Mar 24, 2009: Robo-Croc
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. Video

Remove all metal splicings prior to ingestion. Cook thoroughly till internal temperature is 160 degrees.

Wouldn't it have been kinder to put the darn thing out of its misery?

Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile Don't be taken in by his welcome grin He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin Never smile at a crocodile Never dip your hat and stop to talk awhile Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile You may very well be well bred Lots ot etiquette in your head But there's always some special case, time or place To forget etiquette For instance: Never smile at a crocodile

He may not have the bite he used to but he's already made the switch from analog to HD.
