Top 6 biggest prehistoric crocodiles ever lived
Previously, I published a post about the largest crocodiles ever recorded. All sizes in that post were recorded in recent times. The crocs listed were large, yes, but not as big as most people think.

The Largest Alligator Ever Measured
Alligators can often reach at least 14 or 15 feet in length, which is even larger than some crocodile species, but not all of them, especially not the Saltwater Crocodile (I am talking about the American alligator – A. mississippiensis here, the Chinese alligator – A. sinensis is much smaller).

Sleeping cat and dog
I took these photos last week in Bodrum, Turkey. A stray cat and stray dog sleeping together in the same place, very closely. Beautiful. The traditional belief that cats and dogs are natural enemies is not true. If appropriately socialized, cats and dogs may have relationships that are not antagonistic, and dogs raised with cats […]
