Despite the fact they lack the physical adaptations of a climber, crocodiles can climb trees and do it regularly, a new study in Herpetology Notes finds.
After studying five crocodilian species on Africa, Australia and North America, the team found that the reptiles can climb as high as six feet off the ground. Juveniles have been spotted as high as 30 feet. Combined with anecdotal evidence in these areas, the researchers found that the smaller crocodiles were able to vertically scale trees, while their larger counterparts relied on angled branches.

Perfect boat gun.
Repel boarders.

I'll single hand my .44 Redhawk and .44 Blackhawk, but when I shoot a buddy's .454 Super Redhawk, it's strictly two handed and that's usually followed by a grimace.
That is not a go out and plink all day gun, LOL.
Well you save ammo on those sort of guns.
!5 shots and yer all tuckered out.
"A cockroach species commonly called a “palmetto bug” is the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana). Adult American cockroaches are large and winged. Their coloration is dark brown with a cream-colored prothorax that has dark markings that resemble sunglasses. American cockroaches prefer damp conditions and often are found in sewers, woodpiles and mulch. They will fly to lights. This particular behavior is disconcerting[NO KIDDING!!] for homeowners who encounter a large roach that flies near their face when entering doors with lights nearby in the evening."
Or, as I said as a young child when confronted with the nasty thing (3"? 3'?) that suddenly launched itself at me, "#@@%^%%&*$!! It FLIES?!?!?!?!?!" It was the ultimate insult!
This formerly Northern boy, new to the South, screamed like a little girl and ran.
‘s true. Here we are, big target for any stuff of nightmares. At least we provide a buffer so Georgia et al can sleep at night!
Really...tree-climbing crocs/gators...I don’t even want to consider bridge building in their skill-set.
Ran into some sort of critter in Ca one night sitting around a fire in the Cuyamaca mts, They were like june bugs the size of a golfball or bigger, damn things kept kamikazing in on the fire, would bip you in the head. Never seen anything like it since.
We must offer them land for peace...
I for one welcome our new crocodilian overlords
Has this been documented, or just an alligation ??
It could be a total croc....
