Aha; a photo of the extremely rare Vegan Crocodile. Her favorite pray is wheat grass and spirulina, but she strikes fear into the hearts of all chlorophyllia.

I recently came accross your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I dont know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
A good life... if you're one of the very lucky few who survive long enough to grow up. Only the adults get to enjoy relative peace of mind free from predators! The offspring are subject to high mortality.
I've long thought that if I died and came back as an animal, I'd want to be a crocodile. Not only have they survived several mass extinctions as a species, but they've also managed to survive humans, even becoming menaces and nuisances to them. And doing all that while spending most of your time floating or basking with no natural predators? That's a good life.
A few factoids: the word crocodile comes from the Ancient Greek word: κροκόδιλος (crocodilos). Also, unlike other reptiles, they have a cerebral cortex and a four-chambered heart. Unfortunately, they are unable to stick out their tongues, since said tongue is kept in place by a thin membrane. They have to rely exclusively on their glare to convey the contempt they feel for you.

Also, alligator comes from "al ligatur" which is Spanish slang for "the lizard".

At my first quick glance, I thought it was a bright green lizard that was in the process of shedding its skin. XD
