What a crock

Post by bio » Mon Sep 26, 2005 12:54 pm

I got the following email earlier today:
FW: What a crock!-- New Orleans

This crocodile was found in New Orleans swimming down the street. 21 FT long, 4,500 lbs, around 80 years old minimum.

Specialists said that he was looking to eat humans because he was too old to catch animals. This crocodile was killed by the army last Sunday at 3:00 pm, currently he is in the freezer at the Azur hotel. The contents of its stomach will be analyzed this Friday at 2:30pm.

Of course, I'm no damn fun at all. I googled it and found it to be a hoax (though the images are quite real). Further research showed that they don't actually have crocodiles in Louisana (that's aligator country). The American Crocodile is found in the southern tip of Florida, Central and South America only.

Still... cool friggin pictures of something I would NEVER EVER want to run into :-)
