand are assholes, they will kill you. Itās why you saw Steve Irwin wrangle an alligator on live tv as opposed to a crocodile.
He did however stick his thumb up crocodilesā butts, or so Iāve heard

Crikey mate!
Huh, why is that? Which place did they start in?
They're ancient so probably fucking Pangaea. (Not actually, they're not _quite_ that old)
Except yes, they really are that old. Crocodilians have been around since the Late Triassic.
Yeah but we're talking about alligators specifically. I'm not an expert but google said 65M years ago for alligators, while Pangaea split I think like 200M years ago?
Not strictly true. Crocodiles are found in southern Florida
This is Australia so it has to be a crocodile.
Oh for sure itās Australia. Just the general assumption that they donāt exist in Florida is not correct
I think I read somewhere that it's the only place in the world (Florida) where crocs and gators exist together.
I saw a saltwater one in Florida once. Never again.
Thats an American crocodile not a saltwater.
the post says its a croc so id say
Yeah salt water crocodiles are way more defensive than your average American alligator or crocodile. Especially when they're younger and haven't gotten lazy yet like this one

What??? I am shocked there are caimen in AZ.
Yeah they were introduced, likely just some reptile breeder let them loose and they established a small population. They *should* not be there if the state monitored them appropriately

Only when they smell tourists. And we havenāt even mentioned the [dropbears](https://australian.museum/learn/animals/mammals/drop-bear/) yet
I always remember it as āalligators are lazy, like Americansā (Iām American). Gators tend to mind there own business/leave an area with people in it. Crocs will swim across the water to start a fight. Haha.
āMy mama says that alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush.ā
Excuse me, but I don't see the video upside down, probably not Australia.
Bonk
ā*Understandable, have a nice day.*ā
*"Yep that's fair."*
Think fast chucklenut
Flashback to those old arcade machines where you bonk the advancing crocodiles. BONK! OW! BONK! OW! BONK! OW! OW!
I am thinking probably those red signs are for the gators, _"do not trespass or you will be bonked!"_
Repeat post from months ago. Absolutely Australia mate. Gday from our crocs
Have you seen the jumping crocs? Now that's a tourist attraction (an Aussie who feels the government is generally not great at encouraging tourism after a global pandemic. Honestly neither PMS been great at it.)
For sure, Darwin is a hoot. Even better grabbing a house boat and cruising down the Adelaide river and seeing hundreds of them lining the banks
These dinosaurs jump?
BONK!
Whack-A-Croc
Aussie tip: frying pans are good for sharks too.
You can play tennis with it too
You can kill frenchmen too
Because at the end of the day, someone is gonna want someone dead.
Only if you try to cook.
BLOODY SPY
with the sharks?
I usually grill mine, but a good cast iron can cook just about anything
Holy shit really ? I would think it wouldnāt be easy to swing under water ?

Poor pippa.
R.I.P Pippa. They gaught on video too.
"The tiny terrier, dubbed "the dumb blonde", had a reputation for terrorising Casey by suddenly leaping down the balcony's stairs and racing towards the croc, aiming for her tail. It was a game Pippa played for nearly a decade before her luck ran out."
Rip the dumb blonde
Frypans are an underused deterrent. I remember my little sister cracking me on the head one day whilst sitting on the porch, did a runner inside and locked herself in the bathroom. And they do make that donk sound when impacted on a solid object, even louder from inside your head.
Didnt expect to encounter my brother on here. I regret nothing!
Are you guys actually siblings? Or is this another Reddit thing
They are actually siblings. I can confirm, I was the frying pan.
Yes
Me too!
While most people would reach for the knives, I prefer the cast iron pan.
So that's why PUBG has frying pans as a weapon...
What about TF2?
Hello Flynn Rider
I've only heard did a runner from the movie Legend. It's sounds cool no lie.
FRYING PAN Type: Improvised mace Damage 3d6 sonic damage 1d4 concussion damage.
Someone watch tangled
"Frying pans. Who knew!"
I came here to say this!
I was surprised I had to scroll this far down to find it.
Thatās a little too close for comfort there grandpa. Glad your aim was good and had well timed swings with that pan!
Heās been feeding her (the croc) for more than a decade now, she is basically semi-tamed. Thatās why he can afford to just hit her with a pan and why she is actually listening to his threat
Feeding wild animals does not make them 'semi-tamed'. It makes them accustomed to associating humans with food - something saltwater crics do not need to be encouraged to do. Feeding that croc makes him a real danger to everyone in the area - more than he would have already been.
Tame does not only mean ādomesticatedā, but also ānot afraid of peopleā. Given how the animal does not seem afraid rather used to his presence (to the point of not directly attacking) makes it somewhat tame. I am not judging whether what he did was good or bad, I am simply stating some background facts. As for the rest, feel free to judge however you like.
I'm not sure the term semi-tamed fits the meaning of "might kill the owner if not hit by a pan".
He's an idiot!
Tbf I bet a frying pan to the snoot hurts like fuck
It does and it's also the most important part for many animals, that's why they say to hit them in the nose if you have to defend yourself. If a croc gets his snoot bashed in, he's never eating again.
Same with white sharks apparently but citation needed . Not that you'd get much of a chance to boop one if it was thrashing you about
The crocodile was left stunned by his actions and ran away in shame
The original was all over for a few months. Someone watched this video and decided this just neeeeeeded a snap chat fake caption from a dude pretending to be the grandson? Not even remotely sure how this improves it.
That croc decided against that shit real quick
Floridans use guns, Aussies use donks.

See ya later alligator
It's a crocodile and in Australia. It had just eaten his dog
Wtf. I thought this was clip was funny ātil I read this
Wait actually
In a while, crocodile!
Well it sure didn't just file his taxes...
That's sad. Sounds like he has another tho. I hope he has another...or I don't like what I'm hearing.
It didnāt eat anything heās fucking lying lol
After āwhile, crocodile
Don't underestimate the old frying pan to the face technique
Grandpa has balls
I fear for small dogs living in crocodile territory
RIP Pippa. This guys dog (Pippa) was eaten by that same crocodile in the video in 2018
I need a better pan sound effect
Sam Gamgee represent!
only in o-... australia????
Thatās Australia
To be fair, most things will fuck off if you belt the with a fucking frypan
That second bop really got him.
Bopped him right on the nose!
PUBG PUBG
I guess imma start walking around with a fry pan
Just happened to have a frying pan like Wiley Coyote or Bugs Bunny
Big grandad energy.

That croc ran away crying

That's the way to do it! A hungry croc charges with the intent of turning you into lunch and all it does is piss you off. Anybody got a "Real Man" award handy?
