All the same, Ba does not live in Florida or in the New York sewers, so where would he get an alligator from ?

Ebay's reptile section maybe?

Hell Ba's dad probably lives closer to alligators than my dad does to crocodiles. He lives in the south the crocs are in the north and there is a very big whack of very empty space in the middle.

Red your paltry efforts to talk up the intelligence of alligators over crocs is laughable. ha ha ha.

Spiky, your rebuttal has much to be desired. I used scientific proof in showing how much better alligators are to crocs, but you just use name calling and weak replies. If the difference is so laughable, then please tell me how so that I may know and therefore be a much more enlightened and intelligent person. Until then, alligators are the undisputed champions of reptile intelligence and crocs are just that. A crock.

If Spiky's father isn't afraid of crocodiles, why is he hiding from them?

going back to this thread's original topic...

holy blue bananas! what an experience.

i don't think there's much more i can say about that.

wow.

Ha I don't have to come up with pitiful misinformed speculations I just have to go to wikipedia:

Intelligence


Head of a Crocodylus porosus


Dr. Adam Britton, a researcher with Big Gecko, has been studying crocodilian intelligence. In so doing, he has composed a collection of Australian saltwater crocodile calls, and associated them with behaviors. His position is that, while crocodilian brains are much smaller than those of mammals (as low as 0.05% in the saltwater crocodile), they are capable of learning hard tasks with very little conditioning. He also infers that the crocodile calls hint at a deeper language ability than currently accepted. He suggests that saltwater crocodiles are smart, clever animals that can possibly learn faster than lab rats.

Saltwater Crocodile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And Ba my dad is not hiding from the crocodiles it can't be hiding when all you've got between you and certain death is geography.

2,000 kilometers worth of geography sounds like hiding to Ba.

And that research is sadly lacking insofar as it's being conducted in Australia, where the deficient crocodilians live. If they really wanted to learn about reptilian intelligence, they should have conducted their research in the US.

Hear, hear. I cannot add anything to what Ba has just said, so I will retire from this debate. May my god have mercy on your soul. (You might want to burn a small pastry to please him.)

Great video - beter than some of the wildlife programs with 'super cool' presenters. However those two were pretty cool to stay out as long.

Me - I would have hightailed it out of there - those fish are just to big to paw about!

My father is not hiding from the crocs. He's hiding from idiots like this



And I just wish to add that the US isn't the centre of the universe there is a whole world outside of the US that is just as legitimate, interesting and worthy of research as that which goes on within your own small borders. I know this goes against the grain of everything that you've ever been taught, such as world history, Christopher Columbus, the Boston tea party to 9/11, but the animal kingdom doesn't care that you think you're the only country on earth they'll live where they damn well please and strangelt most of them don't live in the US...

Of course there are animals outside of these borders. Naturally, not every animal could be good enough to be American native fauna. Some couldn't make the cut, like those foolish little crocodiles of Spiky's.

who are you calling little, buddy? Unless Ba has suddenly become 6 metres long (or whatever antiquated measuring system you happen to be using) you should be more respecful of animals that are bigger than you are and that can eat you all in one go.

That video is incredible, Spiky! I'd have been absolutely terrified, especially every time one of them moved under the boat.

A crocodile would not dare. Even crocodiles are not so foolish as to attempt to eat Ba. Their primitive brains are still powerful enough to recognize the threat.
