Knowing what pain and suffering the Japanese caused during this conflict makes feeling anything but sympathy for the crocodiles unavoidable

Love how much your channel has grown

Just found your channel and subbed. Looking forward to more!

And don't forget, the Royal Navy was probably raining at minimum destroyer calibre shells into the mangrove targeting the Japanese troops during that time. Disease, starvation, thirst, battle wounds. They'd retreated into the swamp to escape the attacking British landing force- so it's the survivors of the garrison trying to make it off the island back to the mainland, and because medical care isn't a high priority in the IJA, most of those who make it are probably wounded as well, with the Royal Navy lobbing shells in after them. Then, only then add in the local wildlife, the few large salties that were in the area, and venomous snakes. But it definitely makes for a good story, the massacre of a Japanese regiment at the (jaws) of giant salties!

I live in Australia… yep we have some deadly creatures here. 1 you don’t run through thick scrub or lift up logs and rocks during spring to summer. Snakes 2 if you go swimming up north anywhere above the 24 parallel then be careful if not swim there at all… especially inland rivers 3 yes kangaroos can attack you and cut you open 4 the eagles here are big enough to pick up your toddler and fly away 5 the spiders here can chase you and some even jump “Welcome to Australia “ 😊

Anyone who doubts this story can take there happy asses to Burma and take a swim in that swamp anytime they choose. The fact that there are just a few Japanese who survived proved the story.

Just when you thought war couldn't get any worse...

Great 👍 topic but the sound quality isn't very good. Can barely hear it

Two other possible causes you don't touch on are seppuku and hypothermia induced drowning. Staying in 70-80° water for a full night you freeze or pass out which isn't a good thing when in water. I'd guess it's a little bit of everything.

The sound in this video is too low. You need to turn up the volume some more.

the music and video at the beginning of the Crocs 👀💀☠️

ok this channel is amazing. 0

Unfortunately, the Crocs were hungry a half hour later.

Just binged on your channel and subbed. Love your delivery and corny jokes as well as subject matter. “Sharks are bitches.” 🎉😂😂

Crocodiles don't have hands. Still a great channel.

Dude the Audio is terrible I love your videos but please improve the audio quality much love brotha

No 1000 men were not eaten Out of 900 the injured and ill were mostly eaten at night.

great channel. love the content! you dont need to curse to be a great storyteller.just my opinion

I think crocs somehow ate your amplification system. Can barely hear you speaking. But the parts I did hear are great!

Anyone who knows anything about biology knows this story is an exaggeration. Firstly there can only be so many saltwater crocodiles on one island. They are huge natural predators and require habitats with high carrying capacity. Based on the size of the island, I’d estimate maybe 40-50 adult crocs. There were few Japanese soldiers left because they were already sick, wounded, or dying of disease, with many probably drowning in the mangroves as the tide rose, being shelled by artillery, or suicide. I don’t doubt some got killed by crocodiles but not a number like 1,000 that’s just ridiculous and goes against any laws of nature.

Well after eating oriental food they say you are hungry in an hour

Re upload it with better sound quality This is trash

It’s totally verified. There were many Marines there to witness it. It happened for sure.

Some African Crocodiles are around thirty feet long. So, I could only imagine what the length of the largest Asian ones would be.

id love ur thoughts on some good pirate stories or the us armys encounter w the giant of khandahar

But..Honey Bee is number 2 on that list...so are Aussie Honey Bees actually Murder Hornets?

So was it an army of crocs? Or was it just one giant big crock?

This is where the legend of “GOOODDDDZZZZZIIIIIRRAAAAA” came from. I’m not even being funny lol. Look it up.

Please don't swear there is no need to use bad language!

Hey should of interviewed the soldiers who survived

Crocs will eat the vultures too.

Does anyone live on the island

maybe there were 250 crocs and they each killed 4 people?

Newsflash crocodiles are also cannibalistic that's probably how they survived I agree a thousand is a high high number and who went down there counted them and survived but they didn't say how large the island actually was

probably a few attacks were heard and the rest died of diseases and other issues . they were previously fighting for a while correct? so if a wounded Jspanese soldier went in and died, who would have known.

Lizard? It was salt water crocks

You do a lot of half-ass researching. For starters, 500 of the 1,000 did make it to the other side of the island. The Japanese has a full record of each soldier that made it to the other end of the island. There are swarms of 300 to 500 crocodiles during mating season. And that island sounds perfect for females laying their eggs. The whole ordeal happened within a month. You didn't even tell the best part. Where the crocodiles started hammering the trees night and day. While every now and then shaking a soldier into the water. Or how the 500 that got left behind. How the ones not hirer then 15 feet in the tree. Where getting snatched by the crocodiles. You did not come across one letter about the constant pounding day and night by other soldiers? One more question: Why didn't you take any of the 20 men that were save accounts of what happened?

Vile creatures. The crocodiles aren't much more blood-thirsty either.

Crocs: we’re doing our part against fascism УРАААААА

Salt water crocs to the world aka the godzirras to the Japanese people.

Ok let me get this straight this joker is trying to say that most of this never happened thar it's a made up story? Well sonny boy i thank you should leave the historical stuff alone i bet that you would say that the salors that was eat by sharks on the ship that was sunk was a fairy tale too but it happened just like this so eather quit of bone up on your facts

I don't know about the crocs killing 1,000 soldiers, seems unlikely. Crocs will take you, kill you and stuff you under a submerged stump to marinate. I don't think they hoard food though but they are opportunistic hunters. When the USS Indianapolis sunk in WWII 150 of the survivors waiting for rescue were eaten by sharks. They were out there floating for days. Can you imagine floating in the ocean for days not knowing when a shark would attack you. Or you are floating beside someone and they suddenly disappear.

there is croc's in the Americas too. In florida. So just as dangerous as australia. as well as the most shark attacks. No bears in australia, wolves, cougars, jaguars, lynx, bobcat, alligators too. Also some of the most poisonous snakes (rattler, viper, anacondas, traveling pythons from all over the world, spiders (eg. black widow, tarantula) Iv seen 3 wild tarantulas in ottawa ontario, they travel lol. My step dad worked at a fruit and veg warehouse. Dont get me started with the high north - polar bears, walrus, more arctic wolves, wolverines. Moose are very dangerous. Caribou herds are dangerous. Goats and rams are very dangerous in the west. Why is australia so dangerous ??? Oh liberal Media said so. lol there is nowhere more dangerous than the americas. Canada is more dangerous. How many types of bears do we have lol. Pretty much all of them. oh and killer bees. All kinds of bugs - hoards of bugs. Iv seen mosquito balls the size of houses and that was just the ones that were flying together. They were everywhere. Then flies, then lady bugs, then , then then. Every 7 years leaf hoppers, then they die off for the next 7 years and poof back again. Locust the size of mantises all over your windows doors etc. Just try to go outside to catch the school bus, lol. That was country living - well country swamp living. I can go on but i think you get the point. Oh and now we have hippos in the americas lmgdao. Why Australia, it doesn't even register.
