One user jokingly wrote in the comment section, “That gator turned around so quickly, his head is probably still ringing.” Another said, “Not a frypan, it’s a crock pot.” Some users were also criticizing the pan drying phenomenon. “I bet this guy is fed up and now the man wants him to leave,” said the third.

Meanwhile, according to newsweek, Mr. Hansen and his crocodile encounters are famous. Despite the local crocodile population, he moved to a remote island many years ago. Until 2018, he used to have a small dog named Pippa, who used to attack crocodiles to scare them back into the water. However, one day a crocodile known as Casey by Mr. Hansen caught the dog and killed it.
