GET BRUSHIED IDIOT

Wait, are they using Spongebobs toothbrush?
The children yearn for crocodile dentistry.
what is that game about
like, how do you win
The other person gets bit
I believe, you have to take turns pushing down individual teeth. By random chance, it will close the mouth when you do that. So, you lose when you get bitten.
In the original, you pulled them out, but parents probably got sick of losing the teeth.
Edit: This concept is demonstrated in this historical document https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-aEpGsH0a8
I always remembered the push down ones. That interesting they had the pull one as well.
Me every night with my cats (after getting a 2500 bill from the cat dentist)
I thought this was a guy trying to cut a toothbrush in half.
What is this, The Flintstones?
This is a live action adaptation of that one episode of Monogatari series (if you know, you know)

But why? don't they have many sets of teeth when growing up?
I imagine, they can still get inflamed gums or similar, if something gets stuck in there...
they probably have a powerful immune system to deal with decaying matter, or carrion. also because they constantly replace thier teeth, caries and gum disease is less of an issue for them, as they wont get tartar or bacteria getting trapped in thier teeth.
Doesn't mean it's nice to have gum infections though. I can also imagine they are more of a threat to baby crocodiles.
they probably shed it often where it doesnt become a large problem with like mammals. also animals that tend to eat carriorn or dead animals have unique adaptations around bacterial infections.
Exactly and crocodiles keep growing teeth so they actually did evolve a defense against the dentist…
they can replace them constantly, unlike mammals where we get a set amount of teeth. because thier bite forces, or ripping causes them to lose teeth quite often.
This particular one is clearly not ornery.
Girls is the devil
At least one person gets it
The dentist or the reptile?
Alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush
