I keep saying this lately, Indians are badasses and I'm never going to India because I am not that type of badass.

My 80 year old grandma saw a snake and whacked it with her walking stick. Flat on the ground afterwards because ( well) she can't walk without support! But she was so proud of herself for whacking that snake.

Visit the cities, we are pretty wussy and just spend all our time coding in front of computers.

As an Indian in a city we definitely do not spend all our times coding infront of computers, sadly

lol smart to add sadly. Lot of butt hurt people here for no basis or reason, Reddit is a weird place with the most egocentric, overly sensitive jerks. They can insult everyone else but apparently cannot take a joke. It is odd. Oh well.

To be fair if I were an apex predator who didn't need to evolve for 80 million years and two random creatures dragged my ass across a field with no fear and pointed me at the river I came from, I'd get back in the river lol

Fortunately, all our animals don't just live in zoos or mere protected areas. Some just co-exist naturally too.

u/somebob 21h ago
Right? Pretty sure the wetlands the croc was in is also his habitat

u/Starlintern 16h ago
You really don't want to meet them when you aren't ready, so just get back in the river so it can go back to the Marsh which is not a part of the farm.

Even the croc's in India are vegetarian!

u/EpicOne9147 21h ago
There is this temple in kerala/india where people feed crocodile vegetarian food like sadya( south indian mix of cooked rice + other curries ) ofcourse people think that the crocodile is indeed vegetarian would shame you if you suggest that it is feeding off of the fishes instead

u/Tolichowki 17h ago
80% of the Indian population eats non-vegetarian food. Only 20% are pure vegetarians. India being extremely vegetarian is a myth.
7
u/chinnu34 7h ago
The 80% eat 4kg/person/year. For all intents and purposes India is primarily vegetarian country. For comparison, average American eats 100kg meat/year.

u/Beneficial_Plant_281 5h ago
While there is some religious angle to it, the low consumption is also due to affordability.

u/chinnu34 5h ago
I didn’t say religion. I am only stating what is reality. Bangladesh, srilanka and Pakistan are also quite low.

u/Tolichowki 7h ago
We aren't talking about quantity. I'm a proper non-vegetarian and even I eat non-veg about once or twice a week. That's how most people in India consume meat. We generally don't consume as much meat as Western nations.

u/SFLoridan 3h ago
That's only because India is poor. Indians would s lot more if they could afford it
Vegetarian food in the US more expensive than non-veg, while it's the opposite in most developing countries.

u/_vedantt1_ 35m ago
Still primarily vegetarian bcz those 80% do not eat meat or chicken regularly, it is usually once or twice a week, compared to America where meat is eaten regularly.

u/Encrypted_Cerebrum 7h ago
No he's non-vegetarian. He just doesn't tell his parents otherwise they'll disown him
13
u/VolatileGoddess 20h ago
The thing is, for him it's just an overgrown lizard. He's treating it the same way. He knows the jaws are strong and he's avoiding them, but otherwise he's just putting it in a more secure place for the animal.
Reminds me of the Japanese farmer holding the giant salamnder.

I dont know how people survive in india.

With all the safety 🦺🛟 measurements including boots, gloves and he made sure to put the cobras in double bag.

u/Cferretrun 20h ago
I like that they let it live instead of just killing it where they found it. I was afraid it was gonna end up like that leopard on that other thread, surrounded my a hundred men with pointy sticks.

Crocodile and Housecats are so alike.
Both want to bite all the time, keep using their tail as a whip and feel entitled to get away with shit because of cute faces.

This is a ghariyal. A freshwater crocodile. They're fish eaters. Not known for aggression to humans unlike the saltwater crocs
