FL: Crocodile Commotion

Short article, but gotta watch the video.

Funny Quotes:

"We are hostages in our homes."

"I've seen it crunch on a duck."

And get this:

"They (Acutus) are not as aggresive as alligators."

But they really aren't as aggressive as alligators. Acutus is actually a very timid crocodilian, and tends to avoid people moreso than alligators do.

No kidding??? The one I saw tried (harder than the niles) to kill the guys w/ that were attempting to trim some weeds in the enclosure. Of course that wasn't in the wild.

Anyone else experience them being less aggressive than gators?

Or them "crunching" a duck, lol.

Well, captives can be a different story, but generally, wild ones are less agressive and terribly shy. They're one of the more reclusive crocs.
