Make sense; they live in digusting swamps.

You would think their immune system would be pretty good.

“what purpose do they serve”

The Mob has been putting them to good use for years.

Did you listen to Neal Boortz this a.m.? He searched Yahoo for "Muslims outraged" and found more than 23,000 references. He did the same with other phrases (i.e., "Catholics outraged) and didn't get near as many references.

That’s what I thought when I read this article, too. I have read, btw, that the crocodile is particularly lethal because any crocodile bite can kill you - not from the bite, but from the infection that sets in afterwards. They live in what are essentially pools of bacteria, and their teeth are laden with icky things that get into your bloodstream when they bite you.

Since they don’t die from living in this stuff, I guess it does stand to reason that the crocs (or gators) themselves have some built-in protection from it.

Study the freakin’ roaches. That's where the real survival power lies.
