The Southeast U.S.A and Japan have very similar climates, so I've read at least, why doesn't Japan have any kind of alligators?

>>212362545
>The Southeast U.S.A and Japan have very similar climates

>>212362481

>>212362426 (OP)

>>212362454
They have slow metabolisms and don't produce enough body heat. The reptilian FEARS the snowflake.

>>212362493

>arrigatah dericious meat good
This, but not ironically. Can't speak for the soy sauce part THOUGH

>>212364125
for you

>>212362582
The US area on the map that have crocodiles is hot and humid as fuck.

>>212362573
Central and Southern Japan does have the same climate as the Southeastern US.

Isn’t alligators just the pussy version of based crocs?

Gators aren't even the only reptilian monster that slumbers under the ice during the winters here

>>212362582
And while we're talking about weird things, did you know the Aztec Empire stretched up into the middle of the US? There are Aztec ruins in Illinois.

>europeans have never seen a crocodilian in there lifes

>>212362531
Same for most Italian predators I bet

>>212362426 (OP)
we got 40+ million

>>212362454
They do, they’re called birds

>>212364674
Are we missing anything? They don't seem to be very interesting animals, they kinda just stand around and wait for their prey to come to them.
>>212364817
It depends, the italian wolf is doing really well but others, like the marsican brown bear, are on their way out
At least we don't turn them into aphrodisiacs.

>>212362426 (OP)
I still can't believe that the biggest crocodile is like 6 meters / 20 ft, that boi big af.

If you rev a loud motor or engine near any body of water they're in every single male will rear his body out of the water and bellow to challenge you

>>212365058
so there are gators tailing every motorboat if its slow enough?

>>212362531
>At least we don't turn them into aphrodisiacs.
That just means you abandoned your traditional cultural practices to fit in

>>212363827
We call ours 'buaya'. This name is highly conserved in the region's languages and for a good reason.

>>212365101
No, gators flee if there's a large object near them in the water, they just react with bellowing if there's something loud that kinda sounds like another gator bellowing nearby. They're surprisingly passive and not extremely prone to internecine aggression within their own pounds. They resolve their differences by bellowing at each other.
