I'm not saying crocodiles aren't a threat don't get me wrong. I'm just saying they wouldn't waste too much time trying to chase a human around lol If it was a Human in the water. Then it would. Or if they're close to the water. The Crocodile would ambush and jump out grabbing the Human. |

Who here would dare to engage a boat trip on a river frequented by Deinosuchus 75 MYA ?

I doubt a 5-8t giant crocodilian would show interest in humans, it would most likely go after bigger prey. However there were more moderate-sized, tough still huge, specimens and taxa of giant crocodyliforms, which I agree would be perfect human-eating-machines.

Not me, I could iamgine these archosaurs would be much more dangerous to people in a boat than to ones swimming or standing near the shoreline. Maybe Black Ice, from some of the stories I heard the Deinosuchus would flee from him (that just had to be, sorry for the spam...) But I personally wouldn't want to take a boat trip on a normal african river frequented by hippos either. |

No animal would prey on me. My sexiness wouldn't allow it  I am the exception. |

However there were more moderate-sized, tough still huge, specimens and taxa of giant crocodyliforms, which I agree would be perfect human-eating-machines. Actually I think they would. Saltwater Crocodiles do eat small things like Fish, and Crabs. So we would be like those to Deinosuchus or any other large prehistoric Crocodilian. |

That's a good point. But they don't go after small terrestrial prey, do they?

No, I mean prey two orders of magnitude smaller. Do crocodilians attack animals 1/100 their own size on land?

The nile croc can prey on hand-sized fishes as well as zebra-sized preys. All is not related to the size, but to the level of opportunism and metabolism. Would you dare to approach a basking Deinosuchus ? |
