“The incredible thing is that, size aside, crocodiles truly represent living fossils. Their ancestors, the so-called Mesosuchians, lived about 200 million years ago alongside dinosaurs, and weren’t very different from today’s crocodiles,” a second person stated.

Crocodile encounters in the United States rarely make the news.
Unfortunately, residents in Indonesian villages have to deal with them all the time.
Back in 2023, it was reported that the world’s crocodile attack capital had seen 450 people stalked and eaten alive by 26-foot beasts lurking in the water.
More than 1,000 people had been attacked in the last decade, per reports from that time.
A croc killed 15-year-old Farjan Idham, and his body wouldn’t be found for days.
The Indonesian archipelago is home to 14 crocodile types, leading to many interactions with humans.
