9-14-03 - Coyotes are extremely loyal to their mates. If one is caught in a trap, the other will bring small game for it to eat; it will soak itself in a river to allow its thirsty mate to chew on its damp fur for water. It has been documented that the free coyote will stay with its captive partner until death.

Yah, I was watching something about that on the History Channel once... The 6-shooter came and that's all she wrote for the Native Americans' advantage...

Ok, most western folklore agrees it was the multiple shot, lever action Winchester that made the difference. wink

9-16-03 - The digestive juices of crocodiles contain so much hydrochloric acid that they have dissolved iron spearheads and 6-inch steel hooks that the crocodiles have swallowed.

so you mean to tell me that the sattelite thingy that the crocodile swallowed in the Crocodile Hunter Movie didn't really happen?

And all this time I had had so much respect for Steve Irwin....
