I nearly fell for the same trick at UL-L. No way they’d let live gators hang around on campus I thought.
There's quite a few of them too. And snapping turtles.

I watched some reaction videos of people that are croc handlers. They said the most common question they get is if the crocs are fake

Emergency responders rushed to wrap his bleeding wounds and took him to the hospital, where he received over 50 stitches.
He is very lucky. That ain’t shite compared to what could have happened.

Poor croc, instead of being able to brag to his friends by telling a really cool story about how he got his pinoy boots, he’s stuck with telling a story about how they got away.

I’ve seen some big ones at Everglades National Park…
And I swear the first time I saw it sitting by the docks, I didn’t think it was real. It sat there motionless forever, and when dried out it looks like a concrete statue.

The important question is
Did he get the selfie?

How TF do you mistake a real crocodile for a statue... At a zoo?
True story, April 3, 2025, National Zoo, Washington DC, as you enter the Amazon section there is a croc laying outside within feet of the public. As we are standing in a line of around 15 people, the line was fixated on this thing curious as to it being real or fake as it never moved, blinked or anything. Banter ensued, friendly bets made and lots of peeks back to see if it was gonna move or not, real of not. After 15 minutes or so has passed and our group is just about to enter the exhibit, finally, seemingly out of nowhere, the croc simply rises and begins walking after an extended period of time of being gazed upon and never once giving a hint of movement. The line was quite boisterous in showing its appreciation for its uncanny being still skills. Everyone was fooled and resolved that it had to be a statue. It was quite impressive.
Point being, they can fool you and never have a staring contest with a croc. They're masters.
