The little crocodile that could… provide a tasty meal for a snake. See, I think a 6-7 foot long crocodile still sounds pretty intimidating. I wouldn’t poke it with a spoon or try to wrestle it. But I guess if you’re a 45 foot long snake, it’s just a scaly Happy Meal. Yes, a 45-foot-long freaking snake. That eats crocodiles. It would be like Anaconda, except the snake wouldn’t be made out of either plastic or badly rendered pixels and would be, you know, genuinely TERRIFYING.
Extremely cool spider fossil here. I love that you can even see the individual hairs on its legs; it really does look like a modern tarantula. China’s really getting all the good fossils these days. (Insert tired joke here about them being cheaper than American fossils.)
