Wednesday's wonderful fact

Did you know that crocodiles are one of the oldest living species, having survived for more than 200 million years?

Scientists still aren't sure how, but crocodiles managed to outlive dinosaurs by 65 million years.

In fact, crocodiles have always been so well-designed for survival, that modern crocodiles are hardly different than those found in fossils.
