Extremely disturbing image of one of God's ugliest creatures?:
Also,
if you could make any animal small enough to fit in the palm of your hand , what would it be?
I'd pick the Nile Crocodile. Those things kill roughly 300 people a year and I would love watching him try to kill me and exercising complete ownership of him.
Could you imagine that animal being small enough to fit in your hand while full-grown. It would be fun having an aquarium for him and watching him eat.
Here is a story of Saltwater crocodiles eating Japanese soldiers by the hundreds in World War 2 in a Swamp:
"
“That night [of Feb. 19, 1945] was the most horrible that any member of the M.L. [motor launch] crews ever experienced. The crocodiles, alerted by the din of warfare and smell of blood, gathered among the mangroves, lying with their eyes above the water, watchfully alert for their next meal. With the ebb of the tide, the crocodiles moved in on the dead, wounded, and uninjured men who had become mired in the mud…
The scattered rifle shots in the pitch black swamp punctured by the screams of the wounded men crushed in the jaws of huge reptiles, and the blurred worrying sound of spinning crocodiles made a cacophony of hell that has rarely been duplicated on Earth. At dawn, the vultures arrived to clean up what the crocodiles had left.” — Bruce Stanley Wright
The giant lizards had a feast of their lives as nearly 1,000 terrified soldiers dripped blood and sweat into the crowded confines of the Ramree mangrove swamp.
Around 500 Japanese soldiers are believed to have fled the mangrove swamps, with 20 of them being recaptured by British forces who had set up a perimeter around the dense jungle. Around 500 of the fleeing men, however, never made it out of the swamp.
Survivors are said to have heard harrowing stories of hundreds of crocodiles assaulting the soldiers in a mass assault, as well as appalling tales of crocodiles attacking the soldiers individually.
A couple of months after the tragedy, a specialized commissioned military tribunal conducted an investigation on what had happened. It was confirmed that the victims of the crocodile attack were the Japanese soldiers, every three meters of the swamp, the water contained twenty-four percent of human blood.
The incident was even included in the list of the Guinness Book of World Records as the deadliest crocodile attack ever recorded in history."
