Added DiffLines:

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: While most of the characters are initially either surprised or shocked by Lyle’s ability to sing, at no point does anyone consider the huge implications of Lyle’s sentience and ability to communicate in english, albeit only in song.

I assure you, that there are known examples of domesticated crocs showing affection towards humans they know.

* JustEatGilligan: Almost every character meeting a crocodile face to face in public was realistically that of shock and fear...... And none addressed the absurdity of the same crocodile being anthropomorphic, bipedal, and... having a beautiful singing voice. Clearly, given the film's premise its not meant to be taken seriously.

* JustEatGilligan: Given almost every character's initial reaction to Lyle was that of shock and fear, the audience can easily point out that the absurdity of an anthropomorphic, bipedal singing crocodile was never addressed at all. Clearly, the film's premise is not meant to be taken seriously, and being a musical it goes with the territory.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Even ignoring the fact that a crocodilian have neither sound mimicking abilities nor the necessary vocal cords for singing, almost everything else Lyle does isn't how real-life crocodilians would or can act - For obvious reasons. Not only that, Lyle's overlapping teeth and wide snout are [[InformedSpecies more akin to an alligator's]].

* InformedSpecies: Some viewers and reviewers have noted that Lyle more closely resembles an alligator than a crocodile. Presumably, the alligators' (relatively) more attractive appearances and friendlier disposition as compared to that of crocodiles might have played a part in the decision to base Lyle's character design on an alligator. This initially caused some speculation as to whether this would be a plot point, however, it is never addressed in the movie.
