A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Not to alarm anyone, but unless you're doing the 100m in around 11s or less, current large crocodiles are still faster than you. But if you're fit enough to keep the speed going, you should outlast them over short enough distance.
And if you can't do any of that, well you'll have to run lateral to it and hope your agility out maneouvers them.
Mythbusters tested whether it was better to zig zag or run straight away from a gator. Turns out, it doesn't matter, gators won't chase you.
They've spent hundreds of millions of years sitting in lakes waiting for food to step in their mouths. They deserve to be called sloths more than actual sloths.
Or that you have the adequate weapons on you, the knowledge and physical ability to use them properly.
chootem inna hed nah boa!
Serpentine!
Just so ya know, a regular modern day crocodile can also outrun you on land.
Yeah, but only because I'm American
Yeah but I would easily beat him in hurdles.
This is true. Or running serpentine:
"He only has a brain the size of a walnut."
Don't even get me started on the pole vault
A mighty steed!
You cannot prove that humans didn't ride these into battle.
Fun fact, the reason dragons appear in literally every culture that developed language came from people surviving horrific encounters with enormous crocodiles.
Wow, that is fun!
But is that a fact
(it's not)
hairy crocodile? artistic liberty?
Looks like they photoshopped a crocodile onto a bear
lol, i wasn't paying attention clearly
Gee, I wonder why those died out.
Yeah, who are they calling apex predator, take a look around.
More like ape-ex amirite
Can I pet that dawgg???
Yes but only once
Sure, li'l buddy! He's coming quick, so I'm just going to run over there to take a picture.
Yes, first you pet them on the outside, then you pet them on the inside.
Steve Irwin would still have fed them.
Crocodoggo! 😍
how is that not a dragon?
All those "dragon types" charts you see call this a drake. I don't really get that because drakes are ducks.
But according to those charts, ducks are wyverns...
I miss r/hybrid animals
Be the change you want to see.
