No, I'm talking about a crocodile.
So, when your god designed this thing, was it not his intention to create a fiersome killing-machine?
It requires jaws and teeth that can snap an antilope's neck to eat what exactly, if not antilopes and alike?
I will let ICR provide you with the answer for that question:
Genesis 1:30 says, "'Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food'; and it was so." Therefore, according to Scripture, the originally created crocodilians ate plant material. Of course, that all changed when sin entered through mankind, resulting in the universal curse.
Now, researchers confirmed what few had even suspected—crocodiles
regularly eat vegetation.
Reporting in the
Journal of Zoology, a group of U.S. scientists studied alligator diets from Florida's Everglades National Park.4 Their review of published studies added to new observations finding that 13 of 18 crocodylian species eat fruit from 34 different plant families.
Gators often eat fleshy fruit. Some fruit falls into their mouths while they are pursuing animal prey; "however, there is little doubt that on occasion, fruit is deliberately consumed, often in large quantities," according to the study authors.4
For example, "Last year a researcher working in south-east Asia reported seeing a wild Siamese crocodile tucking into a watermelon," according to
New Scientist.5
Teeth weren't put there for eating meat, but for eating vegetation. But in this temporarily terrible Earth, those animals with originally good behaviors suffer from a curse that permits them to use their God-given teeth for terrible and bloody encounters. Does crocodilian preference for fruit reflect their original, Edenic state?
Maybe crocodiles and alligators should be viewed in a softer light, although from a safe distance.
