What you've never thought about crocodile

The notice that moved me to write today this post was about existance of the dwarf crocodile. Not so long ago I knew about dwarf sea cows and this new dwarf specie was for me something completly illuminated. Just because I had never thought about.

Similar like "the sun shines in the sky", "water is wet" was for me crocodile: an enormous reptile.

Maybe you know more about crocodile, but for me the information I'll write here was revelation. That is why I offer you here all my research.

So, crocodiles are relative of birds and dinosaurs and their parent's name is Archosaurs, "ruling lizard"


Crocodilians unite crocodiles, alligators, caimans and gharials.

The name "krokodilos" meant for Greeks "worm of the stones"
All we know normally is that the crocodile is very large. It's true: the largest shot in Australia had 8,6 m and the largest living (in India) has 7,1 m
There are not sure possibilities to measure the age of Crocodile but they say, that avarage is 70 years and the oldest known was dead in a zoo (Russia) at 115 years.

And till here you know everything.
Now yesterday I knew that there are dwarf crocodiles. They seem to be very nice and lovely. They live in West Africa and arrive only 2 meters (normally 1,5)





I don't know crocodiles as friends, but here you can see that they can provoke real love and respect: (Steve Irwin crying over the crocodiles death)

Lion's Love

This notice I found about a year ago.
In Cali, Colombia, was found a lion abused and emaciated in a traveling circus.
Ana Julia Torres, 47, a teacher, works now rehabilitating animals and when this lion came in her shelter, she had to feed and nurse him to bring him back health.

Torres began to do this work, when she realized how many wild animals live in the houses of her puplis and are rejected after some time.

The lion loves the woman very much. Today I found the entire video about them. That is why I decided to post about them today.
Look at him when he kisses her and gives her these huges:



It's the greatest animal I know that shows his love to the person that saved him. I know the dogs remember it for all their life too.
Do you know a love-story like this?

Anaconda and Reticulated Python

Danger! Don't click! Alive Snakes Here:

Yesterday I posted interesting videos about these great snakes. Today I wanted to learn more about them.

The most long snake ever measured was a 33 feet= 10 meters long Asiatic Reticulated Python (buy it).

They spoke many times about 100 feet (34 meters) and 50 feet (15 meters) anacondas seen by hunters. One organization gives great money to those who shows 10 meters long anaconda, but in many years nobody could dimostrate it.

Anaconda (Eunectes murinus) is not the longest, it's the largest snake, boa constrictor(Buy Common Boa Constrictor). It is known that anaconda can grow till 9 meters long, weight 250 kg (!) and till 30 cm in diameter.

The Tamil word anaikolra meens "elephant killer".

The longest Reticulated Python ( Python reticulatus)(buy any species of python) as said was 10,05 meters long, his weight can arrive 160 kg (great difference, I say). Normaly adult phyton is 6-7 meters long. (so a little snake... imagin to meet something like this)

And now what interesting says Dr. Jesus Rivas about anacondas he studied about 11 years
He studied more than 900 animals!
Anaconda females are much more larger than males and it is the biggest difference found in tetrapods.
There is no competition fights between males. They only push each other.
