So did that goose escape the jaws of that croc?

It's an alligator & the pic is from the interweb not mine. I do have them that big behind my house; they breed in my backyard. Really cool to watch the courting behavior. Certain times of the year we get lots of baby gators. The 22 years I've lived here I've seen only 1 freshwater croc here, a 10 foot snaggletooth.

Hello; Back in the late 1950's a friend's father had a 1954 Cadillac. The trunk was big enough to hold a 5HP outboard, a tent and all the camping gear for three. My friend and i were around 12 years old. His father would rent a dock boat with oars. The outboard was used to run us out to a fishing area. Then one of us boys had to row while the other two fished. it was always one of us boys who rowed. I got pretty good at rowing.

later in life I started fly fishing. I even had waders. I would wade in the shallow parts of rivers. Caught some nice smallmouth bass in a section of Clinch River in TN. The bottom was too uneven and wound up turning my ankles. I did use a neoprene wader in the Smoky MT's during winter one time. Too cold even with the thick wader. I sometimes waded in the Cumberland River between Harlan and Pineville KY.

I pretty much have given up wading and now have an electric trolling motor for my boat.

Hilarious !!

Hello; Guess the bird is the tell. The range of that bird will determine the location in general. But interesting photo fix. (photoshoped??)

It is definitely photoshopped, 100%. The two reptiles are different, markings, size, everything about them basically!

The bird is the same bird!!! Zoom in on the dark neck markings where the light colouration meets the dark plumage of the shoulder area, and there are a few other subtle markings that are identical too.

Location looks the same too, given the trees in the background.

You've got a good eye. I think you are right. It looks like they just reversed the bird image. Top one is a croc bottom image is a gator.

That tree line does look virtually identical in both pictures. If it is the same place, and those are indeed a croc and a gator, then the only area in the world where crocs and gators live side by side is the Florida Everglades, I think!

So that northern Australian magpie goose took a monumentally wrong turn somewhere to end up in Florida, lol. Unless they migrate to Florida, but I doubt that very much.

Damn photoshopped pictures causing uncertainty, lol.
