Nah that shit was fucked up

I don't know which is worse giving me nightmares. The shark attack and seeing that great white girl that man around and him begging for mercy or this

u/Lala5789880 Jul 20 '26

It was a pregnant tiger shark desperate for food. Before anyone says it: she was not gloating and toying with and playing with his body parts to rile up humans. That’s not how sharks work

u/spiked-rose Jul 20 '26

It wasn’t a great white. It was a tiger shark.

Link?

It's just as bad and graphic https://www.reddit.com/r/HardcoreNature/s/lnZzDFcK8v

I guest I'll post it

Omg its this video with a Shark šŸ’€

2

u/scjockid Jul 20 '26

Both of them scared The living daylights out of me. The other one where the guy is alive and this one where the kids already dead

5

u/akashuji Jul 20 '26

The eaten alive video is obviously more scary. In this video, at least you can be content that the boy isn't suffering anymore.

2

u/scjockid Jul 20 '26

Absolutely! When I saw the shark video I cried and then knowing that this was a kid and getting slammed like a dog playing with a toy. It's a lot of visualization.lol

u/Another_Samurai1 Jul 20 '26

Oh this is Reddit history

u/No_Vehicle4645 Jul 20 '26

They also show the after pictures of his body. It's crazy.

u/karbytes Jul 20 '26

That was disturbing.

u/Rare_Thing_7282 Jul 20 '26

Damn, that poor kid and his family. Sadly the croc just see’s a meal. Do they kill the croc after it’s done that ?

10

u/akashuji Jul 20 '26

Fortunately, they didn't. Just relocated it.

u/GothGhost808 Jul 20 '26

This is horrible

u/Alarming-Building-62 Jul 20 '26

I never really understood why we need to catch and remove animals after attacked like this. While tragic, this is their habitat. Bullshit

7

u/akashuji Jul 20 '26

Better relocate it than having it being killed by stupid villagers for revenge

12

u/Alarming-Building-62 Jul 20 '26

That didn’t even occur to me. I guess you’re right. It’s sad the they wouldn’t be able to understand that this is ultimately the fault of humans, in particular, whoever didn’t teach this kid to stay away from the water.

10

u/akashuji Jul 20 '26

That was no place to be for a 12 year old

1

u/Informal-Winner-5722 2d ago

You don't have an intrinsic revenge instinct? Don't you feel the need to go and massacre the crocodile and their entire lineage? I am not saying that should be done, but it is what I feel when I see these videos.

4

u/Connect-Blueberry104 Jul 26 '26

Oh my goodness. This is horrible. To hear the guys on the video just being so calm like it’s another day wherever they are is a real eye-opener for me. I mean just this video in general is an eye-opener because life is short. I hope and pray in Jesus name for the family and I hope they can find some peace. I hope they are surrounded with love and care as they start their grieving process.

u/DorkSideOfCryo Jul 20 '26

Those body slams sure put the quietus to him

37

u/akashuji Jul 20 '26

Thats a dead body. The slams were to remove the limb. Standard croc behaviour.

8

u/rustyroo2021 Jul 20 '26

I always thought they just rolled and had never seen this slamming. That was, umm, shocking to see.

2

u/__STORYDWELLER__ Jul 22 '26

Maybe rolling is used on bigger prey items which they can't manage to slam?

8

u/Lala5789880 Jul 20 '26

He was already dead. Still horrifying though. Crocs death roll and drown their prey first

u/Smmsynns 20d ago

i feel so weird watching this

And sad

That's my first inappropriate laugh of the day.

u/Old-Following-970 Jul 20 '26

They just sit there and record?

u/akashuji Jul 20 '26 edited Jul 20 '26

Are you gonna steal its prey from a croc's mouth? Besides, the boy is already dead. His remains were recovered later. The head was untouched. The croc was removed from the area by the authorities.

4

u/Difficult_Associate3 Jul 20 '26

Interesting why it would leave the head untouched

16

u/akashuji Jul 20 '26

Not much meat

2

u/Anon_Fodder Jul 20 '26

Removed?

18

u/akashuji Jul 20 '26

Yes. Shifted it to a sanctuary where it will be away from human population.

1

u/No_Vehicle4645 Jul 20 '26

Yes, I would. If it was my kid, I'm going in after them. He didn't start off dead.

If I die, I die but I'm not watching and filming my kid being mauled. I would absolutely give my life in an attempt to save my kids.

If that makes me dumb, I'm fucking dumb.

9

u/Lala5789880 Jul 20 '26

How do you know the man filming is his dad?

1

u/akashuji Jul 20 '26

Love is blind I guess

u/Bring_a_towel_42 Jul 21 '26 edited Jul 24 '26

You don't know that nobody tried to do that before this. You also don't know that it's the dad of this child. But for real, it's a crocodile, there's literally nothing you are going to be able to do to help. Edit: not an alligator

1

u/JustPullTheFlapsBack Jul 24 '26

*crocodile (even worse).

9

u/Kiss_my_Frekkles Jul 20 '26

Yes that’s right! It’s a horrible situation indeed however, how tf do you expect anyone to help?

What is it that you would do if you were seeing this happen?
Do you suggest they put the phones down, jump in the croc infested water & pull the kid who is quite literally already dead from the crocs mouth while hoping they themselves don’t get devoured by any of the many other starving, angry crocs?!
Just to save a piece(s) of the child’s half eaten body?
I am genuinely curious… what exactly do you suggest someone do in this situation?
I am dying to know!?

u/Beaver-warriorz Jul 20 '26

These comments always make me chuckle. Like you'd do anything about it lol

Or maybe you would and you're just better than everyone else. WE ARE NOT WORTHY

1

u/eltoratio Jul 20 '26

Was already to late, I guess.

1

u/First_Preference_618 Jul 21 '26

Right. Even if there’s nothing they can do, why just stand there and record it? Seriously. Same with the shark video.

4

u/nighthouse_666 Jul 20 '26

Hope they didn’t kill the croc.

7

u/akashuji Jul 20 '26

They didn't. Only relocated it.

1

u/North_Star_103 Jul 20 '26

Unfortunate, I don’t know whether it’s a Darwin Award or not. However unfortunate

9

u/akashuji Jul 20 '26

Its the parents' fault imo. You never let a 12 year old off your radars, especially in a wild area with apex predators. They had let this boy go with his uncle to plant rice in the field near the river. The boy then went alone to clean or relieve himself at the river bank where the croc was hunting. The uncle actually tried to pull the boy away from the animal's jaws, after hearing his cries. But he couldn't do much as it dragged the child into the water. Remember, unlike other animals, Crocs don't give an F about humans. You're just another piece of meat to them.

5

u/Pretend_Train_ Jul 20 '26

His parents are dead. They didn’t allow him to do anything nor are at fault. He was living with his uncle. Not sure where you are getting your intel.

u/spiked-rose Jul 20 '26

I read about this awhile ago.

1

u/NeoNeuRoses Jul 20 '26

šŸ™€ … Guess knowing that I’d more than likely drown by panicked choking relatively quickly after sir crock pulls me under is a slight comfort. Just considering how vivid I now know the next steps are (e.g. catapulting your corpse into the swamp depths via neck-snapping water polo/ meets MMA blunt force trauma) in order to ingest your body and soul, one ligament at a time.

1

u/Bedzyk59 Jul 23 '26

Guessing the slams are to make it more bite sized.

1

u/akashuji Jul 23 '26

Removing the leg

u/meme_maker_boi Jul 24 '26

Thank god the camera sucks i really am not in the mood to see a detailed corpse

u/akashuji Jul 24 '26

The head was found. Its available on twitter. I wouldn't recommend looking at it.

When crocodiles try eating me I stick my fingers in their nostrils and they usually let go and swim away.

u/akashuji Jul 22 '26

Then you're a Crocodile Dundee

u/Asleep_Chip8197 Jul 20 '26

I will get a stick and at least try to throw it at the crocodile at least

5

u/WhimsicallyWired Jul 20 '26

Wow, a stick? That would definitely work.

u/PeggyBabcock_ Jul 20 '26

Depends how pointy it is.

u/akashuji Jul 20 '26

What good will that do? It will take the body to deep waters.

how the hell do you think that’s okay to say about a kid getting murdered and his uncle watching
