Crocodile or Monitor Lizard?
I was so caught up in trying to tell folks crocs don’t actually do this I didn’t even realize this probably isn’t a croc in the video. It’s more than likely a monitor lizard. The toes are too far apart and long. Croc on the left monitor on the right https://t.co/wHeRoMYqN2 pic.twitter.com/ewNhhIu37E

Show Proof?
Ok, can someone please provide PROOF of at least ONE case where a crocodile lured a human into the water like this… something tells me that’s not what they’re doing, but I could be wrong 💁🏾♂️
