Why do people here not want to accept facts?

Around a week ago I posted asking about where the largest crocodiles lived NOW, not where they used to live. I was seeking the responses of the people on this sub who actually work with crocodilians, and someone said the largest confirmed was from the Philippines. This is wrong. The largest confirmed specimen was from Papua New Guinea. I stated that fact and a whole group of people started downvoting my comment, calling me names and saying I was wrong, just for correcting them. So, I ask of you, why are you like this?

Petting American Alligators

This girl (Kileigh.Rose) on tiktok is going viral and getting followers after her and her little brunette friend went to SILVER RIVER (Ocala, FL) and harassed multiple large alligators. In the wake of MULTIPLE alligator deaths this year and at the end of mating season is actually insane. The alligators these girls are harassing are large and they will retaliate eventually. I’m still flabbergasted that I even witnessed them rowing up alongside gators and petting them. I have reported this to the FWC (as I’m sure others have as well) and it’s fairly simple to fill out their online reporting form.

What are you guys’ thoughts? As a Floridian, born and raised, NOPE. I do want to pet the cute swamp puppies, but I do not for everyone’s safety.

Questions Regarding Black Caimans

Hello,

I have been looking through information regarding black caimans, but there seems to be problems or inconsistencies about their average and max size, bite force, and how they compare to american alligators? I would appreciate the clarification. However, I came across a 2022 work by conservation international with scientist involved claiming they recorded a 18.7 ft (5.7 m) black caiman from a population survey they conducted in Colombia and this threw me for a loop becuase I never heard of this size for this species before that was supposedly "scientifically verified". I emailed them if they had evidence of this specimen and waiting for an answer, but I wanted to know yalls thoughts.

The image is mine, it's slightly edited to improve quality, but I took it when I was in Ecuador. The guide said it was a 2 to 3m black caiman. Just wanted to share it.

Crocodiles in the open sea and deep diving

Crocodiles are not entirely aquatic but they still are good swimmers and can be seen in the open sea near coastlines. But I wonder if evolution had gotten them more webbed feet like ducks and they had webbed tails as well. Would they then be able to be out in the open sea like sea turtles?
