June 14, 2007: guy dresses as croc to study them
 
http://cellar.org/2007/crocguy1.jpg

xoxoxoBruce forwards this Daily Mail article which explains that the gentleman above, Dr. Brady Barr, clearly insane, has built this croc-like-box to study a group of Nile crocs.

Quote:
The zoologist adopted his bizarre outfit in the hope of getting closer to a colony of Nile crocodiles, which can grow up to 20ft.

His disguise was a prosthetic head attached to the front of a protective metal cage covered with canvas and a generous plastering of hippo dung to mask his human scent.

It was 13ft long - average Nile size. The head was made of glass fibre, while the frame of the body was aluminium covered with a sheet of Kevlar body armour.

This made me laugh. Not very realistic, though. Here's a better costume:

I don't think that outfit would have helped him much, if the Mama Hippo had decided to stomp him into the Crock poo.

It looked and sounded ridiculous to me at first, but now I'm impressed with the construction of the replica and Barr's plan.

Oh..... Croc costume.

Shawnee123 06-14-2007 02:43 PM
lol, Spexx. I think I"m going to go with that idea. I'll get me one of those costumes you posted, then go live amongst them so I can study them.

He has a crocbox, but if he has to pee he'll need a crocpot.

it reminds me of jim carey in ace ventura (2?) when he was in a rhino costume and it overheated so he had to climb out its ass... hahaha.... delicious poop jokes

Cloud 06-14-2007 04:02 PM
no, reminds me of the faux-gorilla in Trading Places.

If this had been the Friday IoTD, we could be swapping recipies for the "other" other white meat.

Clearly insane--understatement of the day. Did he not get the memo on how kevlar works? Um, crushing forces (well over 2000 pounds) are not affected in any way by kevlar. Tearing forces, meh, maybe. So he'll be mashed to a bloody pulp, but he'll only make one puddle. Adorned with hippo poo. Sheesh, this guy gives crazy people a bad name.

Spexxvet 06-14-2007 04:47 PM
I hope one of the male crocs doesn't mate with him.

Shawnee123 06-14-2007 05:11 PM
He loves him. He wants to date him, and kiss him, and have a million babies.
