I'm suddenly pre-occupied with giant crocodiles (or maybe alligators--my mind's eye won't get me get close enough to check)
Salt water crocodiles are enormous! And they like to eat human flesh.
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks, Hec, for forcing me to bring this back to mind.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Excellent! The best work excursion I ever had was a dinner at the Autralian Reptile Park on the Central Coast. They had a similarly-proportioned salty (called Eric, IIRC) who had also lost a limb. In his case, it was bitten off by a female salty who wasn't in the mood. He reacted by killing all three females in his enclosure (which is when he was moved to the ARP).
That was also the occasion when I witnessed the epic showdown between actuarial stupidity and a Burmese python.

Did stupidity win?

Did he kill the specific croc that turned him down? If so, was it first, last, or middle?
I have a narrative I need fact-checked.

Considering she bit off his leg, I'm guessing he turned his rage on to some smaller females. What an asshole crocodile!

Megafauna kind of creeps me out too. Except for mega-sloths. I think they would be like Aunt Beast from A Wrinkle in Time.
