	Crocodile - One Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Crocodiles tend to live in slow-moving rivers and feed on a wide variety of living and dead mammals and fish.
		Despite their slow appearance, crocodiles are top-level predators in their chosen environment, and various species have been observed attacking and killing lions, large ungulates and even sharks.
		Crocodiles in the wild are protected in many parts of the world, but they also are farmed commercially, and their hide is tanned into leather and used to make handbags, boots, and the like, while crocodile meat is considered a delicacy by connoisseurs.

		In this latter crocodile it was actually the skin that was measured by zoologist Jerome Montague, and as skins are known to underestimate the size of the actual animal, it is possible this crocodile was at least another 10 cm longer.
		The crocodile experts said as per the parameters, the crocodile would be about 7.62 m since the size of the skull was measured one seventh of the total length of the body.
		Crocodiles are more closely related to birds and dinosaurs than to most animals classified as reptiles, the three being included in the group Archosauria ('ruling reptiles').

	Crocodile Summary
		Crocodiles tend to congregate in slow-moving rivers and lakes, and feed on a wide variety of living and dead mammals and fish.
		Crocodiles are more closely related to birds and dinosaurs than to most animals classified as reptiles (though all of these are thought to probably be more closely related to each other than to Testudines (turtles and tortoises), and have correspondingly unusual features for reptiles, such as a four-chambered heart).
		In this latter crocodile it was actually the skin that was measured by zoologist Jerome Montague, and as skins are known to underestimate the size of the actual animal, it is possible this crocodile was at least another 4 inches (10 cm) longer.

		Eosuchians (meaning "early crocodile") were reptiles that evolved during the late Triassic period, about 220 million years ago.
		Eotitanosuchids (meaning "giant dawn crocodiles") were enormous primitive therapsids that lived during the middle Permian period (about 267 to 265 million years ago, long before the dinosaurs evolved).
		Eurypterida (meaning "wide wing") are extinct carnivorous marine arthropods (segmented invertebrates with a chitinous exoskeleton and jointed legs), also called "sea scorpions." These hunters had a scorpion-like stinger which may have contained poison, 3 pairs of jointed legs, 2 clawed arms, and strong jaws.

		However with the movement to land and increasing size and complexity of organisms, a more complex system of support and movement were necessary.
		Some land animals (Arthropods) have an exoskeleton with muscles attached to the inside of the skeleton.
		These exoskeletons offer a great deal of protection to the organisms but must be shed in order for the animal to grow and are relatively heavy which limits the maximum size of the animal.

		Most lizards should be fed, once a day, items that are as close to their natural diet as possible.
		Animals who eat a large number of regular mealworms may occasionally experience intestinal impaction due to the higher percentage of indigestible exoskeleton material in the mealworm.

		This research is directed at identifying electrocuting grid configurations and materials capable of hygienically destroying mosquitoes and biting midges.
		Hygienic electrocution requires the destruction of the insect with its exoskeleton intact, unlike backyard "bug zappers" that explode the exoskeleton, spraying fragments into the air nearby.
		In addition, there are a number of technical challenges associated with the electrocution of mosquitoes, and especially biting midges, which have a maximum wingspan of 1.5 mm.

		Even though the crocodile's immune system is much stronger than the human one and we can't just port over what we need, I still would have hope that this information and research could be used to speed along a vaccine of some types (although with a retrovirus like HIV, that's a difficult prospect).
		Initial studies of the crocodile immune system in 1998 found that several proteins (antibodies) in the reptile's blood killed bacteria that were resistant to penicillin, such as Staphylococcus aureus or golden staph, Australian scientist Adam Britton told Reuters on Tuesday.
		If the crocodile is producing antibodies to HIV then he is being challenged with HIV or a part of it.
