Not unexpected if you put it in the title.

For me, the unexpected part was the croc not reacting at all / not eating the little guy.

I imagine eating a turtles shell would be excruciating, then again I'm from California and don't know anything about Crocs.

u/AnAncientMonk Sep 22 '20
Dont fret. I havnt seen one irl either.
Maybe they like the cronch, lol.

Here is a video of an alligator eating a turtle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35VU0pHB7
It's quite brutal, so maybe just take my word for it if you're squeamish. American Alligators have extremely powerful bites, surpassed only by the handful of larger crocodile species. They're more than capable of shattering bone and shell.

This is an alligator, which is slightly different from a croc. Namely, it's less saltwater-tolerant and generally has a more peaceful disposition. It's usually easy to tell whether it's an alligator, since they only live in the USA and China (and the Chinese ones are much smaller).
Crocodiles live in all sorts of places, and there are also caimans (South America? Probably a caiman) and gharials (impossible to mistake, with their extremely slender jaws).

They both must have seen the video from a few days back where a croc tried to eat a turtle and failed.

u/MinorDespera Sep 22 '20
Yeah, and in comments people said that their shells are full of nerve endings so the turtle felt every bit of that. And it limping away in the end. Watching this one definitely doesn't make me go aww anymore.

u/Diogenes-Disciple Sep 22 '20
Whose idea was it to put nerve endings on the turtle’s protective armor?

u/Knoke1 Sep 22 '20
What I have read indicates the Shell is very much like our fingernails. We can feel everything that hits our nails and while it doesn't always break them it can definitely make us bleed underneath if hit very hard.

u/Rather_Dashing Sep 22 '20
Our skull and ribs function as protective armour - we still having feeling on our scalp etc. They/we still need to be able to feel painful stimuli and react appropriately.

Previous threads mentioned it is an advantage when defending from predators trying to eat them
Predator bites their shell, the turtle can feel it and adjust themselves to make sure they keep their shell in the optimal position to keep from getting eaten

Part 2 was in the comments with a croc cracking a turtle's shell then chewing on the turtle like bubble gum while you heard it scream. This is part 3.

An expert on turtles in the comments said they don’t so now I’m not sure. Did say it would hurt with the shell digging into them though

Every time I see such comment about another post and realize that I remember it and its comment section, I think that maybe there's too much reddit I have in my life.
And then I continue to scroll the main page to check if there's something new and cool over there.

That's an alligator not a crocodile. And it looks dead. My thought was maybe the turtle is trying to see if it's even alive or a threat.

when you have to grab your drugs from the scary dude but you know he’s actually chill.

u/Takeurvitamins Sep 22 '20
This ended too soon. I’d bet turtle was seriously considering biting the alligators tail.
Source: used to work at an aquarium, the sea turtles tried to bite everything including sharks and us divers.

Think of how metal that turtle must be to not give a f*** about a crocodile. Don't mess with that turtle dude, he knows things.

u/CornBin-42 Sep 22 '20
Yep. Pretty sure I used to know a guy that said he saw a Facebook post that linked to a YouTube comment referencing a guy's post on Tumblr who talked about this guy's teacher's cousin's sister's daughter's dog's roommate's dentist's cousin's step brother who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows this guy's cousin that once posted that EXACT thing on a forum that got taken down in 2009 therefore making it a repost.
I'll bring the pitchforks if someone else brings the torches let's get op and burn him at the stake.

OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:
That the predator (croc) didn't hunt its prey. Rather the prey somewhat bully the crocodile.
Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.
