....they can climb tree's too.

http://www.foxnews.com/science/2014/02/12/study-crocodiles-are-able-to-climb-trees/?intcmp=features

Never seen one in a tree myself, then again never looked either. This turns my Golf trips to Florida upside down now. I have to start looking up too ?

How did Tony die ? Gator fell on him, 6th hole as he was taking out his 5 iron. Seriously ? Whats next, packs of Pit Bulls in tree's ?

    obviously you never seen me play golf.

    Oh, and BTW....I did teach my 1st grandson the ol' Pull my finger trick when he was like 2. Mom wasn't too pleased. Still does it 5 years later with more realistic sounds. Court says my visits have to be supervised by an adult. Where the f**k am I suppose to find one of those ?

    Go to Oz and see the big ones up close. You'll believe every single thing you read about them.

    Last I heard, Bears climb trees pretty darn good. Same with Mountain Lions. Seems like everything climbs trees these days...except us. Though, you'd be surprised how fast I can scurry a tree given the right conditions. Like if I saw Cathy coming....
