Re: Steve Irwin He's Not
The reason even lions are afraid of gators is NOT the bite,(Although I'm sure a chomp really hurts) it's the fact that gator mouths are so filthy, that their victims often die not from the bite, but from the terrible infection. There is long-rotting meat in those teeth. You may as well take a bite out of one of HermanShocker's long dead bloat victims. Your mouth might even be cleaner with them than what's in a alligator's mouth. |

Re: Steve Irwin He's Not
Remember a case from way back, one got a woman by the leg, her rescuers had a hold of her arms, why it never went into a death roll, i cannot remember, it was stalemate for a very long time, eventually they got her free, the bite itself was survivable, but the infection from the bite its self took her life eventually.. |

Re: Steve Irwin He's Not
Yeah, I first heard about the dangers of an alligator's mouth when I was 8 and visiting Florida and went to see a guy who wrassled alligators. He was the first to tell me that, and when I checked later, what he said was true. Alligator and Crocodile mouths are totally putrid. Q. Do you know how to tell the difference between an alligator and a crocodile? A. A crocodile you'll only see in a while, while if it's an alligator you'll only see them later. |

I love Komodo dragons, only until recently they thought the same thing of their mouths, until they did test, turns out they are venomis, as well as the rancid mouth... |

Re: Steve Irwin He's Not
We have Gila monsters down here in Tucson, but fortunately, they are not aggressive at all. I assume their mouths are just as foul. I see them occasionally, but am glad they are around, as they eat insects and small animals such as mice. Also they are VERY pretty, with orange and yellow colorations. I never approach them, because I understand they have a "ratchet mouth" which means once they clamp onto something, (like your weiner, perhaps!) you can't pry their mouth open until they want to release. I have heard of people who got bit by them, and killed the Gila monster, and then couldn't get them off, and wound up with the hospital ER using a set of bolt cutters to sever the jaw to get the person's hand free. Luckily it wasn't their weiner. |

Re: Steve Irwin He's Not
Aside from hippopotamuses that kill 10-15 people at a time when they ram and overturn boats with people that can't swim, crocodiles (especially salt water species) are the #1 killer of humans in the world of the animal kingdom. Dude was dumb as a box of dildoes to go swimming with gators |
