Crocodile Mick plans 'immortality' for mutant croc

[moosenoose]

A saltwater crocodile found in the Northern Territory has been described as a "freak of nature".

The half-metre long reptile has sharp spurs protruding from the underside of its back legs.

The five millimetre-long spurs connect to a bone stemming from the crocodile's ankle joint.

I don't know why he'd want to kill it though??? Just because he can??? Funny how we seem to kills things that are a little different

It's sad that people seem to kill things they don't understand or see as fitting with the norm.

"He's going to have his gut filled up with sawdust and he's going to sit on a mantelpiece somewhere as a freak."

vivid image much? seem like something tat should be studied not killed...

You'll find that it was destined to be killed wether or not it had those spurs.

Crocodile Mick sounds like a real D***head.

Something like that should be given life, not be a trophy for a redneck.

if you need any more evidence for evolution...

Dont start on that lol... there are snakes born wit two heads... evolution or pure accidents? big difference.

 

[moosenoose]

Crocodile Mick has evolved into something :lol:

 

[burger]

pure 'accidents' are the basis of evolution. some accidents, like apparently in this case, are of no benefit or perhaps even a hindrance, and they subsequently die out. some 'accidents' are beneficial, give the animal an advantage in survival, so more of them will breed and find food to survive etc etc, and over time, voila the species will 'evolve' with that attribute. imagine for instance if this spur was in a position that helped the crocodile bring down an animal...
obviously there is no benefit of the snake having two heads, so the species will never 'evolve' to having two heads.

Mick should be put on display as a "Freak of Nature" ....

Yes, that is why bigger breasts are more common these days :lol: :lol:

So Mick killed off a possible evolution process? my hero lol

For having too large of a head and too small of a ...........

comical as that remark is, it has an element of truth. blokes have obviously preferred the more attractive features in choosing a woman over time, so those genetics are more likely to get passed on, and refined over time. which is awesome for the fellas!

well as it says in the article, he thinks it was hindering its movement. so in this case it would be at a disadvantage, and the trait likely to simply die out over time, if not with him. so he just gave Darwin a hand!

Darwin a hand?

The increase in women's breast-size is thought to be a side-effect of the global changing eating habits - less organic, more preservatives, chemicals, hormones, etc. NOT an evolutionary process.

And beauty is cultural and effected by what is trendyat the time lol. 2 generations ago the hour glass shape was what was in... now it's not. :lol:
