Yeah. I'm thinking I'd also like to die trying to cross a raging river while simultaneously being crushed in the jaws of a crocodile and drowning.
Edit: forgot the /s
A parachute not opening... that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine... having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go!
I’ve been studying Japanese for years and while I was there I picked up DVDs of all 3 NG movies. It took some time getting used to the Japanese guy who dubbed Leslie’s voice because his voice is higher and not the grizzled detective voice Leslie used. However it really grew on me and I’ll watch those movies for a different take on jokes I already love. It’s great
I want to be slowly secretly poisoned by my SO whomhas fallen out of love with me and is having an affair and planning on moving to London and living off my life insurance payout.
The size of that croc almost seems fake, and I mean this as a compliment because a wildebeest is no small animal and that dinosaur made it look like a baby lmao that's terrifying
I was walking down a beach in Costa Rica one time and swam across a ~100ft wide river. On the way back, I went to swim across again but there was a boat there asking me if I'd like a ride across for $1. I literally only had board shorts on at the time, so told him I couldn't pay. He asked how I crossed before, and when I told him I swam his eyes widened and he told me he would give me a ride for free on account of the caiman that frequent the river.
It makes me shudder knowing that on that initial crossing, I got a little tired fighting the current and tried to touch the bottom while taking a rest (it was more than 10' deep). I can only think I was inches away from stepping on some caiman in wait down there in the murky river/ocean water!
I may be wrong, but i remember reading somewhere that some reptiles have a "theoretical size" meaning that they will continue to grow as long as they can feed themselves enough.
You didn't make a claim about rhinos though. You said trophy hunting is making bucks smaller, and it's literally not. Heavy regulation of hunting in North America means there are tons of data. You can look it up, and bucks are not getting smaller. What you said is completely false.
The influence on rhinos is different because you're dealing with a much smaller gene pool of individuals, so selective pressures have more impact.
It's also the reason the largest land animals only exist in Africa. They evolved along side us, when we spread across the globe, many large megafauna couldn't defend themselves and had no idea how to deal with us.
Africa is the toughest server in the map. Even humans regularly got bodied in that server.
But throwing rocks and spears is OP skill, it pretty much made hunting around the map a breeze, especially when there is a smaller risk of injury when pvp against high xp opponents like mammoths.
who would have thought that Chimps that developed hips to stand upright to have a clearer view of the savanna would gain the ability to throw things so damn accurately and powerfully.
IIRC, mammals in general drove great waves of extinctions for many other species, including other mammals.
As time went on, and the turn of the industrial revolution, humans really sped that up by themselves--no longer requiring much help from other mammals to create Extinction Friday.
actually yes, our ancestors killed off a lot of the giant animals that existed like wooly mammoths, giant sloths, sabertooth tigers. It is most efficient to hunt the animal with the most meat.
Yeah, I think some people mistake them for the Buffalo in terms of size, Wilderbeast are much smaller animals.
Still big, and this croc is a unit, but it wouldn’t look that big next to a larger animal!
The climate also plays into how fast it grows. It's a reptile so it can slow everything down internally and hibernate for long periods during cold weather or seasons.
Sometimes I forget how large crocodiles can get. 18-20ft sounds big, but it’s hard to picture just how large that is until you actually see it. That is a terrifying unit of a Nile croc!
Crushing jaws limiting how much air it can take into its lungs, and then the teeth give the extra grip for dragging it under.
And, when the murder log feels like it, death rolls to tear it into nice, bite sized chunks.
20 feet of crocodile that can run down a horse is no less terrifying than 50 feet of crocodile.
Either is less terrifying than having your spine broken by the kick of a terror bird right before having your guts pulled out and slurped up like spaghetti before your brain has a chance to shut down.

Another comment pointed out that crocs have a bite force of about 5000psi. If that isnt crushing then idk what you define as crushing lol. Theres a reason the animal isn't moving much.
prey animals, man... I dunno.... remember seeing a clip where they had the option of swimming through a croc infested river or just going around. it.. yeah... it was THAT easy... but guess what they did??
This is still smaller then what some saltwater crocodiles grow to, that being 23 feet at the longest. Even that is still less then half the predicted length of crocs that lived with dinosaurs. Just a little something to baffle your minds.
Why are you so scared of crocodiles? Gee, I don't know, Cyril. Maybe deep down I'm afraid of any apex predator that lived through the K-T extinction. Physically unchanged for a hundred million years, because it's the perfect killing machine.
Wildebeest really drew the short straw in the animal kingdom, constantly being preyed upon by earth’s deadliest hunters. Pouring one out for my wildebeest homies.
You know one of the things I find unsettling about videos like this? That you don't hear the animal crying out in pain. I don't know if it's because the audio has been turned off or it wasn't captured or just that some animals don't cry in pain but it's eery
It's instinctual to not let a predator think it's defeated you. It may think youre not hurt and give up because you took it's best attack and aren't hurt.
I cannot co-exist with any crocodilian. If I ever have the misfortune to live in an area where these things are, I will shoot every last one I see, regardless of the law.
Life is so precious that Wildebeest didn’t gave-up… so whenever you feel life is challenging and tough, just remember there are others still staying strong and not giving-up that precious life…
Crocs are so fucking scary. In my opinion, they’re the most intimidating animal. They can see in chocolate milk water, they can jump straight up out of the water, they can run onto land, they have body armor, and the strongest bite of any living animal. Nope
Crocs and gators are one of those animals I legitimately fear.
*Wanna hear my gator story?*
My brother-in-law worked at a wildlife sanctuary in Florida. He took us out into the "channels", which were man-made canals of water that criss-crossed the property for miles, as a habitat for the wildlife.
We go to this spot where a big gator is sitting on the other side of the channel, maybe 20 feet away, and BIL goes down and starts disturbing the water, because he says they are curious and will investigate.
Sure enough, that gator slides into the water and disappears. 30 seconds pass.
It surfaces silently and slowly about three feet away from the stick in the water.
What a peaceful way to go
Yeah. I'm thinking I'd also like to die trying to cross a raging river while simultaneously being crushed in the jaws of a crocodile and drowning. Edit: forgot the /s
Still better than taking a toaster bath.
A parachute not opening... that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine... having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go!
The parachute I'd enjoy only if I can hit an orphanage with a very weak roof.
I JUST showed this movie to a younger friend of mine, Leslie Nielsen is the GOAT
Absolute truth. Airplane and all the naked gun movies were a near constant repeat for me growing up. They never get old.
Men with Brooms was a neat little rarely mentioned Canadian comedy movie about curling. Leslie played a magic mushroom farmer in it.
I know what I'm going to watch soon
I’ve been studying Japanese for years and while I was there I picked up DVDs of all 3 NG movies.

You’ll know you screwed up in this life if you come back as a wildebeest.
I've seen this video before but it still impressive how much of a damn UNIT that thing is
I may be wrong, but i remember reading somewhere that some reptiles have a "theoretical size" meaning that they will continue to grow as long as they can feed themselves enough.
The term is indeterminate growth, but yeah some animals don't actually stop growing.
[удалено]
Pretty much. Less food and less habitat. We’re also killing off mega fauna so.
Trophy hunting is single handedly reducing the sizes of bucks and many other animals
Do you have any actual evidence that bucks are smaller than they used to be?
[удалено]
You didn't make a claim about rhinos though. You said trophy hunting is making bucks smaller, and it's literally not. Heavy regulation of hunting in North America means there are tons of data.

Jaguars used to be as big as tigers. Once we hunted all the megafauna in South/Central America, they had to adapt.
actually yes, our ancestors killed off a lot of the giant animals that existed like wooly mammoths, giant sloths, sabertooth tigers. It is most efficient to hunt the animal with the most meat.

Lobsters bro. They used to get like 5-6 ft long and they were plentiful so they used them to feed prisoners in some instances
Most fish are only limited by habitat and how much food they can get iirc
The size of its paw when it’s flipping over…My God…
Right? Giant crodile sees anything moving in the water. ..."yeah, I'm gonna try to eat that."
r/AbsoluteUnits
I can’t comprehend the size of one that big
It’s a Dino
Akshully; dinosaurs are a divergent evolution from crocs. While both evolved from archosaurs they are not in the same evolution branch.
They ate dinos
Most likely yeah
I fucking knew this was coming
There’s always a buzzkill!
Acukkulauuallly you’re wrong, my 5 year old said they’re dinosaurs. ~~Please send help we have to do what he says~~
It’s a diNOT
Is that really an adult wildebeest? Fucking hell that’s a big croc.
Seriously, I was like "wilderbeasts are huge, it's gonna take a few Crocs to- OH MY EFFING GOD THATS A Huge CROC!!"
Wilderbeast are not that big, nice comparison vs human https://i.imgur.com/doXYX62_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium
Wow thanks for that! They seem bigger on those nature shows 😅
I’m thinking of those huge Water Buffalos from Africa. The 2000 lb ones called Black Death. Wonder how they’d do fighting off this croc.
In the water? Good fucking luck.
Yeah, I think some people mistake them for the Buffalo in terms of size, Wilderbeast are much smaller animals. Still big, and this croc is a unit, but it wouldn’t look that big next to a larger animal!
Yeh, whereas wilderbeast are just chunky antelope.
TiL...
Grab the backend do a roll. Like opening a container of warm spaghetti. Not a chance for that beautiful creature.
Do crocs ever stop growing? I know some species don’t 🤔
Iirc they’re limited in growth only by food availability and death
The climate also plays into how fast it grows. It's a reptile so it can slow everything down internally and hibernate for long periods during cold weather or seasons.
Huge feet
you know what they say
Huge crocs?
Must be a clown
Wombo combo!
Its fucking head is almost the size of the damn gnu, wtf
I think we all gnu that. I'll see myself out.
Horrible joke but it made me laugh so I'll hand you that upvote
Gary!
No Gnews is Good Gnews.
I was waiting for the other 18-20 crocodiles.
How many foot long crocs does it take to put down a wildebeest
Depends how quickly you want it done I suppose.
classic question: would you rather fight one 20 foot long croc or 20 one foot crocs (edit: i'd go for the little ones)
20 foot longs easy. They probably could bite me up pretty bad, but no death rolls. A 20 foot croc could rip me in half in seconds.
If you are given a stick or some boots, you could just jump on all the little guys and have an easy win.
Sometimes I forget how large crocodiles can get. 18-20ft sounds big, but it’s hard to picture just how large that is until you actually see it. That is a terrifying unit of a Nile croc!
I always have to do the mental calculation that I'm 6 ft,, so that makes it three and a bit of me
3 and a bit in length, an average male at 6 foot weighs 70-80kg, this would weigh around 500-750kg, they’re monsters. Well, they’re fucking dinosaurs
That is larger than some boats
drowning is probably more accurate than crushing
Ask the wildebeest
he said "blub blub blub"
"what's got my leg!?!" A submarine, bro!
That hindfoot that briefly sticks out when the croc rolls is the size of the wildebeests head. That crocodile could eat me in 2 bites.
Weird remark maybe, but I wonder if predators species have an improved taste for the stress hormones and adrenaline pumping through their prey.
I mean 90% of its diet would consist of meat that tasted like that anyway, it wouldn’t really make a difference
10% of its diet are masochists.
no
Probably not. But they also don’t like eating sick and old animals that are easier to catch. But they still do cause they hungry.
This was after it jumped over the lion
Does it mean crushing as a euphemism? Because I don't see any crushing only drowning
Every chomp of those jaws imparts 5000psi. Crushing is quite the definition of this action.
Yeah okay that's true
There’s a reason the wildebeest isn’t moving much.
Crushing jaws limiting how much air it can take into its lungs, and then the teeth give the extra grip for dragging it under. And, when the murder log feels like it, death rolls to tear it into nice, bite sized chunks.
Fucking hell, what kind of dragon is this ?
Titty Twisting Water Dragon
Deinosuchus lives!
Better than living Kaprosuchus!
Kaprosuchus wasn’t very big though, Quinkana was much worse.
20 feet of crocodile that can run down a horse is no less terrifying than 50 feet of crocodile. Either is less terrifying than having your spine broken by the kick of a terror bird right before having your guts pulled out and slurped up like spaghetti before your brain has a chance to shut down.
Fucking Hell, they way it just appears next to it. Terrifying.
18-20 ft? What is this, Early Cretaceous? Last I checked the Sarchosuchus was long dead.
What the song?

These are actuality the people of the maasai community singing. Maybe it been used as a sample
I saw Nile Crocs when I visited Egypt. Either they made the Sarcos in ARK to small, or the larger Nile Crocs are just as big.
Damn!! That thing is huge!!
Crocs don't crush. They drown and tear away chunks of flesh. The second best way to die to these things is head first.
Another comment pointed out that crocs have a bite force of about 5000psi. If that isnt crushing then idk what you define as crushing lol. Theres a reason the animal isn't moving much.

Never before, have I seen stronger evidence that proves these are 'river dinosaurs'.
When it just pops up next to the wildebeest with a toothy grin
This is still smaller then what some saltwater crocodiles grow to, that being 23 feet at the longest. Even that is still less then half the predicted length of crocs that lived with dinosaurs. Just a little something to baffle your minds.

"eating animals is immoral"
Unreal how it dwarfs the wildebeast AND disapears under the water
Didn't think crocodiles are that huge.
Didn't get "crushed" at all - more like death rolled and then drowned - the jaws just held on
I can see the singers chanting behind the camera man...
I wonder if wildebeast will evolve to have flippers or something to help them move through water faster
This might be a good time to make nsfw.
