Mar 24, 2009: Robo-Croc

[xoxoxoBruce]

Robo-Croc is a 10-foot male crocodile that got his head run over by a car.
This happened down in the Florida Keys last December... probably there for the Christmas holidays.

Anyway, he was taken to Miami's Metrozoo, but they didn't think he'd make it because his broken snout was hanging limp.
As if a limp snout wasn't depressing enough, he couldn't eat, and after three months things looked pretty grim.
Then Douglas Mader, of the Marathon Veterinary Hospital, decided to cure him or kill him.



Instead of going in an splicing bones with screws and metal bits, like the do with people, Robo-Croc is spliced on the outside.



Time will tell how long he makes it, but at least he doesn't have a limp snout.

He may have a future in horror films and children's nightmares, too.
