I only bought this for the croc on the front. Haven't even looked inside yet! This one is from New York in April this year.


Wally Gator is from EBay. A lovely little book bought in March this year while in New York.


Another book from NY. This time on the Upper East Side in March.

Did you say, "Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator?" (Wrong Answer) Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, THEN take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions.


3.The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend?

Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there. This tests your memory. OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities.


4.There is a river you must cross but it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it?

Correct Answer: You swim across. All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.



According to an international Consulting Agency, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong. But many pre-schoolers got several correct answers. This Consulting Agency says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old. Send this out to frustrate all of your smart friends.

Alligator hunters class - tcpalm.com

July 14, 2008
OKEECHOBEE — The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is offering alligator hunters a free three-hour class, in preparation for the Aug. 15 to Nov. 1 statewide alligator harvest. The class will be from 2 to 5 p.m. Aug. 3 at the Okeechobee County Civic Center, 1750 U.S. 98 North.

Reservations are not required to attend. For directions, call (863) 462-5195 .

Class attendance is not mandatory for licensed hunters, but the FWC recommends participants attend. Class topics include preparing for the hunt, hunting techniques and safety, harvesting and processing, caring for alligator hide and alligator hunting rules and regulations. People without alligator harvest permits can also attend.

All hunt permits have been sold for this year, though alligator trapping “agent” permits are available for $52. Agent permits enable permit holders to assist a licensed trapper in taking alligators, only in the presence of the trapper.

Permitted alligator hunters can expect to receive their licenses and hide-validation tags by today. For information, visit MyFWC.com/gators and click “Statewide Hunts.”

The crocodile blues - a children's book by Coleman Polhemus

Synopsis
A quirky mystery featuring jazzy artwork and intriguing gatefolds! This near-wordless story is so much fun that you’ll be improvising aloud as the plot unfolds.
It begins with an egg (no ordinary egg) and an unsuspecting fellow. And then with a CRACK — and a furtive peek in the fridge — this offbeat story is off and running! Before we know it, our hero is hiding under the bed. Next he is fleeing out the door and setting himself up in some safe new digs, until — swoosh — a strange invitation arrives. Both humorously retro and wholly original, with very few words and plenty of double takes, THE CROCODILE BLUES is a book with creative bite that will leave readers anything but blue.

Next time you're in croc territory, here's some tips to help you leave croc territory with everything intact!


*Observe warning signs

*Seek expert advice about crocodiles before swimming, camping, fishing or boating - there is potential danger anywhere in the saltwater crocodile range. If in doubt, do not swim, canoe or use small boats in estuaries, tidal rivers, deep pools or mangrove shores. Saltwater crocodiles may also inhabit freshwater pools and billabongs a great distance upstream.

*Large saltwater crocodiles have no fear of humans - they are often inquisitive and will swim towards boats. Leave the area immediately if you see one.

*Be aware - keep your eyes open for crocodiles. Children and pets are at particular risk in the water or at the water's edge.

*Do not paddle, clean fish, prepare food or camp at the water's edge. Fill a bucket with water and do your chores at least 50 metres away.

*Returning daily or regularly to the same spot at the water's edge is dangerous.

*Stand a few metres back from the water's edge when fishing.

*Do not lean over the edge of a boat or stand on logs overhanging water, and do not hang articles over the edge of boats - this includes arms or legs!

*Dispose of food scraps, fish offal and other waste properly and away from your campsite.

*Do not feed crocodiles!

*Saltwater crocodiles mostly remain near the water's edge and may be attracted to a struggling fish, or a person splashing in the water. Fish and fishing lures are replaceable, human life is not.
