Crocodiles

SCALY FRIDAY ON SATURDAY:

Nearest thing we have to living dinosaurs:



Here is a Nile crocodile, the largest reptile on earth (heavier than an anaconda), getting a dental checkup off a local bird:



The Indian gharial is a crocodile with a streamlined nose:
I think this one's a baby...



America has its own crocodiles, though the Americans insist on calling them aligators. Aligators are far smaller than Nile crocodiles and less evil-looking. They are even willing to appear in Jackass TV stunts:

  2. Pretty awesome aren't they although I have to challenge you on the largest. They are in fact the Saltwater Crocodiles found in Northern Australia and southern Asia .. although frankly I wouldn't want to get close enough to compare sizes between and Aussie Salty and Nile Wildebeest muncher.

  4. We have rather large crocs here, in the Northern Territory. The river banks are thick with these huge animals and when I went up there some years ago, I had nightmares for a couple of weeks about being chased by them. Scary!

  5. Hi there!
    I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

    For several years , I make money with the help of these programs.
    I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
    Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my blog to get additional info.

  7. We have a lot of alligators in SC where I live. They eat small dogs and children if given the chance. I give them a wide berth, especially the females with babies.

  8. I heard baby crocs get flushed down American loos and turn into fullsized aligators in the sewers!!

    Hang on Northern Saltwater Crocs are larger than Nile ones... my mistake!
