you did, by saying that the death roll is an altenative to chewing.


Contradiction at it's finest. Once again, I did not say that the death roll is the same as chewing.


From what you say, it sounds as if the death roll is along the same lines as chewing. A human bites and rips part of it's food off, a croc on the other hand bites then rolls to rip the food off. It then swallows it whole, no chewing needed. So really a death roll isn't much of an alternative to anything, it's more like another way to rip food apart.

Saying that, let's not get another argument going. Nice pics and facts!

We chew to break food down. The Crocodile death-rolls for similar reasons. A crocodile can't chew, so it death-rolls instead. That's where I'm coming from.

But anyway...enough of that...I'll try for another factoid soon.

The Okapi (Okapia johnstoni) was one of the last large animals to be indentified, in 1901.

I haven't learned much yet as I know most of the facts, but they're still outstanding even so.

Nope, but it's still cool that such a large animal had eluded us for so long.

PS: I might be from the Sahara, but not the Congo!

I'm afraid that numerous problems with the game have forced me to uninstall and reinstall the game completely, thus removing all the screenshots I had. I'm afraid, therefore, this will be postponed until further notice.

If this is postponed until further notice - it is therefore :signclosed:  PM a moderator when you are able to play again and want it re-opened :)
