If You Didn't Think Crocodiles Were Terrifying Enough . . .

I absolutely love Australia's commitment to be as Australian as it can be. Case in point? Scientists have discovered evidence of prehistoric eggshells that may point to the existence of "drop crocs" – crocodiles that climbed trees and leapt onto prey from above. For more info, check out the article from the BBC.

For those who've gotten to experience the splendor of Australia firsthand, you have my envy – and my respect. I lay even odds of getting eaten/bitten/stung/immolated by merely reading a pamphlet about the beautiful-but-forbidden continent. (To be clear, I'd still go in a heartbeat . . .)
