Fuck people, man. I hope the croc doesn't get put down. What kind of fucking moron throws rocks at an actual dinosaur? The article didn't seem to say that the guy who got bit was one of the rock throwers, so I hope he's ok.

(Crocodilians are not, taxonomically, dinosaurs. Both are archosaurs, but dinosaurs are in a different intradivision of archosaurs. Either way, "fuck people, man.")

If you’re in a space where wild animals are present, always treat them with respect. Keep your distance, don’t feed them, and observe all signs and local laws. And this should go without saying, but apparently it needs to be repeated: Don’t throw rocks at them!

All this should go without saying. Tf is wrong with people?

It's not an attack it's self defense. I'm with the crocs

lol. Now I'm imagining the crocodile stewed on it for a few hours then went out to their home later that night, under the cover of darkness...
