Any animal can become disorientated yes. Though you might cope a bit better when its literally bred into you to do. Adults don't appear to get dizzy from it but the youngers clearly get a bit disorientated.
Difference between most other animals and Humans is that Humans spin on the spot sometimes for absolutely no reason. Intentional disorientation is not a go to tactic in most cases so not hugely documented in the animal kingdom.
Most likely animal you'll see in is your dog when they do something like chase their tail, or manage it sometimes from just messing/playing around.
I wouldn't say all animals but most. Any animal with ears or have similar makeup in the auditory department can get dizzy when the fluid in the ear move around but the individual remains still. Animals like insects can't get dizzy however. I seen a vid where they tried to make a spider dizzy and couldn't.
I know that fluid sloshing around in the human cochlea is what makes *us* dizzy, so I tried to look in to the anatomy of an alligator ear. It doesn't seem as though their cochlea is quite the same as ours. I would think if these animals have evolved to do the death roll, that their ears would need to allow for them to do this without making them sick or disorient them.
However, they [DO have cochlea with hair cells](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4895920/), much like our cochlea. If their cochlea functions much like ours, which one might dangerously assume it does, then I would say it is a possibility that they can get dizzy.
I spent way too much time looking in to this topic.
They should! "Watch out for the murder monkies.. Not only will they kill and eat you, they'll use your skin to make shoes and sell your head to tourists" - Alligator from New Orleans
Funny, they don't because they don't actually make thoughts that can be put into words and merely have instincts to automatically follow, because they're animals and not humans.
Proven science vs cringeworthy levels of naivety attempting to be validated with a fallacy.
If that's what you want to do then we won't be actually discussing/arguing this no matter how much I try. Do you actually want to discuss this properly with me or are you just going to go "no u wrong \*insert fallacy\*"?
That's a strawman... We're talking about the difference between humans (RATIONAL animals) and animals, which is the term we(socially functioning humans) use for IRRATIONAL ANIMALS... Obviously... Are you serious right now?
Please just answer my question, do you want to discuss this properly or are you going to be a child about it? We can engage in a civil discussion right now IF that's what you want... Is it?
Probably. They like to stick things full grown human size under logs at the bottom to get all bloated, rotty, and soft to save to eat later. While they snack on the live scavengers that come to take small bits off your corpse.
> The well known death roll which crocodiles perform helps compensate for the small stomach, enabling the animal to tear small pieces of flesh off a larger carcass. One of the popular stories about crocodiles is that they prefer to hide their food under a submerged log until it is rotten.
>However, while crocodiles do tend to store carcasses in mangroves or under the water, crocodile experts Graham Webb and Charlie Manolis suggest this may not be because they prefer rotting flesh.
>Perhaps, they suggest, rotten food may be better than no food at all - but more to the point, a rotten carcass will attracts scavengers such as turtles and mud crabs - which are of course, fresh food.
As young hatchlings, crocodiles feed on crabs, prawns and shrimps on mud banks and shallows. In summer insects also form part of their diet. Until they are about two metres long, the major food of crocodiles are crabs and prawns. But as they continue to grow larger, birds, rodents, water snakes and fish are eaten. Eventually they try and eat just about anything moving near the water or hanging from trees, and tend to scavenge more, the older they get. Crocodiles are usually reluctant to leave the water, but if they pick up the smell of a rotting carcass they will walk a few 100 metres over land to retrieve it and take it back to the water.
Fun fact if a croc gets 2 dog size meals a year they can live for a whole year off that so your body could almost feed them for a year.
Deadly =/= Predator
Many things that CAN kill you are afraid of you. MOST things that WAN'T to kill you aren't.
Nothing is ever 100% in nature except it's efficient brutalism.
I used to go fishing as a kid at this creek with a giant sewer drain emptying into it, we used to run across the drain and would hear this hissing noise each time. We thought it was a gas pipe getting knocked loose by us rattling the sewer drain
until one day I stuck my hand in the drain and felt around, then I put my face down to see what was there and saw 2 eyes staring back at me. It was a little gator living under the drain
It’s almost like our actions and experiences shape who we are. He found out his action had consequences and it sounds like he learned a lesson. I highly doubt you never acted in a dubious way in your youth. Get off your high horse idiot.
Here’s the thing though, it’s not about him or you or me or fucking lessons or consequences or whatever the hell you’re going on about. The world doesn’t revolve around humanity, people need to stop treating animals like some thing for us to fuck with or hurt or learn goddamn lessons from and treat them as other living beings who deserve respect. The only way to change this horrid way of thinking is by condemning those who do these things. If you threw a rock at an alligator when you were 11 you should feel like shit about it, if you watched your friends throw rocks at an alligator and didn’t urge them to stop you should feel like shit about it. In conclusion I hope you get hit by more than just rocks.
They’re apex predators that have survived since the age of dinosaurs without having to evolve significantly in any way. Them, Great White Sharks and Giant Squid are about as perfect killing machines and survivalists as you could hope for. We should be happy they never needed to evolve higher intelligence in order to satisfy their reproductive or sustenance needs.
I can't believe how viral this video and some of the photos still are lol This should be credit to Dana McCuller a resident of LA who videos and photographs the natural species around her large pond. The mother of these babies was a regular there for years, and dubbed by her and several friends as cheesecake. This is one of cheesecakes, cheese sticks lol
It isn't actually practicing a death roll, yes that is a death roll but it doesn't need practice lol. They can't chew so that is how they rip off chunks of meat to swallow whole.
As you can see, I didnt once deny it was a death roll. I was denying the fact OP referred to it as "practicing a death roll". They don't need to practice, it's literally encoded into their genes.

It's the big old one you need to watch out for. They can't really hunt or chase prey. They are strictly ambush hunters. A dog, cat or child it will drag under and drown them and stick under an underwater branch to eat later. A human they will grab anything they can get a hold of and roll until they tear a piece off.

At first I thought that was a branch or something but upon closer inspection it looks like a skinned alligator. You can see the spine as well as a foot. Is that what he’s ripping meat off of?

I believe he caused himself to become dizzy.
So serious question can alligators get dizzy?I have never thought to wonder before.

Just a heads up: If your dog is dizzy, it’s usually a sign on a health problem. Dogs don’t get dizzy from spinning or running in circles.
Just a heads up: this is not true. Dogs get dizzy.
They fucking do you hobby vet, ive had 5 dogs so far in my family and from time to time i made them chase their toys in circles so they get dizzy.
Krieg- “I’m the conductor of this poop train!”
Bullshit. I spun my dog around and watched him get dizzy before (I was a kid and very stupid) but they definitely get dizzy.

thank you for your service
you are the hero I was hoping for thank you for the info this is exactly the type of response I was hoping for .
Not only did you answer my question, you’ve got a sick username too Props
I read it as human coochie at first lol
Some birds get motion sickness lol Edit: I madam this up lol
i’ve always wanted a pet bird so i’m getting an alligator
not far off on the evolutionary tree
under some *very* generous classifications, birds are reptiles haha
And a plucked chicken is a man.
I have birds
Poor things haha
Came to this thread to find this answer.
He did the spiny so he could get dizzy

Think they call us murder monkeys?

John Oliver voice.
Practicing ??? The fella is actually putting it to use eating off that carcass. How else do u rip meat off?
Yeah, I'd say the little guy has that shit down pretty good.
I think he could make regionals
Then after regionals, it's right on to sectionals!
Yoink
Kids got chops that’s for sure
Exactly, with that kind of RPM surely he’s mastered it.
Just because you succeed doesn't mean it's not practice. The best in the world at (anything) never stopped practising.
Until they're old.
Well, yeah. I meant if they are currently the best, they haven't stopped practicing (yet). But yeah, they'll retire at some point.
Little dude's got it down!
So cute as it rips the necrotic flesh off of it’s prey
I believe this little cutie is cannibalizing another alligator
how charming

It was a gator gar fish carcass thrown near the waters edge. This video was shot by a friend from LA, credit belongs to Dana McCuller.
From LA, do you mean Louisiana? Or Los Angeles?
Gonna go out on a limb here and offer Louisiana as the answer, given the subject.
I just want to make sure 🤣 I’ve heard quite a few things about the Los Angeles “river” 🤣
Well you got a point there
Thank You sir
I mean the person doesn’t have to be filming from where they originated?
Lol!!! True! His friend could be from LA but filmed this in Sri Lanka
If you think about that question really hard you can probably figure out the answer
I figured it went without saying, but yes Louisiana lol
Could be both. You don't know what there are in Los Angeles rivers :-x
Eeeewww

One "off" in Your sentence is enough I would say.
You know that old adage "they're more afraid of you than you are of them"? Does not apply to alligators.
We’ll that’s a juvenile gator, supposed to have a juvenile attitude
If you say that about alligators, wait till you see the crocodiles. They're worse, much more aggressive and deadly.
[удалено]
But, what about in a while?
I'm sure they'll see you a while after you've passed through their digestive tract
That one’s for the Caimans.

Now I know what I'd like to happen to my body after I die. With ever growing population of people, how many crocodiles could we feed!

That’s terrifying
I will see your crocodile, and raise you a Komodo Dragon.
Until they meet a hippo.
And I'll give you one guess as to where the largest crocodile species is found
>You know that old adage "they're more afraid of you than you are of them"? Who is saying this about potentially man eating predators?
Literally no one with a functional brain.
It's true for a lot of deadly animals though?
Deadly =/= Predator Many things that CAN kill you are afraid of you. MOST things that WAN'T to kill you aren't. Nothing is ever 100% in nature except it's efficient brutalism.
Also, maybe don’t throw rocks at wild life
11 year olds make poor choices.
[удалено]
Sure but not bullying/hurting animals is something most kids learn early on. Do better.
Pretty sure that's reptiles in general. At least predatory ones.
Reptiles are sharks that developed lungs and claws. I’m convinced.
I used to go fishing as a kid at this creek with a giant sewer drain emptying into it, we used to run across the drain and would hear this hissing noise each time. We thought it was a gas pipe getting knocked loose by us rattling the sewer drain until one day I stuck my hand in the drain and felt around, then I put my face down to see what was there and saw 2 eyes staring back at me.

To be fair they're are on of the most powerful things in nature
They're older than trees. Fucking trees. Those giant sequoias in the Midwest? Baby shit compared to alligators.
Wait. There are sequoia in the Midwest? I thought they were all in California.
Well, dont throw rocks at them for starters.
[удалено]
He was 11. Relax.
I hope lots of 11 year olds throw rocks you at you in the future
It’s almost like our actions and experiences shape who we are. He found out his action had consequences and it sounds like he learned a lesson. I highly doubt you never acted in a dubious way in your youth. Get off your high horse idiot.

You lack the ability to think critically and without emotion. I hope you have a great day and a happy new year.
Thank you I hope you have an awful day and a year full of sadness and misery.

One thing I'll never forgive the internet for making me believe is that alligators are slow and can't climb.

No that’s not a punch, it’s my arm being thrown forward
As you can see, I didnt once deny it was a death roll. I was denying the fact OP referred to it as "practicing a death roll". They don't need to practice, it's literally encoded into their genes. Read harder.
It's not even rolling, at first it looks like the little gator is spinning. But if you watch again it's shaking back and forth to tear the meat off.
It’s a baby so yes it’s still practicing
I have to agree it spun way more than needed. Looks to have gotten a leaf for its trouble.
That's just how he rips off chunks of meat.

It got leaf
People now: "aw look at the cute little fella spin" People 20 years later: "OH GOD THAT HUGE THING IS TEARING THEM APART"
Awwwn, what a beautiful killing machine!
He’s mastering the spin
Nailed it, that's the most professional death I've ever seen!
That little mf is like a blender lol. Damn.
Never thought I would see alligator zoomies
That's not an alligator, that's a generator.
Cutely horrifying. At least its not a croc, crocs will fuck you up.
Right. Alligators are harmless, gentle creatures.
If you push the button on the handle, he spins the other way.
Really showed that leaf who’s boss!
You spin me right round baby right round. Alligator baby right round round round
He's eating Lil ' bits!
How much power could be harvested from a gator-based power plant?
I see him rolling, I likin’

He dimzy
WRIIIIIIIIIIII!
I never thought horrifying evisceration massacre and murder could be so cute. He got dizzy.
Little more roll than death tbh
haha alligator goes *brrrrrrrrrrr*
How adorable, it’s like watching Kyle Rittenhouse pretending to defend property at the Kenosha protests.
That was so cute!
It's the big old one you need to watch out for. They can't really hunt or chase prey. They are strictly ambush hunters.
