According to videos posted on Australian media NewsCom and social media platform 'TikTok', an alligator hung on an iron fence at Malcolm Douglas Wildlife Park in Brumsey, Western Australia, Australia on the 1st (local time).
The crocodile's front legs are already hanging from the top of the fence and its long snout is also hanging, making it almost as if it succeeded in 'escape'.
But the short hind legs are hanging because they can't push enough over the fence.
When the surprised tourists shouted, the zookeeper ran and touched it with a stick, dropping the crocodile to the ground.
Online, alligators are surprised that they can climb fences.
According to foreign media, an alligator was seen climbing a waterfall in Australia in 2018.
There are also studies showing that crocodiles can climb trees.
At the time, the research team explained that crocodiles do not have suitable toes and foot structures for climbing, but they are agile enough to climb slowly. The study found that the crocodile climbed a tree about 1.8m.
Netizens are saying "Is it the evolution of the crocodile?", "I think I'll have to raise the fence higher", " I think I'll try to escape again next time" give a back reaction.
