Because they got way too comfortable with alligators. Because alligators, when they get used to people, they just lay around. So they would just sit on the banks. And we would go to the fucking park, like Lake Alice is where the lake is. We'd go to the park and hang out. And alligators would just be hanging out there. And I was a little kid. It was normal.

Oh, yeah, for sure. They still do. I mean, they still breed them for skins and hunt them for skins, but now they have an overpopulation problem. So I was just curious to like, how would a crocodile farming make that happen? I don't think that, I think it's probably just a natural reaction to the fact they weren't hunted anymore. And then they just blossomed and it just took a few decades.

And they had wiped out everything.
