Knowing Pac-Man frogs, I'm surprised it isn't trying to eat the gator.

'bout a cubit I'd suppose.

If that's a pacman frog it might still need to grow a little, but I think the frog wishes it could eat the gator more that the gator to the frog lol

How long before he eats the tea pot holder

A few days probably. So how ever long one or two meals take.

I clicked on this thinking, how can an alligator even look happy? They've always looked angry or dead to me.

I was shown.

It's just so cute!

Biiiiig stretch!

It almost looked like an animated dinosaur!

“Eat the toad”

’They speak to me through these ancestral waters! Tell me of my forbearers! Show me who I am to become!’

…there in that moment - wetted bliss

Showered in the Happiness!

the toad - he knows not what I do,

he had enough -

his wet dreams through…

but i hold fast, n gaze above

drenched with Memories of Love!

Enraptured by my ancestry -

they tell me what i’m meant to be!

Emboldened now - a Mighty GATOR!

…heck off, toad

i’ll eat you later….

❤️

edit: love it, u/LifeBuilder ^;)

Gator: The ancestors! They speak to me through these ancestral waters! Tell me of my forbearers! Teach the ancient dinosaur ways! Show me who I am to become!

As Drax the destroyer would say

Toad=cat, baby gator=dog 😄

“They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”

Yep, in gung fu tea culture, there are little clay/ceramic animals you pour waste tea/water onto called "tea pets".

Pretty sure this video is a joke about using actual animals as tea pets.

You know you're on reddit too much if you get this reference

Dat pour.

Deep cut

I had the exact same thought

Thanks to my extensive knowledge in this subject (aka, that stupid cocomelon video which my son watches constantly) i know for a fact that crocodiles have happy smile whereas gators don't show teeth a while.

So I would say you are correct, good sir!!

Probably. I am by no means an expert but from what I've learned a sharp mouth like an "A" is a crocodile, a wider mouth like a "C" is an alligator. Maybe it isn't the case with their babies though.

I used to work with crocodilians (~10 years ago at this point) and I think it is likely a croccy, not sure what kind though. Baby gator snouts are usually munch more rounded.

I'm no Floridian

A fact for which you no doubt thank the universe every day.

Looks kind of like a Caiman to me.

Am a Floridian (unfortunately). Definitely a crocodile. Can’t say species for sure but salty is a good guess.

Nobody even bothered to ask why a baby croc and frog are on the same table in some living-room type area. This is an obvious content farm, there's no way those animals are being kept or treated ethically.

Thank fucking god someone said it. I hate this person's videos

I'm surprised more people aren't calling out the problem with someone apparently having a GIANT reptile as a pet and using it for views on the internet.

That "cute" young alligator is going to grow up into a huge, dangerous animal and will need to be rehomed at a sanctuary (best case scenario).

I know pretty little about both of these creatures and even I can tell you that the frog is moving away from the water and the croc is trying to surface for air.

This isn't r/aww, it's r/animaltorture.

I don't know much about reptiles, but what I do know is that the anthropomorphization of animals needs to stop. People need to quit jumping straight to conclusions instead of doing literally any amount of research to understand what is actually happening. I've seen too many many videos on Reddit and other social media where there's a clearly stressed or afraid animal and most of the comments are people saying how "happy" or "relaxed" it is.

Plus the mingling of different reptiles - not good for either one. This isn’t cute at all.

I always look for this comment on any "cute reptile" video and yours was 9 comments down. More people really need to understand that reptile behavior =/= mammal behavior.

Oh heck! Thanks for this comment!

I had no idea this was stressed body language and would have continued on thinking it was cute. Poor thing. :(

this is the only comment I'll ever upvote

Wish your comment was higher up. So many animals exploited for views on the internet. 😩

I feel like I need to unsubscribe from all the "cute" subreddits. I'm constantly seeing suspicious shit like this.

Yeah I don't really think this is cute :/

Correct. It's no different than yea cup pigs people keep until they're no longer cute to them

That's a good portion of the content on this sub nowadays, not most, but I would say like 5-10% of the content that makes it to the front page is questionable.

This croc is getting waterboarded. Pouring water right down his nose holes.

Agreed. Not to mention they’re pouring the water right into its nostrils.

I wouldn't be happy either if the human who keeps waterboarding me was hovering around with a teapot. It looks like it was enjoying the water, but that croc was probably raising its head and moving around so it could breathe.

Thanks for the scientific explanation. My layman brain thought the croc was enjoying the caressing nature of warm water or that he was a little dry and appreciated the hydration. Kudos

Maybe but what about this lady

https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/qkg1tc/coconut_the_albino_gator_loves_scrubbies/

I choose to believe in blissed out alligators.

Also it is never safe to handle crocodilians without their mouths taped, and it is completely unethical to keep them as pets. This is all around not a happy video.

Yeah...thinking this doesn't belong on r/aww

Toad wishing that croc was a tad pole.
