My intended point was that crocodiles dont often attack boats because boats dont much resemble their usual prey (moves, looks, tastes, smells and reacts different). So even if they are hungry (=need to) they wouldn't usually attack a boat.Absolutely true <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />My point was that the crocodile wont really know how (or be "programmed") to do anything else except how to live as a predator in aquatic environments (swim, hide, notice and identify prey, attack and kill prey, mate, take care of youths). If faced with something outside of that, it will either a) attack, b) flee, c) threaten or d) do nothing.Should a crocodile somehow, by luck or by chance, have gotten a meal out of attacking a boat they might do it again, I'm not actually to sure about how good crocodiles are at learning such new tricks. Most reptiles aren't very good at that.</blockquote>
