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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Considering she bit off his leg, I'm guessing he turned his rage on to some smaller females. What an asshole crocodile!
. What an asshole crocodile!
They are kind of known for that.
Oh, my, GOD. You people are so judgmental. How DARE you be so humanormative?
Jesus.
Megafauna kind of creeps me out too. Except for mega-sloths. I think they would be like Aunt Beast from A Wrinkle in Time.

"It's my worst trouble, getting fond."
OMG, they're totally the worst. Like, worse than the crocs. This is why I don't understand my reflexes.
Entirely unrelated, I really want to cosplay movie/Ultimates Nick Fury. Like, more than any cosplay urge I've had in a while. That would be so cool.

He did; the keepers were of the opinion that he killed all of them simply because he couldn't remember which female had done it. (Or couldn't pick her out of a line-up.)

The ground sloths were awesome. Megatherium grew larger than an elephant, could and did kill sabre-toothed cats, and it's been suggested that they ate meat as well as vegetation.
Did stupidity win?
Pfft. This is a Burmese python, not a Presidential election. As Lincoln said, "You can fool all of the people some of the time, but don't try anything with the pythons, because they know, amirite?"
I have told this story before, but am happy to repeat. Burmese pythons rank third in size after the anaconda and the reticulated python. After dinner, the staff at the ARP brought out their largest specimen. It measured maybe six metres, and was solidly built with it – they're immensely strong.
So anyway, they had ten guys hoist it onto their shoulders and carry it around for a while. And this one idiot, halfway down the length of the snake, starts poking the python. (Not like that. And eww.) Guy behind him points out that this is not a brilliant strategy, so he turns around (still poking) to assure him that "It's ok – we have a good grip on it".
Of course they did. While he's doing this, the python has pretty effortlessly taken matters into its own... er... Its...
So the python's taken charge of the situation, dragging four guys with it, and when the guy turns back, the python's head is six inches from his. I'll leave it to the philosophers whether it was a shriek or a bellow, but I've never seen a guy hit the ground that fast. Meanwhile, the snake is still just staring at him. They're not the most expressive of creatures, but I think the message was pretty clear, and the message was:
Suicidal actuary: [poke poke] "Look what I can do!"
Gigantic snake: "...Don't do that."
The happy ending to that story has sudden bladder voiding.
So, if you were going to break it down, what makes this creepy? Is it the human body? Hairstyle? Eyeballs? Mundane framing?
It's pretty effective, I think.
