Don't try this at home, people. This crocodile had been shot in the head when it was young and it had brain damage.

Wow, they are fast! Facinating animals.

They can do short bursts of 25 mph. Should you ever be in the position of having a gator chase you…you should frequently change the direction you are running. While gators are fast, they can’t change direction easily.

Somewhere there is a video of a huge gator on shore being harassed and intimidated by a cat. If I find it I’ll post it.

It has been less than 100 years since Penicillin was discovered, and less than 80 years since it became commercially available.

That twenty year gap, when penicillin was so rare that it was recycled from urine, was because of drug companies trying to figure out how to produce it in quantity on their own. In WW II, the government forced them to pool their research, and it got easy. For-profit companies should not be allowed anywhere near health care.

Too scary for anyone to try here, that's a fairly old clip from Costa Rica. There's quite a few films about him, the crocodile's name was Pocho and he died of old age a few years back.

This reminds me:

We got in to a camp site in the afternoon and was I so tired. I got the camp set up but my foster daughter still had plenty of energy. I told her to pick up little stones and make a line starting here and go to there. This kept her happily busy for a long time. There was no need or purpose to this stone line, but she was happy and proud of it.
