Aren’t these guys supposed to be [relatively] slow-moving when they’re on land?
They can run up to 55 miles an hour, climb fences, and jump 2/3 of their body length straight up.
*11 miles an hour (still faster than you want to be chased by a bear trap on legs, I imagine!) Also, they jump like that out of the water, not on the ground.
But yeah don’t assume the adorable scale puppies dangerous apex predators are slow and safe just because they’re on land.
#this is super cute#I love alligators#animals#reptiles#crocodilians#adorable#but yeah that 55mph thing looked fishy so I had to do some googling#they don't usually chase prey#they're ambush predators#they can lunge the full length of their body in a quarter of a second but they can't keep up that pace
