At times nature can be cruel but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty.
The crocodile, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, normally considered the 'apex predator', can still fall victim to implemented 'team work' strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and survival of the pack mentality bred into the canines.
See the remarkable photograph attached, courtesy of Nature Magazine. Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the croc' preventing it from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it from thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the croc'.

NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH

Good Day All
I am in the process of winding down the estate of my late gardener Petrus who passed away on a neighboring property last week. Amongst his personal possessions was a 8 mega pixel digital camera, the photo quality is outstanding. Enclosed is the last picture which the late Petrus took with his camera.
Kind Regards

Health Tip of the Day -Who knew?!!!!

1. To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka.
 The stuff dissolves adhesive.

 4. To clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking,   let set five minutes and wash clean.

I would love to share this story that I've received – it’s just beautiful!

Just Tired

A while back an old, tired-looking dog wandered into the yard I could tell from his collar (though no tags) and well-fed belly and the fact he was clean that he had a home.
He followed me into the house, down the hall, and fell asleep on the couch.
My dogs didn't seem to mind and he seemed like a good dog and I was OK with him, so I let him nap.
An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.

The next day he was back, resumed his position on the couch, and slept for an hour.

This continued for several weeks. Curious, I pinned a note to his collar that I wrote: "Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap. I don't mind but want to be sure it's OK with you."

The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar:
"He lives in a home with ten children -- he's trying to catch up on his sleep.
May I come with him tomorrow?"

Sometimes when you are angry with someone,
it helps to sit down and think about the problem.

Wenn man manchmal eine Wut auf jemandem hat,
hilft es sich einfach hinzusetzen und über das Problem nach zu denken.

"Herkules" wurde kürzlich vom Guinnes Buch der Rekorde zum größten Hund der Welt erkoren. "Herkules" ist ein English Mastiff, hat ein Stockmass bis zum Hals von 95 cm und wiegt 141kg!!

 

Mit "Pfoten so groß wie Handbälle" (Bericht im Boston Herald), ist das 3 Jahre alte "Monster" um einiges größer und vor allem schwerer als der Rassenstandard, der 100 kg beträgt.  

 Irgendwie süß, oder nicht...?!? ;o)
