Last week I stumbled over a story about a tweeting crocodile in England.
He's been teasing authorities and the public at large with his friendly offers of midnight swims, etc.
Now, there's a study showing that not only can they tweet but they also climb trees.
These guys are like the special forces of the amphibian world:
Death from Above and Below, on Land, in Water, and in the Air!
If they start growing wings we are in very serious trouble.

Editor's Note: It's worse than I thought! They have their own museum. Crikey!!!

Apparently, the ancient crocodiles mummified their dead.
And buried them in their own sarcophaguses.
Crocodile Kings would kill their enemies, eating the flesh and then fashioning trophy clothing from the vanquished crocodile's skin to be worn as a totem and warning to others.
