      My read is that it’s a low-effort “She’s so ugly even the predators don’t want to eat her”. Maybe it was a reference to some current event?

        You’re reading too much into it. It’s just a role reversal. The crocs are scared of a human in the water, instead of the opposite.

      I guess crocs get out of the water to hunt. Which means human, a land animal, going into water means they are hunting and dangerous.

    My take on this.

    When I was six years old my parents went to a fish kill. A fish kill was where the state game and fish commission killed off a lake by doping the water to remove the oxygen so they could restock it with something they approved of. This caused the fish to float to the top and people would catch them with a net. While doing this my dad managed to catch a two hundred and fifty pound catfish in his net.

    When that fish came in the boat I just leaned back and went in the lake. My take on it was if that thing was in the boat it was safe in the water. I figure that is what those alligators are thinking.
