Carl is feeling the heat

Phew wot a scorcher.  You wouldn't believe how hot it is sitting up here on my storage heater.  Obviously, the heater's not on.  Feels like it is though.

Actually, I'm feeling the heat in more ways than one...  Three days to go until the sale. Not that there's been much more bidding action.  Not surprised, really.  They're all leaving it until the last minute so they get me for the best possible price.  I'm certainly a steal at my current price...

Anyway, where was I?  Oh yeh.  The heat.  Well here's a totally appropriate fact for you to mull over:

I GOT THE MOUTH SWEATS

Carl's Croco-fact #9

Sometimes you might see a croc basking on the bank with its mouth open.  Why's that?  Is he hungry?  Is he waiting for an egyptian plover to give him a clean (see June 21 post)?  Is he just showing off?  Nope, all wrong.  He's cooling down.  Crocs sweat through their mouths!

Hehe.  Amazing, aren't we!

Stay cool,


Carl
