“Why was the alligator on vacation? Inquiring minds want to know.”
For the same reason many people go on vacation, so it could eat things it really enjoys. In other words, there must be tastier kids at Disney Land.
Everybody knows about the bird.
Thanks fieldmarshaldj. And there's a crapton more recent Neandertal stories, I've just not posted 'em, the election crunch and all.
The Neandertal Enigma"Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

Big birds are scavengers.
Back in these days it was watching your relatives getting eaten by scavengers (and the stink) that drove early man to bury their dead.
No one wants to see a little girl eaten. But when you are in the food chain, this stuff happens. Die in the woodssee how long you stay in one piece.
Ding,Ding do I win?
Alligators have to have some downtime occasionally, too.
And each other!!
