  • Africa's crocodiles face stiff competition for their food. Fortunately for them, they are blessed with an even greater variety of prey. Over millions of years, these two factors have honed them into versatile, opportunistic hunters - master predators from the age of the dinosaurs.

    This is an excellent documentary with Peter providing the perfect commentary (a total absence of "er", "you know", "I mean", "kind of" and "like") with a fine voice.
    Some years ago, while working in Sri Lanka I received a request from a biologist in the UK to supply his lab with some crocodile blood. Reflection suggested that the underside of the base of the tail might provide a convenient location for obtaining a blood sample. With help from a vet, the sample was obtained and sent. Elsewhere, I heard that crocs rarely, if ever, suffer from any infectious diseases.

    I have a Question!
    Just today, I introduced a new category of expression for an evolutionary step that is approximately 400 million years . A time in which genes transcend~ the material universal time of information transfer. life phenomenon . So following the evolution of alligator species I have a problem thinking given by today's observations that the difference in one degree Celsius makes the difference between the formation of male or female individuals. That the mother crocodile when laying eggs determines that temperature with the depth of egg burial! Although it is clear to me that the time of climate change lasts for tens of thousands and millions of years, it is not clear to me how alligator species have resisted and survived such changes? . And let's say species other than reptors didn't ??
