Crocodile? Are you guys from Florida? In Europe we learned it as duck beak, it just makes much more sense, where are the teeth? Nowhere it's not an alligator mouth it's a beak
Nah fam, if your bird looks like that it's probably dead. I also learnt it as the crocodile in Germany
Duck, crocodile, they're both archosaurs. Which means if it's either, they should have a premaxillar fenestra on the lower jaw, but I'm not seeing any. Clearly, this must be a possum.
I'm thinking horribly mangled German bank executive with a lisp 🤷
In the pre-digital age when most of this was pencil markings, it was not uncommon to see someone had drawn the teeth in.
I'm from Europe and I learned it as a wale (and I'm from southern Europe)
Nono, we don’t do math in Florida anymore. Also we’d be more likely to use “alligator” (tho we have plenty of both)
I learned it as Pac Man.
A greedy crow is what they told me
